So guys, what's your favourite?

For me, I would have to say having a turbo is the coolest, but for the most reliable power I'd have to go with all motor. There are less mechanical problems I find from listening to other people. Apparently a supercharger is almost as reliable. When I have sick loads of money, I will experiment.
 
all motor for me..only problem is that to go all motor is costs alot of $$$..I've always seen FI as a way of cheating.. imho.
 
All motor is Cooler...but Turbo is faster for less $$$...but me...I likey sUpErChArGeR!!!
 
turbo, juice, blower,NA, whatever....as long as I get down the quarter first. Never happens mind you (see sig) but it will one day :)
 
I'm all with you Sam, me I believe that whatever tickles your fancy, as long as you can afford it and that its not done in a dark alley ( you know what i mean) it has to be reliable!!!
 
I grader go with a good turbo setup with high performence internal
a very good all motor setup will give you max 200 whp ( for a b16a)
and a good turbo setup will give roughfly around 275whp
(were talking with lower compression pistion and forged rod)
and the price is gooing to be similar!!!
 
For me i like the MOTOR SWAP with a good buildup.
The strongest motor that fits cleanly under the hood
then spice it up
 
There's something intoxicating about the turbo whooooooosh!
Also when bosst sort of comes.......... BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
160-180-210.......... Turbo man, Turbo.
 
GOT BOOST?

lol... only way to go.. where a dyno session can add about 50hp... try doing that all motor!
 
Pat don't tempt me!!!! hehehehe

As for turbo being cheaper????

If you build any kind of setup properly as in to last!!!
last time I checked almost no diff price wise!!!!!!!
 
Easily upgradeable sure but still not cheap when done right!!!!!!!

Right or wrong??????
 
Not cheap, but cheaper if the car had a turbo from the factory. Like I always say, the best car to turbocharge is a turbo car.

In a turbo DSM (because it's the one I know), compared to a non-turbo, you get

- A turbo and a place to bolt a bigger one.
- a manifold for a turbo
- some kind of an intercooler
- a BOV
- an ECU that has fuel and timing maps for a turbo
- a knock sensor (to protect your engine if you run too lean or too much timing)
- a motor that can take twice or triple the HP depending which year
- better oiling (squirters in the cylinder)
- fuel pressure riser (1psi of fuel per psi of boost)

All the things you don't have when you want to convert a NA car to turbo...
