No that would not scare me...lol. If I save the money that would be awesome.Quoted post[/post]]
why not do both. small shot of nitrous on like 8 pds of boost. if that scares you, i say turbo all the way

I vote you go turbo. Every person who I've known on the bottle has moved up to a snail. I've never paid for nitrous myself, but I'd assume the made the switch for a reason.

1200 kit and tune....good friggin lord. did you add the engine rebuild in that. Nitrous is less dangerous than putting a 1200 turbo setup on a car.

What i would like to point out is, why most honda engines blow under boost. yall might be suprised to know, but VTEC is BAD for Boost. DO yall know what overlap is? overlap will cause exhaust back pressure from the turbo to flow into the combustion chamber, thereby killing your performance. If i find the time, i will find the dynos proving that. VTEC is specifically for N/A engines. It is meant to create a high overlap environment which is inheirently bad for boost. Im sure that many of the people with turbod cars can tell you that high overlap + boost = potentially bad. It may not cause a problem right away, but as said good luck with that ammount of exhaust being pumped back into your cylinders.

so all the sfwd dragsters running vtec are stupid lol
and again, if you look at the blown engines why did they blow? the parts they used? 98% of the time no, ITS IN THE TUNE
cams, new headgasket, new arp head studs would all be nice if i was going for huge power on a stock block but for my goals i will be perfectly safe on my stock b16 with solid 200 compression across the board
so ill say it for the umteenth time ITS IN THE FING TUNE NOT THE PARTS USED and hence one huge part of my setup, wideband tuned by a well known tuner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
and ill stand by my statement, ill take a $1200 TUNED turbo kit over a $900 naaaaaaaaaaaawz setup that is unpredictable any day
and one more thing.... if what you say about "vtec is bad for boost" than stock for stock with both motors being boosted with the exact same setup and properly tuned, a b18a/b should make more power than a b18c..... now go find me that proof to back up your silly comments

Show me a post that ive made that says just add parts without tuning.
And since im out at the shop today, ill confirm that its not all in the parts, and then i will show you what can happen to your engine when you still reuse parts on a turbo engine.
