Every N/A guy wants to turbo :) As of right now, all I'm trying to do is research N/As so I can give tips on cost efficient modifications that will make the car more enjoyable.

I'm just trying to find out whether N/A owners hate their cars as much as turbo guys hate N/As :)

Topic :) Why do you stay N/A, or why are you N/A? Do you just have it cause it's your first car? Do you actually like it? Do you feel it saves you money? Do you play on staying N/A? I'm just bored and curious to see what everyone's outlook on us is. I'm pretty sure most people hate N/As...

I remember reading some article about how 5Ms have better low end due to larger valves, but run out at higher rpms due to less amount of valves. It had to do with inertia and velocity and stuff, but I don't feel like explaining what I read. Plus, it's all theory anyways.

Rebuild it/do maintenance, and enjoy driving it? Or you can just swap a turbo engine into it..

The car is heavy, but other than that, there's a number of reasons. Different drivers and of course, the fact that you probably have a worn out engine that will easily put out less power than it should.

I think I remember talking to Tanya about this, and IIRC, she said the 7M head > 5M head in flow. JDM motors are hit and miss, mine definitely was, but good luck with yours.

Ouch :D

How much did they cost you? I'm guessing under 400?

You should post up a build thread in the Gallery/Build section :)

Yeah, I agree. Turbo is easier. It's his choice though.

If 1st gen = SA, that means you call it by the first two letters in it's code name, which would make the "FE" an "SE" :) Oh well. No point in debating it, haha.

There's more involved than that...but then again, there's more involved than shoving an S/C in the car too.

And there were some discussion threads I linked you to that had some information on people's experiences...BLACKCAT being one of them. I think he gained 15 RWHP from installing them?

I just assumed that you call them by the codes they were given. FD3S shortens down to FD, FC3S shortens down to FC, and as for those older ones, I know one of them had the code of SA22 but I don't really know what you guys call them. Oh well. I was just curious.

I'm pretty sure they aren't called FEs. The code is SE3P IIRC? :) And yeah, RX8s are pretty underpowered. 207 Horsepower, not so broad powerband. They're more handling oriented if anything

I can't really tell if this is sarcasm :( Anyways, I really did find good stuff. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56763&highlight=brian+crower http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59557&highlight=brian+crower

Copied directly from the search sticky in the introduction section, and from the link I have in the N/A Upgrade FAQ..... I typed in Brian Crower and limited the search to the 7MGE forums and got results that would easily help you.

46 trim.

What type of aftermarket radiator caps do we use? N or S type? (this is the sizing applies to GReddy and HKS type stuff). I think MK2 ones are larger than the MK3 ones, which is why I'm asking. Reason I ask is because my cousin who has an MK2 supra is wondering about it, so any MK2 guys can...
