NA vs Turbo
Can someone explain to me the differences and advantages of NA vs Turbo?
I'm so sorry Rich...I really, really couldn't let that one go and will accept any punishment you feel necessary without complaint.

Na motors are very limited, but are easier to work on as well as not blowing up as easily, the biggest disadvantage is they take a lot more money to get to the 200+ HP mark (stock 146 HP 86-88, 160 HP 89-91)
Turbos are close to 200 HP stock and get power way easier (stock 180hp 87-88, 190hp 89-91), however get worse gas mileage and will blow up easier if not properly modded and maintained.
The end
PS. You can get that brap, brap, brap from any rotary, its from the engine being ported, the more extensive the porting is the more brap there will be.
In order from smallest to largest (streetport, half bridge, Bridgeport, j port, peripheral port)
Rotary >Pistons
