All motor or Turbo

[Muffdriver]

For the money which would be better for autocrosses, KA24de or KA24DET???

depends a 200rwhp NA setup would most likely cost more than 200rwhp tubro setup. the powerband would be vey similar using a t25 turbo

KA24DE w/ bolt ons = faster IMO.

Especially if they like to make really tight technical courses.

you're asking this on the ka-t forum... what do you think the response will be? think your responses will be just a little biased...yeah just a little... do a search, this has been covered before. also try looking on the regular ka forum, or maybe general chat or something else, because everyone here is going to tell you KAT!!!!

by the way i think the turbo is better... going "all motor" is just another way of saying "i'm afraid to blow up my engine"... this engine is way capable of 200hp with such little modification... it won't even notice a difference. so go for it!

An all motor KA wold be 'better' but more expensive.Given a NA motor and turbo KA with the same power, the NA KA would have a better powerband.

If I were you I would get a rulebook, find what class you want to autocross in first, then build the car. Simply adding a turbocharger to a vehicle can throw you in to a class with much faster cars. In the long run knowing the rules of you class will save you money because you wont be adding any unnecessary modifcations to your vehicle, and wont be forced to remove certain items to qualify for a certain class.
