speaking of which, how did that t25 feel on the gsr? did it give out in third? thats what i usually hear, but 12.8 sounds pretty strong for a t25. was it stock, or did you clip it or something?

Superchargers are DEFINITELY the best. Turbo chargers make your car completely unreliable. In my opinion

Explain your reasoning for how turbochargers make your car any less reliable than superchargers... if you know what you're doing, it'll be just as reliable as stock.

I would reccomend the jackson racing supercharger because they put out numbers on the dyno and are very dependable and not to tempermental as long as u have the intercooler,because the weather is killer where i live in phx az. whole kit to ur door w/o intercooler is $2400 bucks from nopi.com

I noticed that that kit also doesnt come with any necessary piping, etc. It's just the supercharger. I found a turbo kit for $3000 on horsepowerfreaks.com that does 250 hp on a stock D series, and up to 400 hp on a built D series. And that includes everything you need to install it, AND an intercooler.

piping? its a positive displacment blower. It bolts directly to the block and the stock/aftermarket intake bolts directly to it, there is no piping needed. I think you're referring to a centrifugal type S/C which isnt used for the honda motors.

As for the turbo set up you found... 250 is going to require some stronger internals on a D series, and an intercooler is a must in any turbo setup, haha

Its called a blow off valve and can be done on a supercharger too.

Haha, I dont know if that motor still runs now-a-days. As for giving out in third... I never had that problem. It was far from stock, it was totally reliable, never had any engine problems, but I always had that feeling like it was going to give out any day... never did though. great little car.
