What do you plan on doing with your car, any kind of road or autox would be better with s/c, but straight line and an awesome amount of low end power, go turbo

yea i actually have a envelope in my dresser labeled as "Swift Turbo Fund" that imma keep the money in so i can make sure i dont spend it. im just pissed since by the time i save up enough im going to miss on the introductory deal and have to pay full price (which i have no problem doing, but deals always kick ass)

If you race a lot of autox, go s/c.

I don;t really have one of those, I just plan on either getting a loan from my dad (that way I don't have interest ) or getting one from the bank

I'm hoping my dad will give me some kind of reward for keeping my grades up in school. Plus my bday is coming up, kinda, in June and for an awesome bday present he could just take away some of the debt I owe him.

Go turbo *cough*swift*cough*

[RaidenSI]

the problem i see i want reliability and power turbo's make alot of power but aren't as reliable S/C love the sound and are just bolt on and go and are more reliable lol. CT-E gets 300 and is cheaper but for 1000 more i have the possibility for 400WHP decisions decisions...

see the whole sc is more reliable BS is all a matter of the tune, trust me if you get a good tune on a turbo car it can be VERY reliable. Hell Swift said it themselves, they coulda made more power on this kit, but they would have had to sacrifice the ability of a good DD, this kit makes good power and is still ver daily drivable....
IMO i think SC puts more stress on the engine than a turbo....how you ask?? the SC needs the power from the engine to work, therefore robbing power from your engine before making any
while a turbo just uses the exhuast gases that are already there and require no power borrowed from the motor to make power.....

i meant more this could go wrong with turbo like vaccum lines etc popping off i got 2 friends here with greddy kit and both still have problems i just don't want that hassle lol

thats cause its the greddy kit lol, no offese but thats a BIG world wide company that just throws kits together and sells them (im not saying they dont do their R&D cause they do) while swift has openly spent months figuring out what works, hell Swift has put Rogers car to over 600whp and is a very reputable name in the IS300 community. oh and vac lines can pop off just as much on a s/c also

more crank strain ftl. but having one standard tune is pretty golden imo...plus there are much more parts with possibilities of failing or creating issues.

whereas with the sc its plug n go

Exactly, Swift is an incredibly reputable company that has done wonders in the IS300 world. I would trust a Swift Kit way before the Greddy Kit. Not saying that Greddy kit is bad at all, but this Swift kit has been R&D'd extremely meticulously

yea but with the s/c can you have a power tune (say the 9.5psi) and a economic tune (say 4-5psi and get better gas mileage) and be able to swicth at the push of a button??

[Civic Pride]

This is a very nice looking kit, if i had an Si i would buy this kit.. and make 400whp and be happy..
