    turbo os N/A

    im just about to start serious mods over the coarse of this year to my dc2r,
    but im unsure as to if i want turbo or N/A, im fully aware of the costs and whats involved in each but my question is:

    a) can some one with a turbo type r take me for a drive
    b)can some one with a decent N/A setup take me for a drive

    Ask yourself this first, what do you want out of your car?

    A drag happy car? Then boost.

    A track happy car, then N/A.

    Generally speaking.

    Have a look/read at Forced Induction threads/posts and All Motor threads/posts. Might help you in your decision.

    But whicheva way you go, good luck with it mate.

    What ToE said but we all know what the type R is made for. Was never made for a straight line car. If you wanted a drag happy car why don't you just get a turbo car. Be much cheaper in the long run.

    Oh yeah....By boosting a Type R it defeats the purpose of having a well balanced car. Might as well boost a VTIR. You're going to destroy a perfectly beautiful machine by boosting a type R but by god it will fly. If you stick to N/A you're gonna have urself ultamite track machine.

    why wont it be well balanced anymore spermz? IMO the type-R responds perfectly to a low boost setup whether it be for the track or just straight line

    u know why pedeh, cos when it hist boost, its all over, the traction is gone, and ur car will skid sideways from the omg huge sick re torque!

    yeah stick to NA for track, cos Turbos were banned in F1 cos they killed all of drivers on the track cos of the torque steer, and how unbalanced the car is..

    :rollseyes:

    There's been an in depth discussion regarding the reliability and performance of boosted ITR's vs. worked NA ITR's and their tracking prowess over on cRSX Aus.

    Seems that the routine canned advice of "boost for "drag", NA route for track" isn't always 100%.

    I suggest you do some further research Jomsy, before taking on board too much 'Net mechanic advice. I really have no idea or experience regarding this whatsoever, so I won't bother inputting directly to your question.

    I was just wondering how can torque steer occur on an F1 car are they not rwd unless u mean oversteer.
    Speaking of F1 does anybody know where to get past seasons of F1 like the good old days of turbos and senna and mansel and other greats not like todays F1 whith a certain red machine, wink wink!
