Oops, he said 200 to the wheels. That does not seem to happen very often with NA rotaries, other than the Renesis.

Hey man, if I ever go for some boost it will be with a roots. I am a little different. I am not too knowlegeable on turbos . . though I hear that they are more efficient than all but twin-screw blowers.

 

yeah, i agree about the blower... i think if you are going to be focusing on handling and behing able to come out of corners fast, the last thing you want is to be unsure when the boost is going to be coming on (when driving like that im spending my time on the road not on the gauges )

so in that case id think a charger would give you the nice flat response curve you might be looking for (i know its the route im going if i ever get the money)

 

haha, its just 200 to the wheels, that's nothin. most people just happen to go turbo with money. i was thinking of building a 250whp n/a to keep it more streetable than breaking the 300 mark. Don Marvel has mad a 350whp (i believe) and was shooting for 400. its just porting. any one who doubts that 200 to the wheels is any bit difficult in a streetable n/a is just plain silly. not common, no doubt, a simple task, you betcha.

 

400rwhp with an N/A, thats a PP 20B dude, and there is no way in hell that your going to get 250rwhp through smog legally.
I might be able get 200hp with a different intake manifold and microtech, but I think that I want a little more. And I would really like to get into racing turboed sports cars (yeah right like that will ever happen). I am going to be waiting a while to so the turbo, as I want to get my motor in and build up the suspension.

 

NA's definitely feel more agile, predictable, and nothing really matches the responsiveness (both steering and throttle.)

Turbo's have a mushy feel on the gas pedal (but 3rd gear pull is amazing!) and as mentioned, have to be careful about boost when taking a turn. I love the power of turbo but I'll be working more with the suspension. Although the NA, IMHO, will always be slightly more fun for pure driving experience.

 

If it didn't cost so damn much I would throw in a streetported 20b, but I can get that power with turbo swap for half of the $$$
