a recent magazine article compared turbo's and superchargers but they did a
weak job, and basically said it depends on preference, so i thought i'd see
what is YOUR preference on the two (performance, price, etc)??

 

a properly sized turbo will have just as much power down low and way more up top..

 

this is a very stupid question, however TURBO

 

turbo. duhr.

supercharger = hot air + low psi limits

turbo hands down...properly sized to the setup, they're better in almost every way

 

you don't want instant power with FWD.

 

look at all the supercharged hondas... there all weak compaired to a similar turbo setup

and good luck finding any 500whp daily driven supercharged hondas..

 

turbo is the only way to go
1.) it uses wasted heat to make power
2.) does not create parasitic drag
3.) is super efficient with a good intercooler
4.) lag is not a bad thing, in fact I think that's what releases adrenaline in your brain..wait for it...wait for it...whoooshh

 

Both, anything less is just gay:

turbo charge. mainly because of the small displacement of honda engines

 

On a more serious note, comparing turbocharging to supercharging a Honda isn't really fair to superchargers. There are basically two SC kits out there for a B-series, the JR kit and the Vortech kit, while there's hundreds of options for turbos. Who's to say that a big, efficient, high-boost SC like a Whipple W140AX (30 PSI, 98% VE, 80% AE, 1274 CFM) on a B-series wouldn't kick a whole lot of ***?

I wouldn't want a 500whp civic! Theres such thing as to much power for street/daily cars.

This setup actually had some serious problems, it's all apart now getting some new pistons, should be back together in a few weeks. I'm looking to make 325-350 WHP out of it. It'll be 85.5mm though
