Do you prefer ALL MOTOR or Forced Induction??

[importadrenelin]

What would you prefer when modding your engine?
Would you rather go All motor or Forced Induction, ie Turbo, SC?

Personally I prefer ALL MOTOR, but nothing makes sick HP numbers like FI cars. The only thing is I always find it much much harder to get those BIG HP #'s to the ground.....

FI man!!!

What do you mean you find it "harder to get to the ground"?

[three.eighteen.]

more money for less numerical HP...it costs huge to get an E36 M3 to about 300-350 whp on n/a setup, but if you go s/c or t/c boost can get you 400+ hp for probably a roughly equal amount of money...but nothing beats a nice all motor powerband...

Turbo with Anti-lag []

[ConVict]

If I could have the same HP numbers out of both I would prefer all motor! But we all know which one creates good numbers... So if you got the money to mod defienitly go F/I !
Just Like I Am

I don't care what it is as long as its got a nice, fat, driveable powerband. Peaky motors suck

[Ekliptix]

When I drive a turbo vehicle, it feels like 'fake' power. Probably just because of the lag. I still like it a lot, it is just different.

IT is harder to get to the ground. Basically you can make 500+ HP but transfering that power to the wheels is very difficult... I know of many Supra's, even Turbo ITR's that are getting no traction through their first 3 gears because the engine is creating such large amount of HP.
Do you understand what I am trying to point out now??

Yup. But I don't see how it is any easier getting traction from a 500hp n/a car.

A turbo engine putting out 500 hp will have more torque than a n/a 500 hp engine. Torque is the grunt that gets you going, so you'll have more wheel spin with a turbo engine when compared with a n/a engine of equal hp rating.

Thats a generalization, and not necessarily true.

[ConVict]

I always assumed a N/A would have more torque ..Hmmm

[300rwhp]

guys, im all for the all moter V8! I know no one else is but thats how you get real NA power, and enough tourque to give you traction problems.

[rage2]

FI's the only way to fly!

[Sykes]

Either or...
Just so long as the car is streetable and predicatble...

[buh_buh]

If I had unlimited money, I would go N/A.
But FI sounds so damn nice!! haha.

[Ajay]

I'm all about the NA but like others said on this board....FI is what produces the numbers!! After I do my swap I would love to build my B16A up to crazy specs but that'll just take too much time and money I don't got while turboing will give me sweet ass power as well.

Can't go wrong with a B16A2 equipped DX hatch that's turbo'd!

[Superesc]

FI... for my little engine that could...
