I never said that TIIs are bad at handling. But good point, a linear power band is much more predictable than a boosted one. I will try and find a TII to test drive. The only thing that appeals to me is the power of the TII will allow for longer drifts and more power oversteer, enabling tighter drifts to be easier. Also, with the power oversteer, feint and tail braking, as well as load shift, would be easier. With N/A, you just gotta pull the hand brake and turn....More refined skill is needed for TII, so I think I should begin on N/A.

 

It all depends on how much car for how much money, and how fast you really NEED to go..

 

Well, drift does not mean speed. Drift means control. Money, well you can get a S5 n/a for the same amount as a S4 TII. The other reason I lean toward the S5 is the exterior styling, cuz you wanna look good when sideways!

 

S5's do look good, no denying that But I still think there's nothing like a little boost

 

Boost ****

 

No no no, I don't go around killing you N/A's, somebody has to drive my grandma

 

Oh you bastard........IT'S ON NOW ****!!!!









we are such post ******!!

 

Get the TII!!!!! ( And sell me your header!)

 

Get the tII rico you can learn to controll it. Ahh what i wouldnt do to have boost in the vert.

 

It only takes a couple scary experiences in a TII to learn what you can and can't do.

 

I had several scary experiences in my n/a. It would definatly get away from me sometimes. A rotary at 7k RPM and full exhaust gets fun!!

 

I almost lost it on an RX-7 cruise last fall...I never would have lived that one down. It's a good thing I did 2 perfect drifts (one before and one after) to redeem myself.

"A rotary at 7k RPM and full exhaust gets fun!!" gets even more true if there's a turbo in that exhaust stream.

 

I really think that the non-linear power band is over-hyped as an anti-drifting attribute of the TII. It may be a little harder to learn on, but if you've already got experience, it shouldn't take you more than a few months to feel totally comfortable in your turbo. If that's one of your concerns, I say dismiss it, and grab yourself some boost!

Well, my sales pitch is: "You'll never hear a TII guy saying he wants to go NA."

 

Damn straight, come to the dark side rico, you'll never turn back. There is no redemption once you go boost

 

Well, I've driven plenty of both now....
There are definately different.
The TII boost curve is fairly elastic feeling, it just isn't 100% linear and predictable. But you can get so much more low end torque than is possible with any ported N/A.
It's too bad you couldn't take my S5 ported N/A for a drive, you'd probably really like it, it's a very direct feeling, with a solid, linear increase in power as the revs climb...
I've heard a high compression turbo motor doesn't suffer from this problem as much.. I hope that's true on my engine!

 

 

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO GET ONE OF THOSE!?!?!?!?!?!?! I WILL PAY A **** LOAD FOR ONE OF THOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hahahaha, rico, have you ever driven a turbo, even once? If not, then you should, and then there'll be no NA is better stickers in your car!

 

There are 2 TII in my town. 1 is a S4 that is all rusted and probally doesn't even run, the other I suspect is a fake (GXL rims but TII hood and stickers). Bring the GXLII down here, and let me take her for a spin!!!




I did ride in a tuned FD once before!

 

LOL put that sticker IN your new TII (when you get it)

 

rico: I would let you take the GXLII out for a spin, but you wouldn't know how to handle her, too much for you NA guys to handle However, she is running good now, just need to get that TPS on there and it's all finished

 

But still no hood...

 

ouch, that's hitting below the belt! Don't make me have to stick a FMIC on there and make it a sleeper! You know you want boost rico, just give in to your desires and buy a s4 turbo!
