Autocross : Turbo and NA

[alien]

how would a turbocharge car perform in an autocross compared to a non turbocharged one, with the same size and class..

would the extra torque be an advantage for the turbocharged car?
turbo lag?
and if there were minimal turbo lag?

or would a turbocharged car be a bit more 'harder' to manouvere?
when the turbo juz kick in in a middle of a turn?

 

[MRMIC2]

use very light or small turbines.Ball bearing turbos will help.
If u use a big turbo chances are you might not even use it on boost through out the race. :)
Turbos will definately help on the straights but a definate no-no on the corners.

for me i still prefer light engines with instant throttle respond (like carbs)

Ahmelicans used to say horsepower sells cars, torque wins races. In recent R3TA2dot6, starlet turbo has triumphed over ek9 over a tight course.

 

[thteh86]

both ek9 and the starlet turbo are good drivers....

That would be a good choice.

 

[tryforce]

i prefer NA more than turbo in SSO. But also depends what class u join. If the sifu EK9 2.0 can exchange with my starlet i will be very happy :_:

[alien]

with the amount of corners and turns..
the conclusion is a NA is the most prefered choice?
MRMIC, the mr2's a 3sgte or an NA version..?

3sgte is turbo.
NA or turbo...u need a very quick response engine,light car ,grippy tires and maybe less grip on rear for certain tracks.Most of all...drumroll ****** is the Driver!. a person can have a good car but cant go fast (like me).and some drivers can win in any cars..like Ian.So do come and join us to learn.
