I think what you'll receive here is an overwhelming recommendation to consider a proper turbo setup rather than a supercharger, and that would likely be my suggestion as well. This is not to say that a well-done supercharged D16 would be a bad option, though. Before getting into it further, is there any reason in particular that you originally decided on supercharging?

 

i agree with Padawan^...boosting is the way to go. The only reason i'd SC my D is if i find a great deal on it.

Supercharging IS a form of boost, both turbo and super are. Though yes, padawan is saying go turbo.

@ OP:
Superchargers are nice for a naturally aspirated torque curve but on low displacement engines they really don't have good output. Since the Y8's only have 1.6L - you don't make a lot of power with them.

I'm sure with an 8-10lbs pulley you can make a decent amount of HP on a really nice looking torque curve with decent horsepower, but on a 1.6L engine you'll always get more w/ a turbo.

That wasn't exactly what I said, which is partially why I asked what led the original poster to decide on supercharging as the path he wanted to take.

Supercharging does have certain advantages, and as I stated, it's no necessarily a bad option. Turbos are generally more popular because of attributes they offer, but everyone has different goals and preferences for their car.

 

ive done a couple of turbos in a variety of rides. and i just want to test of somthing else.

 

SC'er FTW i used to have a Jacksonracing Supercharger on my D16y8 i had it for almost two years never had any problems with it and it is SMOG legal heres the link http://www.supercharger.com/Sh...33370 it was an auto though i just sold the swap to another HT member and finally had my swap done...
