Hey I need some questions answered about boost.
First of all ive got about $10,000 to spend, i am leaning more towards boost but my mechanic says turbo will be a lot more unreliable and every couple of months something could break, such as blown motor. He told me turbos are really hard on the engine and run hot on hondas, that my motor would probaly last 60k miles. He said if i accidently misfhit i could blow the motor easily. Whether or not this is entirely true is what im asking.
Going turbo or NA obviously will not have any corners cut, Hondata would be used on both of them, built head and bottom end, injectors the whole nine yards to building a motor for turbo. I would be running at least 15PSI at the track and low as possible on the street. I dont need or can afford to be fixing it all the time. It needs to be somewhat reliable. Wierd idling, waiting for warmup and cool down is not a concern to me, just if its going to break all the time even if its built right. thanks
