What kind of engine?

Okay, i'd like to know what kind of engine you'd racers like to have out there in the world? All Engine? Turbo? Supercharge? Etc.

V8 preferably, but a turbocharged SI motor will also do the trick

all motor. i mean, yeup, nice to have turbo to run even quicker, but still the challenge of having an all motor car running 10's is crazy. (for hondas)

yah i think NA is more fun to. take a B18c 1 or 5 and try to get as much power as you can all motor. anyone can just go out and buy a turbo. tuning all motor takes work and knowledge.

no way! Turbo is the only way to go! Turbos have better compressor effiencies than superchargers! And, turbos don't have the parasitic losses that superchargers have! If it's a 4 cyl, single turbo is the only way to go big!

i wouldnt say tgurbo is the only way to go but it is much better than a supercharger. especially for 4 cylinders for reasons already said by hey yo.....

also, another reason why a big single turbo is better for a Civic 4 cyl is because with a bigger turbo, you get more lag, which I agree is not as responsive but can actually help get more traction off the line. And second, if you want to have a daily driver and want as little lag as possible, a well engineered single turbo can be as responsive as two. I seriously think that 2 turbos should be left for the 6 cyls

p.s. my opinions may be wrong, I'm only 14, but I still think that I know enough to give you advice.

Peace

good job hey yo. you have some good knowledge for a 14 yr old. youre definitely right about the lag thing and all the other reasons why supercharging is bad for our cars. keep up the good work
