Default My motor turbo or supercharger ?

K i've be going back and forth wether to go all motor or forced induction. I'm not looking for massive hp or something that runs 10's. This car is a daily driver and need something somewhat realible. I kno there is no guarantee with any honda but i need some info. I kno that putting 2k into turbo vs all motor turbo will more powerful. I was also thinkin bout a supercharger only because u have to rebuild your turbo like every two years or so right? The car is a 95 del sol si with a full jdm b16 swap. I would like to keep my a/c and ps but dont kno if its possible, i would also like something about 220 hp around there maybe a lil more or less... what do u think i would appreciate it if only people that have delt with forced induction themselves would post and not oh my friend has this or that thanks for your info in advance....

Turbo is the way to go and with a good tune it can be very reliable. You should be able to hit ~200whp easily and keep AC as long as you run a AC compatible log manifold.

BTW why are you boosting your del sol if your selling it ?

Theres pros and cons to either choice. You have to decide which one fits you best. Im lookin to get a supercharger for my car in the early part of next year, only because its gona cost me about 2k and i can do the install myself, and i love the way they sound Just do research and figure out which one fits your needs the best
