i dont want to sound like a bastard but this question has been asked to death. Do a search and you will find all the threads concerning your question :thumbsup:

[rAySiR]

each person would have their own opinion....

both has its pros and cons

[edw-R]

Yeah..do a research in USA. Many people in USA have experience with playing turbo and swap ITR engine.

I just wanna to ask........ do you like VTEC+TURBO?
My opinion is, Turbo is Turbo, VTEC is VTEC, why gotta put it together?

Sorry man posted at the same time. Whats the difference in boostin a Vtec motor or a not Vtec motor? Is the same reason for both, more Hp and more torque.

We are going off topic. Maybe you should start a new thread? :thumbsup:

What i think is....... correct me if i am wrong, I've got enough attacks......

Vtec - High Compression Ratios, high rpm
Turbo - Lower compression for higher boost, different A/F mixture.....

[Mugen_B16B]

vtec turbo is awesome because i reckon it redlines like quick as my friends for a civic coupe with a bolt on turbo and its onli a sohc d16y8 and its pretti quick with just a bolt on, keeps up to a stock wrx but he needs a tune up

[panda[cRx]]

nothing wrong with vtec turbo....
u seen them in action? u been in one?

[spoondc2]

I see.....
I never own a Vtec turbo but as i said it's just my personal opinions

[SiR JDM]

Back on topic, ive read of a few people boosting their y4s... like Adam said, you should have done a search, i picked this up within a second

It depends what you want from your car. If you want the easiest way to boost power, then turbo is definatly the way to go.
Some people (like myself) like the high reving NA engines, i love it when my b16 keeps pulling after 8 .. the sound etc..
But then again, the rice boy inside my loves intercooler spool and BOV :D and the pull of the turbo =]

Its all really what you want.. stage 1 turbo and a b18c7 will roughly cost the same to do

btw why the b18c7 from the states?

[joyride]

yeah why a b18c from the states? you know you can get b18c motors here...

and i have driven a turbo ITR, its bloody awesome.

[Mugen_B16B]

because its hard to find b18c7 ova here very rarely u would come across a b18c7 or even ab18c5! but i heard the b18c6 has a comporession of 12 is that true???

[SiR JDM]

I prefer a b18cR from the land of the rising sun if i was considering importing from overseas, but upto you
