Supercharging a B16A2 - what and why?
Hi guys,
I am form England where the Honda scene is just starting to take off, and have had a '99 Civic VTi (SiR) for you i think, for about 12 months now. My Dad owns an Integra Type-R, and I want to make mine faster. I have sorted the interior, in dash screen/t.v. Playstation 2, Integra Recaros,(black) custom retrim to match the fronts with door cards and back seats in black alcantara with red stitching. I am running 17's on 3'' lower with R1 coilover springs from the states, but I WANT A SUPERCHARGER. I have read good reviews, but with mixed power gains. What would people recomend, and what sort of power increase should i expect, any times etc. I will post pics soon, but please people help me to finish my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Matt

DragIIcivic what ever happened to your SOHC? Did it blow up, or are you just getting a swap to get a swap?
Oh, and to the original question, You can make more power in the long run and do more with a turbo setup. But on the other hand it is also easier to get carried away with the boost on a turbo setup.
Axis Sport Tuning put a supercharger on an Si back in January this I believe. Internally they installed a block guard, and they had all the usual bolt-ons, exhaust, intake, header, and cam gears. They also installed an upgraded fuel pump and A'PEXi AFC. That car ran 14.6 @ 98.2 in the 1/4. I'm assuming this was with the stock 6 psi pulley?? I think it is 6 psi right?

I didn't exactly blow it....I killed the headgasket, and rings (too much boost at the track) I felt it was time to upgrade rather than pour more $$ into the sohc.
BTW 14.6 for a FI B16 sucks....thats why I vote for turbo
