NA or Turbo?

NA will cost nothing, your engine is already NA...if you're considering a high output NA motor, aka "All Motor", you're looking at a high compression engine build...cost would be the same as any fully built block, but you'd make less power than just turbocharging a stock 4G94 block...so there's my answer...
if you want 500hp you've got the wrong car...I'm making close to 300whp, and with front wheel drive, I have MAJOR traction problems...

Yeah? I'm really wanting to tune the car for corner driving, since I'm still fairly new to the scene I'm wondering if a bit lower whp would allow me to continue hauling through the corners without too much traction loss :P would this be feasible in that sense?

Turbo is best but since you live in California I can see why you're trying to stay NA. I say if you want more power out of the 4g94 go turbo or don't bother. It's not worth trying to squeeze horsepower out of it NA. I know it's something you don't want to hear but we're trying to get you the best bang for your buck.... Or save you a bunch of money.

If you want "corner driving" performance, which is the same as my plans, all about that 0-60 instead of drag racing stuff, more for "showing off" on streets while driving from A to B work and school....you want to build for low end torque, not high rpm horsepower. I always think that turbo (especially aftermarket turbo) is not a good idea for a daily driver, because at first it might be more cost effective, but for every piece of the turbo setup is another thing that can go wrong and take your car off the road. Turbo builds are cheap at first, but build up the repair costs. Just my .02

how exactly do you build for low end torque? you're talking about stroking the motor...
and for the record, $50 14b turbo at 6psi...how's that for low end torque

So what I've gathered over the last few weeks is that low end torque is better for the cornering, my best bet is a turbo (Cranswick's dyno chart looked amazing) and since i'm in CA going turbo is gonna be fun lol What would be my better options when looking for turbos for the 4g94?

I totally just realized you wrote $50. my bad xP
I hope installation of the turbo isn't too much of a pain in the *** though.
How long has it taken you guys to install turbo's before? (if you have installed one.) :P

Also, based on what I have gathered, you may be looking at spending about $3000 for a turbo fully installed. I believe Cranswick was able to get his done for around $2000 if I'm not mistaken.

I would love to be able to turbo my car for that amount when I'm ready but most of us are not as mechanically inclined.
