you can do it
but for what your going to spend on a good SC setup you can throw a gsr motor in there and make comparable power, if not more. then you have a MUCH better base to mod

Have you seen the dyno for the Jackson SC? You gain 30hp.

I debated the SAME thing in my old 1992 Si hatch. I got the GS-R swap and was sop happy because I beat the **** out of the supercharged SOHC motors I ran every time.

Not being a bitch - trying to help really.

With a swap you get:

LESS miles
BETTER geared tranny that can take a LOT more abuse
STOCK more power than supercharged SOHC VTEC (150+ B18C1 vs. 138 for blown SOHC)
Ability to really haul *** by using power adders on the DOHC later on

Sorry man, but you'll need a DOHC just to run with most of the true Honda folks these days.
