Re: supercharger has Turbolag?
 

nice thread haha. i agree with the last thread of beerbongskickass


Turbocharger on a Honda = Good

Supercharger on a Honda = Poop

This isn't homemadesupercharger.com...

Re: supercharger has Turbolag?
 

I was looking on the procharger website. Here are some specs from a customers honda.
2000 Honda Civic si

ProCharger:
C-1A

Intercooler:
2 Core

Naturally Aspirated ET/mph:
15.6ET @ 95 mph

Best ET/mph:
12.6 ET @ 108 mph

Naturally Aspirated RWHP:
160

ProCharged RWHP:
320

Boost Level:
10 psi

Exhaust:
DC Sports 4-1 header and 3 inch custom exhaust and 3 inch racing cat

Vehicle Specs:
93 octane, 1.6 DOHC Vtec, fully built bottom end, cp pistons, eagel h-beam rods blueprinted and balanced crank, ported and polished head, obx full race intake manifold, msd 6-al and ss race coil, arospeed 10.5 plug wires, spec stage 3 clutch, vafc fuel controler

Gear:
stock

That does not seem too bad. Again, I'm not super familiar with specs on modified hondas.
Of course, there is no way that can equal the bang for the buck of a homemade turbo setup. Or the potential of turbos.

sound nice yeah! :P

Re: supercharger has Turbolag?
 

That doesn't seem right at all. I ran 12.6 @ 107mph with 230whp. A car with 320whp (no way that number is at the wheels) is going to trap a lot higher than that. I bet that S/C kit costs $3,000 then building the motor and head will cost another $2,000 or more. That looks like a shitty deal to me.

Honda made a Rear Wheel Drive Civic. Why didn't I buy one!

Re: supercharger has Turbolag?
 

Haha I didn't even notice that. Pretty funny though.

Re: supercharger has Turbolag?
 

hahahahaha i love my hatch cuz i can to drift with it! ;D

Re: supercharger has Turbolag?
 

AH!! The eternal turbo VS supercharger debate!!

Basically both supply what we need: Boost!!!!

Although a supercharged honda drives VERY WELL with acceptable power and reliability,
such setups are more expensive and not as customizeable as quivalent power turbo setups. I think these two reasons alone are a good enough explanation for the lesser populartity of the SC on hondas.

I agree with those who believe that a properly chosen turbo on a well tuned engine will have no significant lag. Yes there's always a lag but it can be reduced enough to almost match a supercharger of the same power rating.
Significant Lag on turbo cars is mostly when huge turbos are used for major gains of over 100$ from atmospheric HP.
But for a 8 psi setup and 50-60 % hp gains from atmospheric, you can definitely make a turbo setup with virtually no spool up.

yeah, and hello, i dunno if you know who am i (sound strange haha), but i hope to buy to you a T3/T04B for my project ;)

Re: supercharger has Turbolag?
 

since the subject has been brought up i have also heard that using a supercharger durasticly reduces the life of your engine because of the strain it puts on it from the horsepower it takes to run. befor anyone says it i don't mean because it boosts your horsepower a lot but the strain it puts on everything to run itself. is this true just wondering? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
