What is better turbo or nos

[civicgsr_T4_60-1]

really depends on how much boost you plan on running, how you have it tuned and who's the better driver.

[240 STREET DRIVER]

if you plan on doing both i would suggest that you do internal mods like pistons

[somedude]

On the stock motor how much boost could I run. If I got pistons how much boost could I run

[civicgsr_T4_60-1]

On the stock block, you could run upwards of 1bar(14.7psi) with the right amount of fuel. With pistons around 20+psi.

Turbo. And you can run about 16psi on the stock internals, but not all the time. On the track would be cool, but other than that I'd stay between 12 and 14psi.

If you've got $$ get a turbo. If you want the most bang for the buck, get n2o.

Word
But don't think that because you have money that nitrous still isn't the best motor. An extreme nitrous setup can cost you as much as any turbo...Take mine for example...Total cost after all n2o and fuel upgrades = $3500+

Turbo. Just replacing the stock pistons and rods won't do jack. You have to replace the sleeves too. Generally speaking the ''safe'' zones are-stock rods can handle 14 PSI, pistons 12 PSI, and cylinder walls 15 PSI. So just replacing the rods/pistons will only yield you 3 more PSI, unless you want to risk cracking your sleeve.
Like if you ran 12 PSI on stock internals, with the right tuning and mods(like 3'' exhaust) you can be pushing 300 HP. With a built block(with sleeves) running 20+PSI you can do 400 easily.

I would take a turbo over N2O and a Super anyday of the week!

Not completely true. You don't need to get your block resleeved. I konw plenty of guys running just a low cpm. headgasket and they run well over 1bar make 350ish whp. Theres' alot you can do on a stock block depending on which one you are using.

yea well i say someone has high hopes no matter what.nitrous isnt some magical voodoo fog that turns your car into a 10 sec. racer with bolt ons.turbo is a bad mother .....on your wallet.but hey id get turbo the the intercooler-cooler.haha.oh well i dont have money.i will be savin till im 25.but yea im not big/and dont know a whole lot about s/c so im not gonna ramble on.but if ya got they cash./amke you block strong b4 anything.then run 2 bar and kick some ass and blow it up and rebuild it agian.later

Right, full sentences are you friend. You could build a motor strictally for nitrous and run 10's, i'm sure of it.

[sihondasracer]

dude i know that but all im sayin is so many people think that just because they have "nnaaaawwwsss" that they will run 10 sec 1/4's and people have a very distorted view of nitrous.

[civicgsr_T4_60-1]

Ok, i get you there. I agree, there are alot of people that expect way to much out of a little setup. I know people that are only running 14's with a 75 shot and so on.
