Not nearly as much. You could use a used turbo and rebuild it to save some coin. Also you don't even need head work for turbo. NA you would need an amazing port and polish costing over a G easily. You dont even need a cam to boost the F. Intercooler, BOV, wastegate, exhaust mani, and charge pipe can be had for under 1000 total easily. The tune is going to matter the most, but either way the tune will cost the same.

For someone who is asking us how to make a N/A car fast, you sure have that number set at "4-5 grand" for making 300 horse. You won't see those numbers without boost. And you could easily hit that number for a rough 2500 bones. $2500 MIGHT rebuild your block in a N/A setup to hit those same numbers

im currently at 260whp with my allmotor setup and ive spent 3000x3.75 so far to get that hp if you want me to break it down for you heres what your looking at
1.bad ass headwork im not talking your normal port and polish from some friend of yours. i got mine done through d.p.r. cost for stage 6 head with all new valves, valvetrain,cams=$3000

2.stroked block bored over ect ect the whole nine yards including sleeves sorry but stock sleeves wont cut it . i got all my engine work done by a.e.b.s. cost $2800 and thats for full assembly and all parts ie;rods,pistons,bearings balance and blueprinted

3.header got have a good one dc sports aint gonna help you there me i got a hytech cost$1400 and a 6 month wait but well worth it

4.i.t.b.s. you could try and do a diy setup but if your ballin in cash then twm is the way to go i picked up my set for $1200 plus another $200 for injectors 660cc

5 engine management when i started this build only thing out there was hondata which at the time didnt support itbs so i went with aem ems cost for me after the training classes i went to for 2 days $900

so add that up and then make your decision

Because it will get you to your power goal cheaper AND more reliably then an N/A build making that much power.

Yeah, it probably will, if not more. Have you actually built a 300 horse N/A Honda before? I'm guessing no, otherwise you'd know how much it would cost.

I doubt you'd see 300 N/A wheel horse for 4-5 grand. AND, a turbo setup, as long is it's tuned well, can be extremely reliable.

You can make 300 wheel horse for much cheaper with turbo then with an N/A build. For 4-5 grand you could have a mean turbo Accord. I doubt you'd get that far putting that much into an N/A build, and I doubt it would be as reliable...
