The reason you've got 12 views and no posts is probably because no one knows wtf you're talking about. Sorry to be blunt - but please elaborate.

Sure, but you got cash?
Would cost more than a turbo kit and make a lot less power and no torque

search on supraforums.com in the Naturally Aspirated Section. He built up his na 2jz Supra and I believe he maxed out at around 350-400 whp. Don't remeber his name, but he wrote up a lot of information about it.

Nothing wrong with all motor. Especially Honda/Acuras. ~230whp on a 2300 hp car is pretty quick. That's over 115whp per liter.

All motor won't work quite as well on our cars, since a bit of torque is needed to push the nearly 3600lbs of car around.

All motor is great on the right application...the SC just isn't one of them. Turbo all the way!

I agree, it wouldn't be too wise to build an all motor SC, unless you're doing it for bragging rights or something of the sort, as MikeFD3S said, all motor is good on certain cars, namely lightweight cars, where low torque would not pose a big problem or big v8 cars that are capable of making very good power (horsepower and torque) all motor, 450hp all motor chevy's come to mind, but its not the best way to build your SC. A turbo wouldn't cost as much, and it would have more potential for more power than an all motor set up. It also depends on what you are aiming for, as in what you want from your car. If its because of reliability of a boosted car, I can't imagine a high compression, probably ITB all motor car to be much more reliable. If it's just to do something different, well then more power to you, I'd love to see what numbers you can push out.
