97 GSR 60k - turbo or supercharge
I don't have a lot of money to be putting into the car. So for a reliable daily driver should I super charge or turbo charge.
I've heard boost and boost, which seems logical. Just seems like turboing is an endless money pit. I'm going to have to run stock internals. Has to be reailable, cannot afford a break down.
How much boost are you b18c people using on stock internals?

Turbo, the superhargers available for our engines put way too much stress on the stock internals for them to last without problems or loss of power after like 30-35,000 miles. That and you can get way more power from a turbo.

TURBO TURBO BLURBO
While true you will make more power with turbo, what comes with it is more tidy up work here and there. This is very easy to do with a turbo.
A supercharger is less everyday work, BUT, when that belt starts slipping, it's a bitch to change out.
You're a great canidate for a GReddy turbo system. Perfect fitment, easy install, low work load. Add Hondata, and you're set. Hell, even if you go against my wise wisdom (of one person who used to sing the praise of s/c to everyone), even with the s/c go Hondata. It ties up every f/i setup together.

superchargers do not put way to much stress or anything people run 9-10 psi daily drivers easy. and the belts only take 20 minutes-40 minutes to change out dpeending on how familiar u are with it.
