if u want a slugish family car to do the shopping or take the kids to school buy an n/a y would u waste money on 1 and then get beatn at the lights by a magna.they are not performance engines and not worth doing up.they are however good for boat anchors or recycled metal.

N/A simply has more crown on the pistons, N/A profile Cam & Different Oil Pump Other than that... guess what?? they're the same engine.... Also that a certain n/a rb30 made more KW than the VLT lol....

theyre for people who cant afford a turbo or p platers.your sayn n/a,s are good cuz theyre reliable so are nissan pulsars and a lot of other low performance cars with performance things are bound to brake if u double the hp of a standard car then everything has to work twice as hard therefore u get probs so stop tryn to sayn n/as are better cuz there not. the only n/a i have heard of running good times had low diff gears and had noz he was running good times but had to change his engine after a cupla runs these were standard na engines.n vl tomma if u think its worth doin up an na y have u written i need some boost.

Difference is that when they pop the bonnet they find it a lot harder to pick things on a cammed 8 or 6, than a car with a turbo. You know technically they cant 'pop your bonnet' without your permission. Seeing as it is YOUR property and they ask YOU to open the bonnet. Disconnect the main bonnet release cable and re route it to a new location. Never open your bonnet for a cop again. Tell them its broken and you have to get it taken to get latch repaired. Works a treat everytime. Used to do it in the supra. They cant do ****.

VLTs are hardly anything inspiring, unless they're modified. Even then they're still a family car, with a Turbo. Now I'm not going to sit here, and say N/As are better, but some of you VLT fellas need to get your hands off it. At the end of the day a N/A VL is still practically the same as a VLT. Only difference is the obvious. They are alot better than 202 VB-VKs. Ah who am I kidding? I'm looking at buying a ED XR6. It'll destroy a N/A VL, and VLT in stock form anyway. hehehehe sounds like u belong in a ford Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I hate N/A's. I can almost fall asleep just driving mine waiting for the revs to come up. Go in even a fairly stock VLT or turboed car and you will realise lol. It doesnt take much.

I've been growing a strong appreciation for Ford 6s the last 3 years or so. Anyway yes I have been in fast cars, but it's also harsh to say N/As are a waste of a RB. I haven't modified my N/A 5 speed, because I'm simply not interested in doing so. It has enough power to have fun in. YOU ARE A RETARD Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
