on the turbo on small engine cars. I'm into Nitro RC cars (not so much right now), and they make a turbo and supercharger application for 2.5cc engine. Thats .0025L BTW. They are cool in my book

thats what my ****in point was ITS NOT HARD TO BUILD A TURBO HONDA. theirs a reason why people goto stand alone systems its called reliability. good for you and your CRX but im sorry i stick with my 2.0L comment and up. its a BIG waste of time trying to get power outta anything below that. reason being your all Top end and no bottom. plus i could spend less money on a Chevy 350 than you do on your Honda B16A or B18's and still kick your ass. if ya wanna talk about corners fine ill whip out my Turbo 2.3L mustang and kick your ass. go ahead call me ignorant or w/e but just remember you'll never win =P
oh also for your CRX you wasted alot of time and money on it. your 720cc injectors = waste, your T3/T4 turbo = waste come on its only running 8psi.... no tuning alright you just wasted alot of money GOOD FOR YOU.
oh...lemme guess...you say a turbo on anything below 2.0 b/c you have a 2.3 right? right, that makes a whole lot of sense. i wasted all of 1400 bucks on the turbo setup i have...man, i sure wish i hadn't done that. you have no logical reason that a turbo shouldn't be put on anything less than a 2.0 (maybe b/c it's a nice even number?) what's so bad about being all top end in a high revving application? i don't need power below 2k b/c i'm never there. only 8psi? wow, yeah...8psi does nothing, you're right... whip out your 2.3L mustang and kick my ass...hmmm...easy to type that isn't it?

Saleen 351.... Your deffinitly naive. You should just say "no one should turbo charge a four cylinder" but you cant say that because that would make you a hypocrite. An internal combustion engine, basicly works the same no matter what size the displacement. A form of turbo charging just increases the power output. Sure you can take a 350 and turbo charge that, but you can also take a small four cylinder which weights probably 1/3 the weight and make over 400hp and up. Then you can put that motor in a lotus, or s2000. keeping the weight down and the weight ratio close to 50/50. Instead of having a nose heaving chevy. Sometimes bigger isnt better. theres a reason champ cars use. turbocharged 2.6 liter v-8 motors instead of a turbocharged 5.8 liter v-8.
all that power is useless....can't even come close to hooking

I understand his point (whoever it was, I'm confused now...). Yeah, you can turbo a 1.8, but if you turbo a 2.3 you'll get more power, and hell yeah, twin turbo a 351 and you'll have even more. Its the same thing as saying not to use a small displacement NA engine because more cubes is where its at. Problem with that is most people have to work with what they got, and if the car came with a 1.8, a 351TT most likely wont fit!
Who ever said theres no point in putting a turbo on anything bellow a 2.0 liter is real dumb! I would put a turbo on my weed wacker if I had the money to waste.
Oh sorry saleen 351. I didnt read your entire post. Sorry.... Your not the naive one!
Hey man I love turbo cars ,I grew up with 89 Turbo tas thats all i ever drove....Every mustang I spanked was like"Thats not a six cylinder"So I'd pop the hood and show them the six with a huge turbo!I love turbos and I would take one anyday over a supercharger. You make more power without taking any from the motor.My turbo ta's run 11's with ease.Turbos all the way!!!!!!!!

AHHAHAH this is great stuff "k...only one "honda" came with the 1.8 liter (integra)...most others are using a 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.2, or the 2.3 so, Joe, you're an idiot." now thats just straight up funny and true at the same time for this reason

by the way this is america we have pride in american muscle cars.. and thats what mustangs are obviously.. i mean ricers.. okay so wat the might have some decent looking rides some nice hook ups ok i'll give ya that... but i'd much much much rather have a mustang or saleen then any other car on the market.. heres a funnny one "So, let me get this straight, Your Honda has 1.6 liters, whereas my bottle of mountain dew has 2?" lol that one cracks me up
