and boost isnt??

IMO NO its not. Being as the sr20 was developed to be a turbo motor to begin with and its available stock with turbos in other countries...... tell me how using an OEM set-up is cheating. Get your facts straight before you start with the diareah moulth please.

hmmm get pissed dude.....its all the same, you are adding somthing to make your car go faster period. I dont care if its factory or not, forced induction is forced induction. And for the record i didnt need any facts to make that statement. That is my opinion. By saying that sr's came factory turbo charged insults me. I dont no you or your car but i dont appretiated being spoken to like a 3 year old. So your opinion sucks and so does mine....Oh well.

both are power adders, one is just the chemical version and one is the mechanical version

how do you measure both methods of forced induction???? In PSI.... boost is boost. One runs hot as sh!t and one runs cold as f*ck. Either method is not naturally aspirated and CHEATING is a persons perception on the issue. I came from building small and big blocks. We would have considered turbo charging cheating just because you were forcing your motor to perform supernaturally. Boost is boost, and your opinion is YOUR opinion. In my preferance, I would take nitrous over turbo because your not always running it and the only time you have to worry is when its armed. Turbo runs constantly. Turbo is free (no refills like nitrious) but it comes at a price of driveability and maintenance. Nitrous costs to fill up, but its hassle free when ***-armed. Lets not get our panties in a bunch over an opinion.

In my opinion I think turbos are better because you got the advantage that you got the power right under the hood at all times, with out refills, and if is a daily driver a boost controller is your best friend.

The only disadvantage I see with turbo is lag:( , but with a light-weight flywheel and the right turbine(ball bearing) you could keep the lag to a minimum.:biggthump

I agree with KnuckleDuster I think spray is cheating because eventually you run out:eek: unlike turbos that its always there:D .

so anyone with an exhaust is cheating. so anyone with anything other than oem is cheating. is that what your saying? *** nos is a mod. just like everytying else is

:eek: Wow....Nice comment.... Very scientific approach with the "running out view". You can "run out" of boost anytime your sh!t breaks. Lets take a n/a car with a bottle across the country vs a turbo car. I can bet you any money you will be checking your oil every time you fill up and worrying what your egts are down the road with a turbo car. I dont think we should get into the reliability factor here. We might "RUN OUT" of steam talking about turbo's car lack of reliability. Refilling the bottle is alot easier then replacing turbo parts or even worse your engine. Cheating has nothing to do with running out. Thats like stating that you are cheating cause your engine is running out of fuel at high boost. :rolleyes: I guess anyone that runs out of whatever they have are all cheaters. Good one. Lets keep our comments on a 15+ year old level. Thanks

Am sorry I didn't know that nitrous is a safer type of forced induction than

turbocharging. You should share your knowledge with all the people that blow up

their motor because they decided to watch "The Fast and The Furious"(like you)

and put nitrous in their car.

I dont recall stating that nitrous is safer than turbo charging. It is a simpler system to use and its off when you dont need it unlike a turbo charger. Therefore it is alot more dependable. I am really happy that you have somehow pulled that out of my previous statement. Simply due to the fact that you can read more than one line without getting dizzy.

You should check the movies out... There are alot more cars that are turbo charged in those movies than running on nitrous. My bud has ran spray in his car since it had 22k on the clock. Now hitting 160k, it still runs great and no problems. Try running close to 140k miles on a turbo motor and let me know how that goes.

Your comment shows your immaturity and lack of respect for every aspect of forced induction. Actually, it shows lack of knowledge and respect for the car industry. If you have a Nissan, please drop what your doing, and go back to playing with legos. Legos are more on the playing field with your mentality.

IMHO somthing that you spray to get a burst of power for a short ammount of time is pointless. An exhaust is installed and the power is made. Done. Installing cai, exhaust, adjusting timing ect. is "tuning". Simply adding a bottle and spraying NAWS into your car to get the same effect or more just seems wrong to me. Adding nitrous IMO is not tunning. Its an easy power mod that is limited so I dont like it. I prefer consant power. I dont care about running fast 1/4 mile times.


Edit: Koz, concerning the turbo vs nos reliabilty issue. If done right a turbo set-up can be made verry reliable. Low boost, upgraded cooling, ect. Same goes for nos. You can make eigther verry reliable providing you do it correctly.

You dont remember stating that nitrous was safer but yet you are willing to go

around the country to test a nitrous vs turbo car and bet me money.

I might be 15 like you said but I least remember what I say. do you have

alzheimer's or something?:confused:

when their is professional racing, they categorise by power adders and if one or 2 are used, not nitrous vs turbo

Come on children. Arguing over nitrous and turbo is something that has been done since the beginning of time.

I found when I ran n20 I got so addicted to the pull that I was using it at every stop light in first gear(auto trans). But n20 does do something to your reliability. When I was using n20 it would jolt and torque the trans and motor when engaged. Broke a few wheel studs in the process. A turbo if you pedal it right it boost's smooth into the hp's and hwy driving you hardly see boost. So taking a turbo car and a n20 car across the country is a ridiculous comparison cause the n20 car would not be pushing 210hp. Ask anyone with a boosted car. They wouldn't think twice before taking their car across a few states. Checking your oil every 3 hours is worth 210hp.

You cant compare the price of having 210hp all the time to only when your wallet will allow you to refill the 35 dollar tank. If you want it everyday for when that 5.0 stang rolls up at the stop light then TURBO. If you want to make some numbers at the track then N20. But if you have it you'll spray no matter what...How can you let that 5.0 stang walk over a sr20? That would be sac religious!!!

safer has nothing to do with reliability. Safer means that its more controlled... more reliable means that its less prone to break....
