Regardless, forced induction does generally give more power on a specific motor, than a version of the motor without forced induction, but the extra power usually comes at the expense of added cost, complexity, weight, heat, engine stress, and reduced longevity. I love winding up a balanced, high-revving motor and hearing it scream(my neighbor's Integra Type R  )...although that doesn't really seem to be the characteristic of the FR-S motor. |
i figured that was the case but even if we examine the flip side of the coin, a turbo engine is likely to be smaller, lighter and often more efficient than a larger displacement motor to rival its power.
im not saying that this car should be turboed. im just saying that there is alot of hate for the stuff because its not pure or whatever and it seems like people are still talking about it like its the early 90s and you could make the same amount of power with n/a as you can with fi...sad to say but in todays market, things like itbs are stupid
