Turbo Pro: Fast.Turbo Con:$$$ and sh1t blows up.

NA Pros: Na Cons: Slow, probably blow stuff up less though. Cheaper I guess? NA 200fwhp would cost a ton more than 200fwhp with a turbo or nitrous, though...

I've bought used motor s&w auto parts, 32,234miles, runs, $125.00. Will blueprint and build to place high next year . Will be cracking it open this weekend to start the process. I will make NICO proud, or I will not show.

Just be sure to keep the car clean and tasteful and it'll be a hit.

I honestly just don't see the point. The SR is much, much easier and cheaper to extract power from, and is more reliable at higher hp levels to boot.

That's the whole point. Nissan makes good equipment all around. Some takes a little more tweaking, but when it's done; what a conversation piece. You whoop some accord are civics' #*% and they sacaticely say," oh, it's a turbo sr20. " Then you say,"nope; ga16." That adds insulate to injure.

The GA is purely an economy motor. Now, I understand that there's some satisfaction in that, but in terms of getting the best bang for your buck and the most powerful and reliable of setups a turbo GA just doesn't make much sense.

I GOT ONE GA16DET AND I HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY WHEN I RACE WITH A SR20DE BUT WITH A SR20VE THATS A DIFERENT STORY
THE PERFORMANCE OF MY CAR IS GREAT AND I DIN'T SPEND 1,000 BUCK'S
