Default Turbo Charger vs Super Charger

I notice lookin across your froum (which i must admit is a lot more intresting than forums we have in england) that a lot of you accord drivers have turbos do any of you have super chargers because i recently aquired one from an areoplane (Don't laugh) and i am thinkin of putting it on my accord

Does any one have a Super Charged haonda accord or have any pictures or a\ny info on any or wher i could get bits for the set up

Cheers

No I dont believe there are any superchargers for the accord. Only supercharger you will see in an accord is on an h22 with modifications to the firewall to get it to fit. However, its costly and not worth it since turbos are easier to get it to fit.

Is it even going to fit? Can you modify it? Do you have all the pulleys and belts necessary to make it work?

Most of the accords with superchargers are v6's. BUT you can get a jr one for the 97 up h22 and get hondata for a obd1 car and make it work. BUT why, when you can go turbo!!

haha yea i was bout to say comptech makes for sixth gens. Id go turbo. How big is this supercharger you speak of. If too big you might end up losing more power than gaining =D or put the engine under a crap load of stress.

cause the supercahrger is without pulleys i will match the pulleys to make it run the desired speed giving me the performance i want this is a 94 honda accord 4 door salon engine code is z1 if any of you have ever heard of it i belive its an english model as you dont seen to have my model in your country just a revised one which is you 94-97

o and as for supercharger against a turbo u gotta wait for a turbo to kick in but the supercharger is there from the start (dependent on what pulleys you use of course) not saying its better or anything but would suit my expectations more 'instant power'

are super chargers better for traction take off, or turbos? i heard you can't just floor a turbo at a stand still, you have to accelerate lightly then fully after you get traction. something like that, but i'm no expert.

supercharged cars have alot of power down low coming out of the hole and generally are harder to get hooked up on a hard launch... imo.

with a decent size turbo, the lag actually helps you hook initially... of course then you have to worry about breaking loose on top when boost comes in.

yea total fair opinion to all depends on how u drive the car nothing like some smoking tyres unless u racing im building in the aspect of a street car such stuff as launch control is availible to eek in the power smoothly i owned a few different cars even normal aspriated vthat have bin weighing in at under a ton with heavy tourqe figres and the wheels just spin and i get the point of thje lag helps in one way on pull off but its about being different and trying different things and thats my aim just a pitty when im done im all the way over in england will have to bring it to the states to race some of ya lol
