ok. alot of people talk about how they are gonna get the turbo kit as soon as it comes out. same idealogy for the supercharger. but IN ALL HONESTY: how many of you would really shell out 4 G's to put a turbo in our car(and our car would still be slow)?
alot of ppl say "yo, i'll be on that kit the day its released" or " im saving up for the turbo now"
but are you really gonna get it?
i think ppl are just full of sh!t. i dont think 95% of the ppl who say they're gonna get it, will actually fork over the $.
so...would you really buy the SC/turbo, or is it that you would just like to see the kit out?

i think i'd like to see if it made that much of a difference before i bought it. Like if the car made 200 horses after it i'd say yes. But if it made 200 horses It's probably alot easier to do a k20 swap. And then put a turbo on that[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
Same here. And to think I was one off those ppl that wanted to put pressure on Comptech by emailing their a$$ off You got a very strong point. I just think that once turbo's and SC's come out for our cars, it'll give our tuning/styling scene an extra boost. Even if only a handfull have got the balls to go for it. Sounds a hell of lot better then to tell someone there isn't a kit available [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] So I guess we sometimes talk big about stuff, when in fact we should tune it down a bit. But that's part of the fun in here I think. And if everyone here was 100% honest we'd all be driving an RSX-S [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

bro, dont turn this into a flame war. its a legit question. its has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with anything you just said.
I actually have plans to do an engine swap. But I want to have my car's exterior up to par before I shell out 9G's for a k20. That's why I'm not wasting any money on i/h/e. I'll just end up pulling them out with the engine right? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG]
You know it does all depend on the performance once something is available. I would like to have a supercharger on my car. and if I could get somewhere above 50ish HP from one, then I would shell out the money. But if one does ever come out and it's a disappointment, then no. I don't think I would ever get a turbo though. Does that answer your question?
yes. completely. thanks. one thing though, what do you see 177 hp as? is enough to get you around, or is it a huge boost in power?
i dont know how to say this, but i think if you're looking for power, anything less than about 220-250 is low-power in IMO. i hope i didnt confuse anyone
I agree, it'd be neat to see a turbo out for our car, but I would never want to deal with the daily driver aspect of a turbo'd engine. A supercharger is different, but I don't see one of them coming out for the d17 in the next few years. The gude package seems a good alternative as it yields almost as much as a street legal turbo kit would provide. I for one don't have the money for any of it, but after the summer hopefully I will. Peace
I'm planning to get a turbo. No BS! I'm starting small and working up. First LX -> EX exhaust conversion, then guages, then an oil cooler, then a new clutch, then the fuel system, then the intake piping and BOV, then the exhaust manifold and downpipe, then the turbo, then a slight change in intake piping and an intercooler. It's all going to be a build up process. There are tons of details, but some of these things can be done before anything else is done. I'm not BSing. I'm researching and I'm going to to start buying things that I could even use if I didn't get a turbo installed. Then when it's time for the intake piping I'll have to make a decision. NA, FI, or nitrous. Until then...
