yeah get the turbo.. my na handles great but i hve to put too much effort into beating integras... shifting at 8000 just to beat a riced integra is fun at first but gets tiring

hmm, I shift at 8000 during normal driving, maybe I should ease up a bit.

hehe nah.. the rotary loves its... its like exercise for the engine lol which is fine as log as you can afford the gas

So I gather that the turbo also makes a good daily driver....but if I'm worried about cost, (maintanence and upgrades, not initial cost) is it still the best choice?

Almost everyone I know with a TII has had a reliable daily driver...before going crazy with mods and turning up the boost.



Mine runs low 14s at the track, gets 23 mpg on the highway, only breaks when I'm retarded.

mine blewup because i was drag racing it twice a week. at the end i was running 15+ psi..........

you can supercharge it and will not kill engine life,byt only run about 8psi

thats really uncharted territory though.

U could say the same thing about a turbo engine, just run it at low boosts, then if u wanna play crank it up. Psi is Psi no matter if it comes from a turbo or SC. The car is already setup for a turbo and has a turbo model so there would be no point to putting a SC in it, unless u want to be different and like to fab things up yourself. But its kind of pointless to be that fast with all that $$ later..

I drove a TurboII my friend was considering buying, it was a peice of junk though and made my NA feel fast



However I drove another TurboII a friend did the brakes on at his work after bullshitting with the owner... 1-2 shift on boost put the car sideways, can't say i've had that problem in my NA.

I had a NA automatic, and when it got backed into, I was more than willing to take the insurance money and get a turbo II. I did just that, and I love it. Sure, it cost a lot to rebuild the engine, but my mechanic said as long as I dont mod the crap out of it with too much boost, I should expect another 100,000 mi.



With my 86 NA, I always drove it like it was fast, but it wasn't. Especially with an auto, I always got beat off the line. There's no replacement for the feeling when the turbo kicks in, and that sound.



Pretty nice for a daily driver, expecially since I'm running about 7 psi and have beat an impreza and a mustang 5.0. What other car can you say that about?



GO TURBO II.
