What about the thread on another forum where the guy asked if the engine spins backwards in reverse?

 

Lol ...

 

I love lettuce, I didn't know it would add mad power.

 

Srsly turbos ftw. I just need a bigger one now.

I've always been partial to turbo cars, but mostly due to the ease of extra power from factory turbocharged setups.

 

As far as overall F/I solutions I think that turbos have come quite a long way in the past years. It's now much easier to find a proper turbo that can give both big power and a broad power curve.

 

Superchargers and spray still have their places. It just depends on what you want to do with your setup.

Turbochargers all the way! They aren't nearly as parasitic as superchargers - pretty much free horsepower.

 

Now a lot of you will probably disagree with me here, but to me nitrous is cheating. Its the same to me as an athlete using steroids. Its an completely outside source that the engine doesnt work for. Not to mention it runs out.

This brings up a thread I made about 4 years ago on here.. does VTEC work in reverse? I never tried when I had my Civic.

 

This has been confirmed as working in reverse on another board. VTEC always works. It is like turbo except a lot more gay. Its like WOO WOOOOOOOO You know what i'm sayin?

Sorry, NO2 dudes, but spray sucks. When I step on the gas, my car goes faster. I do the install, and I'm done spending money, other than fuel and maintenance. When you get done with your install, you have to go and have your bottle inspected and filled, and when you run out, you have to do it again.

 

For power, turbos are pretty much it, but when it comes to driving the car everyday, a blower car is just more comfortable. The power delivery is linear, consistent, and instant. No lag, no lurch, just a smooth increase in power as your foot approaches the floor.

I might also throw in that it's just so much easier to tune a supercharged car, or a car with an add-on S/C.

<-linear, consistent, instant - no lag. Thats why god created twin turbos.

 

 

Never had to tune a S/C car so i cant argue there, but cant be that much easier.
