turbo conversion or throttle bodies

[gary_vvti]

as the price for both are very similar i carnt decide which to go for? any input would be appreciated.just dont want to lose driveability in the corners.was looking at the engine dynamics low boost kit or jenvey throttle bodies with the gen 90 ecu

 

[Sam@NP]

Depends what you want from the car, I prefer natural aspiration but its not a cost effective way upping your power.

 

[Wick]

As above on both accounts.

Do you like boost, or do you like chasing the power into the upper revs?

I'm all for turbo mate. But throttle bodies are equally awesome just your not going to be get as much power

Personally I'd go for itb's and chuck in cams. If u want boost buy a turbo'd car. Itb's sound epic

We currently have 2 turbos cars in and one on ITBs, Fred should be able to talk you through the finer details of each.

Bob on. I'll never boost the 172 as I'm a NA fan but if you want power then boost is the way to go. I guess I'm just not that fussed by having big power. (Having said that Stus flower is awesome!)

 

[domsclio182]

If you want N/A delivery and your car to be much faster, get it supercharged.

 

[Kyle 86]

^^ totally agree. Boost or supercharged is the way to go for power. ITB's do sound the dogs danglees but its a lot of money to chuck at a clio for not a lot more power especially if you are chasing figures.

Did you get round to ringing BTM today Gaz?

You and I are going to fall out... LOL! (ITB's and cams all the way...)

Haha i hope we dont

ITB's do sound epic but i do love boost lol

 

[Fletcher]

ITB's > Boost.

 

[Joe#]

ITB's > Boost.

Agreed.

Once you've had boost, you dont go back.

 

[Russ_16v]

It all depends on what you want, if you want power then boost is a no brainer - I mean completely, as for the same money as itb's you will have at least 40bhp and 60 lb ft more.

But if you want it quicker than it is, to sound really nice and generally behave like a standard car just more power everywhere with no lag then itb's are a good way to go.

No one way is better than the other, it's just what each person personally wants

incorrect. Been there, done that.

I always wanted to put a 225 engine in a 197, but everyone's doing it now, so trumpets it is

 

[Fred@BTM]

and boost isn't quicker regarldess of what the dyno says
