sorry boss, its turbo
so whats up guys. i have my hatch 97 cx (d16y7) i/h/e, but anyway. im an undecided person and cant make up my mind on what i should get so im looking for some advice. my goal is 160crank hp and up nothing insane thou

Choice one : all motor setup i would put the y8 head on my car and then install a skunk 1 stage 1 cam, i would also install the pullies and possibly a lightened flywheel, and a apexi afc. i figure this would put my car around 150-160 crank hp.


Or

Choice two: do i get the tsi turbo kit with the t21 turbo, an FMIC, 440 injectors, greddy emanage (no convert to obd1 in ny). im a little nervous about running a turbo on my car but idn. heres the link if you wanna check it out:TunerToys Turbo Specialties "Superior" Turbo Kits For D16 Engines

opinions please
 
yeah i am gonna build it with out the turbo, dont want to deal with that shit
 
ive rebuilt motors, bored and honed them etc. i goto school for auto mech.

im thinking no turbo, its a pain in ny. but really the vtec head and the cam should do it. then high comp pistons if i want...
