And who bumps this thread to say turbos own superchargers with nothing else to say, probably has never driven either one. Just a bandwagoner. _____________________________ -brian (in reply to Basil) Post #: 52

I had a Mini Cooper S for a while (total crap heap) and loved the SC whine. But I havent seen any data for the K20 and SC applications. I have seen claims by turbo companies (TSI Greddy) that thier turbo kits bump it to 280 HP, dunno the whp. Any ideas? (in reply to Mr Mobsta Man) Post #: 55

Seems like a somewhat simple installation, or at least a time consuming installation. I have a stock D15B7 with an auto transmission. Anyway, for those who have installed it, did you add anything else? MSI ignition stuff? New wires? Fuel rail? Fuel pump? Exhaust system? Anything you would stay away from? (other than a good old-fashioned APC windshield sticker) I see there are various water spraying kits out there. Anyone install one with a JRSC? Just curious. How often are you filling up the water resevoir? What do you put into the water resevoir (tap water, distilled water, windshield washer fluid)? (in reply to Luckycapone) Post #: 57

The size of the pump, injectors and exhaust diamter depends on the PSI and how much power you are making.  _____________________________ (in reply to rit14623) Post #: 58

RE: Turbo VS Supercharger; My Experiences - 1/17/2008 6:06:31 PM    gomorig   Posts: 5 Joined: 11/13/2007 Status: offline i have an 05 civic lx coupe with a 1.7L 16V SOHC D17A1 stock. its an automatic too (*sigh i know*).  i dont want to really spend 1000+ to prep the internals and other stuff for a high powered turbo or supercharger.  i was looking at the TSI D series turbo kit with the Garrett GT25 (or GT25R ball bearing upgrade) for it and it claims to be safe on stock internals. would it be safe cuz reliability is high priority for me.  it also mentions that the catalytic converter is lost with this kit, whats up with that? are there any superchargers out there, or other turbos for that matter, that would work for me? i could only find SI superchargers... < Message edited by gomorig -- 1/17/2008 6:11:46 PM > (in reply to FlipHKD720) Post #: 59

I want to go turbo when I have the money, but the thing i love about the civic is i put $10 maybe 15 a week for all city.  (in reply to SovXietday) Post #: 60
