I say turbo > supercharger

 

in those dyno charts your turbo was intercooled right... the JRSC doesnt come with an intercooler/heat exchanger so its at a disadvantage right there.


And who bumps this thread to say turbos own superchargers with nothing else to say, probably has never driven either one. Just a bandwagoner.

 

i have driven and owned both.......both d16 engines.......t25 greddy was faster than jsc but jsc more predictable fun power...

 

I'm thinking that you could make the same power or maybe a little more n/a as with a supercharger on our little d seriesand not have to worry about intake temps. What about nitrous with a supercharger? Would that take care of the intake temps, at least while you are spraying?

 

Hey Guys, I'm running an '06 k20 Si and i was looking at Turbo or SC. 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?

 

so what turbo is best suited for a 98 civic?? what is the reccomended turbo for a civic??

 

Total noob here. So, I'm interested in a Jackson Racing super-charger. Seems like a somewhat simple installation, or at least a time consuming installation. I have a stockD15B7 with an auto transmission.
Anyway,for those who have installed it, did you add anything else? MSI ignition stuff? Newwires?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)?

 

supercharger will require bigger injectors, possibly new fuel pump, a larger exhaust system, and some sort of engine management. The size of the pump, injectors and exhaust diamter depends on the PSI and how much power you are making.

 

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 islost 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...

 

On average how much does a turbo kill your mpg? 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.
