If you were building an FC for fun in 2018...
For a dedicated fun/street car and is also pretty well stripped and lightened.
So lets say you could either: 1. Build a billet aluminum 13B (Promaz or Billet Inc. etc...), keeping it NA and run around 210whp 2. Keep the irons, use a turbo and be closer to 350 or 400whp The NA having the reliability advantage, and also lighter weight (Billet block and NA drivetrain). Plus its a bit higher tech with a newer block. Alternatively have more WHP, but also the complexity and wear that turbo territory brings. No PP due to volume and street-ability hence the HP ranges. No V8 because no. If I were rich I'd do a build of each but unfortunately I am not. Knowing what we know now over the years (Reliability vs power, heat etc...) I'm addicted to the idea of both, but can only afford one for our project. |
If it were me since I've always kicked around going turbo. I'd go that route. For the money that a billet engine would cost you could switch to a REW( if you can find one in stock).

If staying at 200RWHP NA, a billet engine is a serious overkill, basically the only thing you are gaining is the weight savings. Since we are dreaming here, I would rock a 3 rotor (short crank) PP NA engine, preferably done with 12A rotors and rotors housings. |
