I just had a huge talk with a 19year honda certified mechanic about this.
I was always under the impression that hondas should be turbo'd. Well, he proved me wrong. He has built and driven just about anything there is that is Honda or Acura. He said that if you are a power freak, go right agead and turbo the piss right outa your ride . . . just make sure that you've got the wallet to pay for all the maintence that comes along with doing that. He said that he'd s.c. a few motors out there and they drove like a dream. Since he races as well and builds custom one off motors for other racers, I had his full attention. For an every day driver that you want to out last the rest . . . S.charge it! If you are a wrench and don't mind putting in the extra time/money into the car, turob it. Either way, you'll be alot happier with what you've got. I'm going to supercharge the next honda I get . . . but I'll talk about that later!  Sam - |

A turbo motor can last just as long as a supercharged motor...all in the tuning.

sound cooler? i disagree, i love the sound of a turbo. i wouldn't say they're cheaper either, really depends on what you get.
