SuperCharger????????

[DarkRidgeRacer]

I've been looking at some Superchargers online and I want to know which SC would be good to get for my ride?

[CB7_HONDA]

yep, i have the same question too..
why not go turbo?

[DarkRidgeRacer]

I thought about going turbo but I'd rather have power flowing through at all times then having the turbo spool up between a certain range of rpms

Thats not really good reasoning. A turbo can make the car feel just as fast throughout the power band as a super charger...Thats not to mention how much easier it is.

but, if you have your mind made up, and you really want a supercharger, then you will need to make a 100% custom one. there are no direct fit chargers for the CB chassis

^^^ x2

No company currently makes one for our chassis.

If you do a motor swap thats a different story. It would still have to be custom tho...i remember reading that they made one for the 95 Prelude chassis...that could maybe be fitted but noones dont it thus far.

Be the first

[Accord R33]

the prelude chargers *supposedly* dont clear the accord firewall.

As mentioned custom. You can get the immediate spool time with a smaller turbo like the 14b but it generates so much heat for a lil critter. At least you spool around 2500 or so.

quick accord as one on clubaccordquebec.com

he swapped a H23a1 and made it supercharge with some modifications because some things are in the way to make it perfect fit.

just search for supercharger and you will find how he made it fit.

From the sounds of it, you are NOT ready to do the necesary work to make a supercharger fit. The Jackson Racing unit for the H series can be used with a swap, as mentioned above (with some custom work), and a Procharger can also be used, but again, some fabrication will be necessary. Also, any supercharger you attempt to put on the F22 will require proper tuning. There aren't any supercharged F22 maps floating around, I'm sure!


I wanted to supercharge my H22. I still think it'd be cool. However, after driving my GTP, I can say that the "instant power" isn't really what it may seem. Especailly for a FWD car, putting too much power to the ground immediately is a BAD idea. I can break the wheels loose on my bone stock automatic GTP without even going full throttle or full boost! Turbo is better suited for FWD. The slightly later spool of a well designed turbo system will allow for proper traction at launch and low speeds, and a good transfer of power at higher speeds.

[DarkRidgeRacer]

The only thing I dont know about turboing my ride is, is there enough clearance to put the turbo in between engine and the firwall?

[deevergote]

Why would you put the turbo between the engine and firewall?

he thinks he has a k series You need to take a peek in the FI section.

ok, Look get like a T3 Garret .42 Hotside, make sure it has no play, and that will spool up more than quick enough for what you promise, then after spending maybe 150 ( go to Turbobricks.com and buy a T3 Garret stock Volvo turbo) then go to eather that same forum or a diff. one and buy a T4 Coldside, with compressor wheel and back plate (maybe 200) and you will have a huge turbo that spool UBER quick, that is what i did on my Volvo till a threw a rod at 23 PSI with no oil. But it will be going on my accord that is in my sig this summer.....I promise you will be at partial boost by 2K......its quick enough, plus you can hit higher PSI with a Turbo.....unless they came out with new superchargers....but you can crank like my T4 coldside T3 hotside AKA T3/T4 hybrid to like 25 PSI and not worry about losing PSI.

superchargers also take some of your hp to make hp because they run on a belt. turbos make power, superchargers take power. i was told that you can build 2 exact motors the same except one is turbo and the other is supercharged and the turbo engine will make alot more hp.

[Easycustoms]

The turbo is easier to upgrade.. And you use less gas with turbo. The supercharger is always being belt driven. It all comes down to YOUR opinion. To me its also the application. If i owned another mustang i would supercharge over turbo. Just cuz 1. its cheaper to supercharge a mustang. 2. that wine of a supercharger just fits a mustang :-)
