Default More power in B16A2.. Boost!

I'll try here then

I have a civic B16A2.. Stock 160hp
The thing is that i want about 210-250Hp..
I've been thinking about the JR-supercharger, its a reasonable price, but what is the hp gain?
I've also been thinking about a turbokit.. But I wouldnt wanna change the pistons or rods just yet.. And im not sure if i can drive around with a turbokit on a stock B16A2..?
Maybe in a year or so i might change the pistons, but i dont have a workshop for the time being so a big operation like that has to wait!
What would you recoment me for som hp gain? It must not be too expensive..
Is the Jr supercharger with water injectors a good choice? Or is a turbokit better? Remeber it has to be on a stock engine for the time being.. How much can i boost it?

Turbo for sure B16 can make 280 WHP no problem stock engine and be reliable.

So i dont have to make a change in the compression? But will it not be to high? How much can i boost it?

Can you make me a list of what i need for a complete turbokit!?

280hp sounds of a lot on a stock engine..

Not to be harsh, but do a search. You don't have to drop the compression, boost pressure means very little it how much power you are making that will determine engine wear. 280 whp is very achievable and thats wheel horse power not flywheel like you are talking about.

Goodluck
