ok i just wanted to know what you would do and why?
I say Turbo cause for me that is the best option... I can install the turbo myself in one day once i have all the parts... I'll be able to still pass emissions and if i don't i can just pull the turbo out and make the car N/A again...i'll also be about to get a turbo and the rest of the part for a lot less then i could get a jdm engine... and i'm not out to make crazy hp anything more then 200 is to much for me.. i just want a little more kick then what i already have.

I am just trying to tell people to do it right if your gonna do something like turbo a N/A motor.. Read the other topics about this subject and you will see the same thing. I have help to turbo N/A cars before and the result has always been less than satisfying (sp?). You see me as someone just trying to jump on a band wagon - please don't it insults me. I did this swap quite a while ago - and am currently redoing the whole thing to make it even better than before.... I am just trying to tell people that the 3s or 4a swap is going to be a better route and always will, simply because those motors are built for boost where the 7a and 5s are not. If you are turboing your car just for the cool "whooosh" noise then just buy a simulator and move on cuz your doing it for the wrong reasons. Im trying to help you from putting your self into a potentually more expensive and longer process of modifying and probably replacing your motor, trust me a blown motor SUCKS I have gone threw my fair share of blown motors, And you flame me for it..... WTF??!?!?! If you are sick of reading about this discussion... 3s or turboed 5s/7a.. then dont read the topic.. think SWAP OR TURBO for the title would tell you what its about - apparently not. If mommy and daddy wont let you do a swap then research your butt off and do your homework and then sit them down and explain them the benifts of doing a swap vs turboing it, present it in the most favorable light but dont lie about it and let them make a desicion based on the facts. --------------------  99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |
