I'm A newcomer to the turbo world and i need some help. i dont know much at all about a turbo setup or all of the parts needed to complete one, but right now i'm debating on either a turbo or ls-vtec.
I'd like to know how the price or a decent turbo set-up would compare to a all motor set-up?? Also what size for everyday low boost usage??

ya that is a good thing as well but my addvice for Jmoney187 is to just boost and dont be cheap about get traction bar and good tunning and the right setup and u will fly u will be able to walk a lot of cars if u have the turbo setup done right so just go boost if u got the money

well heres the thing.. i have a truck that has most of my money and pride right now. and At first i was going to just build the B18B with bolt ons and valvetrain then get a 240sx. But i realized that y not just do what i wana do with the car and i want a more aggressive honda experience. Either way i go (boost or motor) i will do it up right and get it going but i guess the only thing is.. Is a turbo set-up always mroe then an ls-vtec set-up (obviously depending on mods too). ?? Becuz if thats the case then i want all motor becuz i cant spend 5 or $6000 my budget will be around $3000 or so for parts becuz labor is crucial.
Also wahts more reliable?

Most reliable, leave your motor alone. :lol: Just throw a turbo setup on it with 7lbs or so and be done with it. It should more than satisfy your honda experience.

there is always the supercharger. nothing wrong with those i perfer a turbo but there not a bad bang for your buck, when your looking for something on the lower price end
