[QUOTE="zerokool, post: 3232742, member: 3873"] wah wah so many opposing views... having driven and owned both turbo and VTEC cars I would say there are miles of differences between the two but the goal is the same.. to juice out as many HP as possible from any given engine displacement. Mine is a B16A with Toda 1.8 stroker and everything else Type R and 4.785FD. I have smoked a GSR wira, a Miraged Wira. Both are my friends'. And a turbo Satria has smoked me before on PLUS highway heading to JB. Sh%t, he was pulling very fast in 4th gear I can barely catch up.. but suddenly he slowed down.. and I wondered why until I reached home and found spots of engine oil on my EK's bumper and hood.. Apparently he upped the boost in anticipation of a sprint with me and at the end his engine/turbo got problem. So, in short, both turbo and VTEC have each its own pros and cons. Take your pick. To those Turbo guys buy a Honda with a VTEC (don't simply pinjam your friend's ride) and you'll never regret it. And of cource B16A, be it big VTEC or small VTEC won't do any justice to VTEC. Go for B16B, B18C5R and you'll be smiling at 9000rpm. Of course VTEC is not cheap and for the most bang for the buck turbo is the only option. but one thing for sure... YOU CAN TURBO A VTEC BUT YOU CAN'T VTEC A TURBO.... PEACE! p/s: I own a white 2Door EK9 replica.. but I never feel very handsome or lan si pun like some of you turbohead think.. hahaha Bump: Wat 9000RPM? mine can hit 9500rpm if I want to.. hehehe Bump: F*CK those who said turbo cars are CACAT cars.. I as a VTEC (and previously a turbo owner) won't simply accept this. Don't simply paint the town red just because one bad apple is calling you CACAT cars. This is an isolated case and don't use this as an excuse to hate VTEC owners. Bump: You are describing a handful of VTEC owners only.. My VTEC is damn loud but it's only a second car. I drive my two daughters around in a quiet car. So better qualify your statement regarding baby crying/shocking with the word "some" if you don't mind. Bump: [size="7"] Huh? VTEC sound at 3000rpm?
