Jackson Racing Supercharger on a d16y8 yielded 146WHP..

Turbo is the way to go on Hondas.

that's peak HP though.
Don't superchargers really do their stuff at the low-mid range of the power band?

but the jrsc is more reliable than a turbo and i think it would be a little cheaper to go this way because you can find them for around $850 and there isnt as much hastle as with a turbo

Depends on if the turbo is an ebay special or not. Volvo and Mitsubishi turbochargers can last a very long time.

The gains of a blower on a 1.6 or even a 2.0 is not gonna justify the pricetag. The Cobalt SS and TRD blower for the VVT-i Toyota's are not very impressive, a GSR Civic will hang, if not walk away from them. Home made turbo kits can be made for around that same price, and depending on how in depth you go.

yeah, that's the main pupose of a supercharger....but the fact is that if you do your research and don't get an oversized turbo, then you can direct it towards more low-end power. If you ask me, that's more practical for daily driving purposes.
