Alright I have done my research but still can't decided which I should go with. Thought I would turn to my fellow honda-tech peers to help me decide. Should I supercharge or turbocharge.

The purpose:
This car will be a daily driver. I love to road race with my car. This includes canyon roads and tracks (like Buttonwillow and Willow Springs). I want to be able to be a "freeway contender." I love being able to break off Corvettes and just any car that snarls at a Honda on the freeway. Drag? Ya of course I am going to drag race this car on the street against friends and such. But this is by far the least of my concerns. I AM NOT trying to break any records but do wish to make around 350-425 crank power. This should be plenty.

The car:
1996 Civic CX Hatchback.
Suspension: long long list
Brakes: 2000 Civic Si conversion
Tranny: JDM ITR. 6puck and HD PP with a 8.7lb flywheel.
Motor: LS/VTEC (81.5mm sleeved) with Weisco 9.3-9.8 and Billet Crower rods. Lightened crankshaft (by 9lbs). Rotating assembly balanced to 14k. PNPed ITR head with full line of Skunk2 head components (stage 1 cams).

Supercharge or Turbocharge?

 

j00 should do everyone a favor and drive off a cliff....preferably away from civilization.

 

and why should i do that. its an honest quesiton. some say super because of instant power out of the turns and some are saying turbo for more tunable and more top end

so much for a helpful community.

 

because it's just a matter of time before you injure/kill someone by racing on the streets...

 

hurt someone by drag racing? or canyon racing? well shouldn't call it canyon 'racing'. I love going out to canyon 'cruise' like Decker road. Im smart enough to know those cliffs aren't predijuce. On a scale of 1-10 probably drive canyon roads at 5-7. Tracks are different. You know everything going on around you. There you can drive 9-10.

 

ok, mr. freeway-contender....

"Im smart enough to know those cliffs aren't predijuce." I, on the other hand, am not smart enough to know wtf that sentence means.

 

oh ya. freeways. ya you're right i shouldn't do that but i cant resist that ignorant guy that laughs because he spent 30k+ on his car which he cant drive

 

give it up crazy chicken. That dude's gonna do us all a favor and get Darwinized s00n enough. I just hope no one i know is in his way when he does.


tunedek: racing belongs to the track. period.

I'm locking this thread, and you should leave now. Consider this your 1 free get-out-of-banning, do not pass go, do not collect $200 pass. Have a nice day and keep the jackassery off of the streets - its only a matter of time before you hurt yourself or someone else street racing/canyon "cruising".
