There is always a time to move on mate . Didnt really realise, or perhaps didnt read properly, that that was your reasons. Thought it was more of a cost thing ..

 

You know though, there are plenty of D series turbos that punch well above their weight ;-)

Once you've had boost you'll want more! I've had two turbo charged petrol cars, love them! Not as bad as you think on fuel on a run or steady driving but urban driving will hammer fuel regardless! 

 

200sx are an awesome car, but demand a fair bit of money these days for a good one! 

 

I actually had thoughts about the new Civic Type R yesterday until I saw the expected prices! :o

Only thing you miss with a turb (i found when i had the scoob) is i missed the ability to have power all the way to 8k .. Ragging the tits off of an engine is something only a honda allows..

 

Although an evo VIII with the mivec system is the closest ive come to satisfaction when not in a vtec ..

Yeah with the Cupra R and the 9-5 Aero they'd run out of puff about 1500-1000rpm before redline meaning you were better off changing gear then and not right up! VTEC engines demand you take them to the limiter when you're wanting to get a move on! Also find you can't just floor it in a higher gear if you need a sudden turn of speed because of the lack of torque.

 

It's all down to driving style and what you prefer! If you're on the motorway all the time you'll probably get fed up with it to be fair whereas in a turbo petrol (or diesel) you can just poke the throttle and go.
