I just bought an 03 Accord with 32K miles on it and I absolutely LOVE IT!!

For now I am noy going to mod it at all since it is under waranty.

However when the waranty runs out I would like to start doing some mods.

I plan to start with I/H/E but would like to go with a supercharger someday...

I would rather go SC than turbo for my own reasons, and don't plan to too overboard with mods as this is a daily driver and always will be.

So does anyone out there make an SC kits? Anyone using one??

I have searched around but haven't seen anything...

 

good luck finding parts.

 

I think Ive seen Comptech making superchargers for K24A, correct me if im wrong

 

why not just turbo charge it instead of supercharging it?

 

I've turbo'd my car, and I have a custom kpro harness made by a guy in Seattle as well. Wasn't cheap, but I did it with good parts so it works great. Just got the car back last wednesday and it runs great, only on 3psi now so I can get used to the clutch and turbo, retuning it next saturday. Although if you do turbo you should look into an lsd, even at 3psi in first gear if I get on it at all I instantly loose traction (even with summer performance tires).

This car is my daily driver, and always will be, hence why I do not plan on building the engine or taking it above a 8psi. One of my friends with a 7th gen sedan and I'm sure others are waiting for the new redshift supercharger kit that runs at 5-6 psi, and is a bit less expensive.

I/H/E and a set of pulleys springs and stuff like that is fine, but when all of that is said and done, you've spent almost as much as you would on a turbo, so think wisely before you start making decisions. FYI the kpro and harness is $1300.

 

nitrous is always an option.

How is nitrous an option for that?

Exactly!!

Honestly the reason I would rather stay SC rather than turbo is less clutter, and ancillary requirements...

No oil lines, no drilling the pan, plus I dont like the idea of having a turbo that close to the firewall... SC is a little simpler, and more practical for a DD... no wastegate/echaust issues either...

An SC is more bolt on and go... I know I am over simplifying it. but thats the way I feel...

It will be a couple years before I get serious about this stuff anyway, since I have over 18 months of waranty left.

LSD id also a good point. I will likely do a nice clutch setup while I'm in the area too...

 

i would go with a custom turbo set up the power gains are well worth it daily driven or not, and if you have a good engine mangement then you shouldn't have to worry about anything, i ran 10psi daily on my h22accord and raced on the weekends when i could @ 15psi,
