Do you have a supercharger kit? Far as I know, Jackson is the only one who made a kit for the civic and they can be pricey. Building an HMT would probably be cheaper and make way more power. Jacksons run only 4-5 psi max. (please correct me if I'm wrong if anyone has one.) Ebay has full Jackson kits for like $1500, but you can do a turbo cheaper. My buddy has a 14b turbo, HF mani, and Blue top DSM 450's and resistor box he would sell cheap. He sold his turbo project car and doesn't need the parts. Let me know, or if anyone wants those parts, hit me up. Werd

Correction, let me be more clear... Jackson was the only company that made D-Series superchargers.(You could get a E-Charger LOL) Couple other brands for B16/B18s.

you have to tune for a supercharger too its no different. superchargers are gay there is no upgrading in th future at least with turbos you can get better ---- down the line. i know up can upgrade pulleys and all that ---- but just like turbos s/c have efficiancy ranges also so upgrading the pulley is just like turning the boost up on a small turbo

turbo that sucker, you'll have more options for upgrades and you get that awesome whoosh sound when you shift :p

Homeboy hasn't answered if he has a SC yet. Say for instance he happen to come across one for say... free or super dupper cheap... Go for it. If you have to pay more than $400 for the SC with complete parts..... Run the turbo. You can get all your parts for a turbo cheap and at a junk yard if you want. Turbo = more power for less money. Turbo = more options and upgradeable.
