keep us in the loop if you do do it, ive been toying with this idea for a long time
when are u going to do it?
just toying with it at the moment mate... but it would be interesting to get a first hand account of some of the difficutlies, challenges and results... so if you do do it soon then just keep this thread updated
you know you've just contradicted yourself by saying you want to get a better launch with a SC on a FWD !.Quote:

plus theres some nice heat issues with FI cars .
SC does launch better as they have instant boost on tap. I rem running a 4agze bloody quick on the take off.
Heat issues will always exist with any high modded car, just need a good oil cooler
Please continue with the better launch explenation.Quote:

NA high powered engines are more costly than FI engines.
dollar for KW, FI will always be cheaper
Doesnt FI stand for Fuel Injection???
Do you mean Turbos Limbo?
FI stands for forced induction.Quote:

The vortech kit however... good luck with traction if you have shit tyres and you dump it... that will make for shit launch.
on another note, i had a gt starlet that ran a tiny ct9 turbo... this thing stock ate pulley upgraded 4agze's time and time again... different story after 100km/h though :p 7psi full boost on this tiny thing was achieved by around 2000-2500rpm and it barely made 100wkw at the dyno hehe
turbo setup will always be better.. it's about being smart with turbo choice for what you wan't... i would personally run a smaller turbo for my b16a if i could... however i'm also still eye-ing the jackson racing kit vs my NA build plans... but thats me.. i'm after midrange or possibly lowend... the B16 is starting to piss me off... makes me look like a hoon when i have to rev it to the **** just to get it moving especially on pacific highway going to central coast with all those uphills
hhmm... i just realised why small turbos aren't feasibly on Honda's.. they rev too high beyond peak efficiency and would kill small turbos hence why bigger turbos are used...
^^^^ Lol @ dsp26...
But seriously if you want to be different to others around go supercharged :) Don't care about the gains or the price (if you could lol) and just think of the way the supercharger deliverys instant torque and the whine if you like that XD
