Go with a turbo its a little more expensive but you'll get more HP but if you have an incredably high hp to start witht then get a supercharger I'll give you more power in the long run

 

I guestimate that my car is at around 180BHP as it is 160BHP stock. I've done the mods listed abouve so I reckon I should have added a few horses. I am thinking more of a supercharger as it seems there is less to tinker with? I'll have a read of the links. Thanks guys.

 

Also realize that since the supercharger runs off of belts (energy created by the engine), it actually steals power from the engine. The forced induction, however, makes up for the lost power. But, with a turbo, it uses the exhaust gases (wasted energy) to create the boost, thus having more potential for higher boost/horsepower. I'd also like to add that turbos do not cost more than superchargers.

 

yeah, sc kits are usually quite a bit more expensive than an average turbo kit.

 

OK. So what is a good brand of Turbo for Honda?

 

I know this issue has been brought up before, but with a supercharger, you end up with too much low end torque, making it hard to launch. Sounds like you're on the right track, though (TURBO!!).

 

GREDDY, Turbonetics, Rev Hard, EDELBROCK, etc. etc. etc. (the caps are the best)

Im backing the supercharger. Ive had a turbo civic and now have a supercharged Corolla. Personnally the s/c is just funner to drive. I think its that instant feeling of power. Both are great and you will be happy with either.

 

Cool, I'll have a think and a read of a few pages. Thanks for the help guys. It is appreiated.
