Reasons NA>Turbo

[CasperR]

Let's share the reasons why NA > Turbo. Why choose to go for DC5 over the Skylines/RX7 etc family.

What makes NA better than Turbo? They can slam a turbo and get a high jump of figure. But why Integra is still your final choice

Express your opinion/experience here. What is your goal you want to achieve on your car?

Confused which side should I be in.

Turbo have to pump fuel +- every 2-3 days. NA can go on for about +- double that.

Turbo higher consumption, higher wear & tear parts. If you are a hardcore turbo user, very extensive modification needed to the cooling system to ensure it is reliable (very high engine temp). Power wise turbo has more Gforce. Last time using turbo car and now DC5. Still DC5 is just nice in terms of reliability & maintainance for me.

arent turbo cars lower compression? :hmmmm:

well... NA cars have less maintenance parts. and you can thrash a honda non-stop on a track, and still make the drive back from Sepang without worrying something is going to break down along the way.

this completely depends on driving style and intensity of mods
a stock turbo car is really good on fc as would a stock na car also be
but u cant just go and categorise all turbo cars as being gas guzzlers
just IMHO

This is an age old question bro. Got extra money to burn, get a turbo charged car. Its all about whether you could afford maintaining one. Most people sell them after a while due to the high maintenance factor.

But nothing beats the fun of driving one. You gotta feel the G Force bro!! Just go ask the 300hp WIRAs and the SATRIAs. Haha!!
