How goes?
I'm new around here and glad to be with the forum. I have a 99 Civic SI, not much done so far just CAI and high flow muffler.
Has any one heard of the electronic Supercharger? if so do you know if it is any good?

Hi,

Those 12v electronic superchargers you see on ebay suck *** and only restrict air flow. No, electronic superchargers do not work, none are good.

Also, welcome to the forums, if you're going to post pictures of your car please do so in the appearance and cosmetics forum.

You'll spend $5000 making your Si as fast without turbo as a turboed Si owner who only spent $1500.

Save your money and buy something worthwhile.

Intake/headers/etc aren't worth much on 1.6L of displacement. If you love your hailed b16, get some good cams/valvetrain and a good tune, you'll be "peppy" then.

If you decide for an n/a build, get some ITR/ctr cams or some good aftermarket ones.

One of the buddy club cam/cam gear setups claims to get 190+ whp on a stock block. Though those are all $1200+ if I remember. I read an article about it.
