Well, I'd say turbo for a few reasons: It's more efficient than the supercharger. I believe the roots style is 50%-ish whereas the turbo is in the mid 70s. This is important since the hotter the intake charge, the less dense it is=less power. Also, higher temperatures can bring about detonation. Secondly, the horsepower gain you get from a turbo will be safer than the equivalent nitrous shot. If you install and tune a turbo right you can still expect about 90% of the engine life. Lastly, I personally just like the design of a turbo and love that well known sound of the bov.
So, if your motor is in good shape, I'd go turbo. If not, perhaps do a swap for a newer one (or an H22) or rebuild the internals?

I voted N/A because I think with some added bolt-on's my V6 should do just fine.
If you didn't know, I had a 1990 Toyota Tercel before I got my car, so it is WAY faster, better handling and better looking than my Tercel-from-Hell.
Besides, with rising gas prices, I want to keep the best MPG as possible.
Now if money was no problem, and gas was cheap, I'd probably would go with a Comptech S/C.

plus theyre quieter too. having the motor i have i chose NA. but i can go either way still with the mods i have, and as gas prices go up, my ambitions for making it faster go down. i would still like a tune though.

Man. Talk about bringing back an old thread... lmao.
When I originally got my car, I was all about an H22 swap. And then after I joined this forum and got to thinking about it and armed myself with more info, I decided I wanted to rebuild and turbo my F22B. But lately I have been thinking about the best of both worlds, rebuilding an H22 specifically for turbo... Whatever, eventually this car WILL have a turbo lol.

Since my car has to many miles the turbo and supercharger are out of question. I would most likly go with h22 and keep my main bolt ons.

Too many miles? Thats crazy talk. Just a little bit of refreshing for your engine, and its good to go for turbo.

i agree, my engine has 112,000miles and today i started working on the turbo (one of the manifold's bolts broke on the inside of the engine, can't get it out!)

Your right it is crazy talk, The motor is in great shape actally. One thing it does need is a valve adjustment job. Other wise that baby is still kicking. PLus if i turboed to about 9psi. I could take on my bothers CLK320 no prb.
