yes i like the supercharger, but what power gains are you talking about on a stock b16? Whats prices of used kits compared to used turbo kits?

i know turbos go anywhre from 200 to 600+ HP depending on size, but something that spools quick with decent power (maybe T3/T4 size).

supercharger is going to be less of a hassle period.

turbo is can be better in almost every aspect of a supercharger but requires more maintenance(basically tuning wise, i wouldnt say alot more then a supercharger though).

u need to do ur research. i would got turbo though for to many reasons.

My current car is a Civic with a blown B20. (the SC was for a B16, does that count?)

Anyway, the blower is a Vortec shaft drive. It drives very well with tons of torque. Dyno showed 150 LB FT at 2250 RPM. and 172 max with 196 hp on a stock B20.

The car drives like a stock Civic other than the low geared Type R tranny.

A pic for those who care.
