im turbo stupid, so i ditched my old car and am staying NA. Less headaches IMO.

 

oh boy, here we go.....

 

Indeed...

I'll start...

Either way is going to cost you money to make decent power. Either way will inherently be less reliable than bone stock. Either way will lower your gas mileage compares to stock.

In the end, it's going to come down to what you intend to do with the car other than just daily drive it and horsepower goals you have.

Honestly, chances are that a FI car will be faster than a NA car.

 

a powerfull na motor is more expencive to build
from a dollar to hp standpoint

 

True, and they tend not to last long, but it depends on how much power he wants to make, or more to the point, what he wants his car to be able to do.

 

On a crx the best thing if you have the money would obviously be a N/A build. I personally think a n/a honda is better than a turbo one. Because after awhile and hp, theres only so much the fwd drive can handle. Boosted hondas tend to spin all the way down the track(Dont flame on that, im buildin a turbo hatch right as we speak, its all i can afford). Im not saying that n/a is better, i know for hell its not, but on a fwd honda i think its best suited.

 

it depends on your turbo sizeing and powercurve.

 

Thanks for the help so far...I'm Still In High School and i Just want My car to be reliable more or less...I do want something Fast but i mean its a SOHC vtec motor...I really Want to be kind of the fastest four cylinder but so does everyone else..it's just Turbo..I absolutely love the BOV!!! Its just all the tuning and if its not correctly tuned..the motor will detonate..i really want turbo its just the hassle...is it really worth it? Would my motor be capable of a daily driver if built for turbo?

 

Yea with relatively low boost, and a good tune, there should be nothing wrong with it. With proper maintence it should be just as reliable as a n/a single cam.
