just because someone makes a "kit" it doesn't mean its gonna mean that ur car will last...if thats what ur askin. But the fact of the matter is, you have to be somewhat insane to start a project like that anyway...or be made of money, or both

You mean supercharge OR turbo charge? The way you said that makes me think you want to supercharge a turbocharged motor.

you actually can supercharge And turbocharge a motor. a couple of brothers in my neighborhood have an old pontiac with both on it. and i think it was toyota maybe in the 80's did the same thing from the factory...it was called dualcharging or something

ur thinking of twincharging and they make kits for some of the older mr2s but i havent ever seen one for a honda. i honestly dont think it would be that beneficial. but it would be fun to see someone try it...

how's your set up running vet_girl?
-well it's running, lol at 0psi. This spring break I gotta figure out where it's losing pressure and check out the wastegate. It's funny though, even at 0psi , i get a minor blowoff from the BOV. This spring break, ill have to post up pics, etc. for everyone who's helped me on this forum.

It is possible, but no one that I have seen has a kit. Just custom facbricated stuff, prime example is the Meguiar's Type R, I think its running a JRSC, and some custom turbo kit. But like the others said you have to be made of money, or at least have a back up car or plan if anything goes wrong.
