Icon6 B18C1 650+ WHP Goal!

Hi I'm new to the import world just got my first honda. its a 94 del sol NONvtec. My goal is to get 650+ WHP
I was wondering if anyone could help with a centrifugal supercharger build for my B18C1 engine. i have done alot of digging and found that Vortech is my best bet for this build for forced induction but have no clue on suspension, tranny, or what i would need to do to make my engine not blow up on me.

no just 1 just looking at the specs of the V-9 series G-trim makes 600 HP @ 14lbs of boost alone

it would be a easier goal if you turboed the car my opinion people have made good numbers with sc honda tho
why do you say b18c1 in your post then say non-vtec in desription

i have alot of friends with turbos and superchargers but only one who actually went centrifugal and he completely dusts everyone and is running only 9psi of boost where as the turbos are running @ 12psi just the lag kills them

Seeing/reading something is one thing.

Doing it yourself is another.

Good luck on your power goals though

I agree with cleansi to go for a turbo instead.

the same.
but its just not realistic to drive a 650 whp honda on the streets.... the track with slicks all day long.
i hope your prepared to spend every penny. maybe even more.
your looking at sleeves, pistons,rods, possibly a crank shaft, head work cams, springs, retainers. intake manifold, and probly a 4-5k turbo kit, inless you make your own, then you have to build the tranny, clutch.. then suspension to hold all that power, and brakes to stop it all,
oh a dont forget your most likely going to be putting over 1500 into a ecu and tune,

your goal is not all the unreacheable it just will be difficult.
my gf brother has a 680whp integra and hes got around 20-25k tied up in the whole car.
buts its capable of higher but he keeps having clutch issues and spining on the dyno
