V8 Or Turbo Cars? Do You Think V8's Are The Ultimate Power House?

[Mayuri Krab]

Im with you on this one

or one of these would be nice

B-E-A-utiful

Also was that an auto gear box being used? So even I can drive it with only a C-A license

[burkill]

Why draw the line at only V8's vs turbo cars ? Why not include V12's , rotaries, Diesels....Hell why not include a Jet engine as well........Really mate what is the point of this thread ?

its just like arguing Religion or Politics

There is no right or wrong - only personal preference

what about vtec motors?

[Killa_33]

Both types of engine have aspects that shit me, but I think a V8 turbo would be my choice something torquey to kick in before the boost through the top end

This is why the Typoons are good cars, torquey large capacity 6 + turbo

yeah for sure Dan mad combo

[Killa_33]

oh yeah, and fark that v8/turbo debate poo, honestly i've heard this argument so many times its annoying. both applications are effective in what they do.

ok dude ino that's been done to death but the main debate was that my cousin was sayin that turbo's have/make fake power compared to a v8, wats ur reply to that? is there any truth behind this?

[noisia]

tell your cousin he's talking out of his ass, wtf does fake power mean??

whats he trying to say? 300rwkw out of a turbo motor is fake compared to 300rwkw out of a NA v8??? dyno's dont lie, 300rwkw is 300rwkw.

he probably thinks just because a v8 sounds like its "making a whole" 300rwkw then a "hissing" jap motor mustn't be because it doesnt sound like it is.

mate all i can put it down too is ignorance of your cousin, he's one sided, always will be, because he's never known any better

be the better man and say to him "yeah v8's are decent" (coz they are) "but jap engines are also good and thats what floats my boat"

in my opinion im glad he's into 8's, one less dickhead to give us a bad name. lol (in all respect)

couldnt have said it better if i said it myself.

man i cant stand these debates, and wat i even hate more is the arrogance and ignorance of the common V8 driver.

i like V8s aswell but id take an SR or RB anyday, shit id even consider a CA ova a V8 these days LOL

[sneakey pete]

Is there actually any power serious benifit from arrangement of cylinders? I mean, is a 4L V8 magically going to make more power than a 4L v6?

[Johnny]

Morpheus: what is real? how do you define real?

Neo: A v8 is real, ill take the blue pill

Anyways, this fake debate; what about breast implants? they are real.....well technically they take up space and time, they feel great n look great and if they fell down in a forest they's make a sound lolz.

Weird comment from me, well so is the whole v8/turbo real/fake power lolz.

The v8 should theoretically rev better due to smaller/lighter reciprocating components.

Were you banned from boost cruising?

Yeah well he use to have a vlt back in the day, I love both v8's and turbo's at the start I hated turbo's but in time they grew on me and now I couldn't live without 1 lol, spose his point is with a turbo it's fake cos u got a turbo bolted on where with an 8 it's pure power and hp, doesn't realise how tuff the jap cars are anyway i'm over it lol long live the nissans especially skylines!!

I think you should both check out ;

The only true power is NINJA . everything else is fake.

This thread is sooo cool I saw a ninja totally flip out and kill twenty moderators !!!

I feel like my brain capacity and IQ has just increased by 200% by reading this thread. I have never been so enlightened by internet wisdom before.

Let's not forget the ignorance/arrogance of the common turbo driver...both sides have their f***ing morons who seem to think that their particular application is better than the other.

[PM-R33]

A dickhead is still a dickhead no matter what he drives...

[89CAL]

eh this debate will go on forever....

V8s are cool, I like turbo's just cause i like the feeling of hitting boost and I've always had an RB and just enjoy the way the whole setup of them is.

Theres those on both sides that will sit there and go 'this is better then that' but nether are better. you have to go to an individual engine setup. E.G. My engine setup vs a VL 5 litre holden motor.... mine is probably better yes. My engine vs a lamborghini V8, probably not better

The only way to say which is better is to put them to the test but like i said you cant group all V8s vs all Turbos. If you know wat i mean...

[Birds]

Can't even make that comparison 89CAL, not without specifying the variables that determine "better". Are we talking fuel economy or power or torque or what? Are the engines stock or modified? You need to be very, very specific when comparing engines - pretty much to the point where there's no point comparing them because it will come down to one being more suitable for the purpose it was designed for. This is where things get tricky and threads like this are just one great big moot point.

[sneakey pete]

Better power doesn't mean a faster car, it all depends on the weight. Heck, i imagine the engies out of some of those huge luxury sedans are pretty dam beefy, but the car itself might not be fast around a track.

[SL33K]

but the guy may have just come here to ask for support.

Maybe he just wanted some Skyline Australia support.

[bozodos]

this thread is the reason why I don't even waste my breath trying to talk to either bogans or one eyed import lovers about cars.

ps rev[200] your links aren't funny, ninjas and maddox are f**king gay like chuck norris jokes, welcome to faggotry from 5 years ago.

[mad082]

pfft, they both suck. can't beat a v12 for both power and noise.
