i really want a supercharger for my car. but i cant find one. are there ever going to be one for an 01 ex? or the 1.7

 

You might have to make your own.

 

Yeah no one has any intentions of making a SC for the EPs.

 

I forgot to tell you.. last time I was on the phone with Keith from Jackson Racing, I asked him about your motor and he said that they have no intention of putting out a SC for the 1.7 and to tell you "sorry."

I kid you not.

Sell your motor, swap in a Y8 and fire it up.

 

swap a K20 in there

 

Swap in a K20A3(160hp civic si engine)

Great engine for boost plus alot more aftermarket support. I said it once and will repeat it here. The D17's are far from ideal to even try and extract power from. The bottom ends suck compared to even a D16/15 engine. The rod stroke ratio is crappy and will not let it rev high and no single cam 1.6/1.7 engine is going to be ideal to extract power from the low end. I am sure that you could buy a sc kit for a B series and fab it up to work but it would not be worth it because you would be in it cost wise as much as you would be into a K20A3 swap and still have around the same power without the ability to expand on it.

I am a avid D series fan but this is one engine I will never even attempt to build simply because you are digging yourself out of a hole to begin with.

 

isnt the A2 rated at 200hp? and the A at 220?

 

A = 220
A2 = 200
A3 = 160

oh yea and

K20Z = 197 but has been dyno's at around that to the wheels(new civic si)

 

yeah, and it actually was made to make the same 200 as the a2, but the government changed the laws at the last minute of testing, and all new cars have to be rated for hp with the power steering hooked up, so thats where it lost the 3hp.

 

Seriously, Sac, where do you get all of that info?
