NA or BOOST?

[dondon360]

I dont really know what to do with my car next the suspension is about done I have skunk 2 full coilovers, passwordjdm 2pt strut bars, omni power rear LCAs, and a tanabe rear lower tie bar, the only other thing i want are swaybars. Now I am going to focus on engine performance and right now i have a b16 swap with hydro tranny and exedy stage 2 clutch with short shifter, aem intake, BDL fuel rail and B&M reg, DC sport headers 4-2-1, and thermal research catback. Dont really know if I want to keep it NA and get a skunk 2 manifold, bdl throttle body, msd ignition, and some other bolt ons, not really looking to pull motor again and build internals right now just got the swap done, but probably would do cams soon if kept NA. The other option would be is to build my own turbo kit and run on about 5psi. Just wanted to hear some opinions about what i should do.

you asked NA or boost in a forced induction section.

most people who will respond will say boost

 

[WillyBigNut]

i say boost

 

[dondon360]

Yeah I was thinking boost but what turbo should i go with a T3/T4 not really sure what size.

 

[Steven.]

for only 5 psi, id say t25
or just a regualr t3.

what size t3/t4 were you thinking?

was looking at something like that

 

[WillyBigNut]

i wouldn't buy an ebay turbo...

 

[dondon360]

Yeah but dont really have the money for a brand name turbo and an ebay one should be fine only running 5psi, Im not to sure about turbos though thats why i asked.

 

[Steven.]

ill be running that same kind of turbo.
i paied $170 for it and plan on running 250+whp with it.

that i think, will be to big for only 5 psi.
thats a .57 trim.

find somethign a little smaller

 

[dondon360]

How was the quality of it?

 

[Steven.]

How was the quality of it?

but yeah find something smaller then a .57trim.

i think he'd be sorta wasting money if he went boost, since he'd have to get rid of his intake, and header. but boost>NA any day of the week

I.M.O. boost actually defeats the purpose of a true HONDA MOTOR.....so i say rev it to 9k because N/A all day is the way i choose to play lol, but on a serious tip i'd say all motor homie

Boooooost. I would not run an ebay xs power turbo. I have seen them fail too many times but if thats all you can afford and you need to do it now, go for it man!

Boost it, that way it'll blow up, you don't deserve a B16 if you even had the least little thought going through your head of boosting it ...
