You are always going to have a more reliable set up going N/A, but turbo is so much more fun. ^_^ can't speak about a super charger though. I would assume that they would be reliable than a turbo kit, but you can't go wrong with N/A if you just want a reliable car. G/L

For a street car I would go with bolt ons and a good tune. I ran a 13.6 on that setup. Now that im getting ready to stop daily driving my car im going to look into a supercharged k24 setup. Im not out there to be the fastest i just want a fun weekend warrior that's not about to explode lol

supercharger has some reliability because the comptech supercharger kit could be installed and warrantied by Honda if installed by them. only thing about superchargers they need rebuilt after 60k or so. best reliable route would be to drop a stock k24 with a type S a2 or z1 head with a cam and kpro. you could def squeeze over 220hp out of that with plenty of tq. as u see im running real low 14's on a stock k20z1 motor with bolt on's and street tires. with slicks i would definitely be in the 13's
