turbo or supercharger
 

if you had 5000 dollars, would you get a turbo or supercharger? why? which one is better?

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

turbo!More versatility,eficient top end,cheaper,boost is easily adjusted,superchargers consume power......and im turbo biased.Im not verry fond of superchargers

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

what mods would you do with 5000 to get 200 horse out of a sohc? block is bored .030 nitrous pistons for a 100 shot, crower rods (what else needs done)

thanks

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

HKS GT28 Ball bearing turbo running 18 psi if your doing internals. 21 psi on track days. You gonna need to beef up your drivetrain too. Can I borrow some of your loot?

went to bank got loan on my 1987 GN TO FIX MY 1997 HONDA CIVIC

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

Build the motor, get some good fuel management, and peice together a turbo kit. You could swap a b-series motor in and do the same thing.

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

Dump the honda, and put money into the GN.

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

WANT TO KEEP THE SOHC TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO IT

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

Dude there is no need to yell...

Like I said before... build the motor, get some good fuel management, and peice together a turbo kit.

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

But dude, you have a ------- GN..See what THAT can do.

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

not yelling cap lock was stuck p.o.s

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

I know waht my GN can do but if it brakes or I blow the motor theres not alot of LC2s left today.
Already have a walbro 340 fuel pump a Kirban presser reg 3"downpipe dual exhaust 36lbs inj new chip front mount and alot more.

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

I have a freind who has 91 civic si with a 86-87 zc motor in it who thinks it will beat my gn lol but I let him think what he want to he never seen one tell I bougt mine.

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

oooooooooooo GN all the way but 5g's will do alot toa civic but also a GN. GN's are sweeeeeeeet

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

for 5000 the civ will run high 11's maybe. for 5000 the gn runs 8s...hahah

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

if i had 5k id get a twin cam. i mean, im a single cam fan, but why not get a twin cam if you had 5k.

better to make a big motor do big things than a small motor.

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

Well I think it's better to build a small motor an doo great things.

Specifics, I'm not sure, but build the SOHC and turbo it. You have more potential with a turbo. If at any point the turbo you chose is just not working for you, you can always upgrade and keep most of your setup, just add to it. On the Supercharger you just get what you get. I don't know, I don't like superchargers, I'm all about the turbos

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

Damn happen to have pics of that gn. ;D

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

your friend is a tool. wasted money putting a 86-87 ??? ZC?? i doubt it's a real ZC, cuz they didnt make them until 88 i thought? o well..

5k.. well, what civic is this? If it's a EX, ,pull the motor and get it sleeved, then get some good pistons / rods. new gaskets and pumps and put her back together.
if its not a EX(or Si) then get a b18b motor and hondata ecu, build that and run 15psi.

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

just get a huge bottle of nawwwsssss!!!!.





















j/k

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

5000 would be nice ::) id definatly go turbo :)

Beau

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

5000 will get you into 10's even with ur sohc if its built right.. aim for 400whp and try and get all of it to the wheels. Have ur block sleeved by darton with a closed deck for extra strength... and get some other nice internals of ur choice... might i suggest ferrea valves and the right fuel management. Youll be on your way to 400 easy with a big turbo. superchargers dont lag.... me likes lag

Re:turbo or supercharger
 

yup big t3/t4 sleeves, pistons/rods, all that good stuff. Get a nice head job, like extrude honed, stainless or Ti valves, big cam, hondata, 3" exhaust, with enough boost, you can run 300 hp all day, just do it right...

buy bigger brakes to, your cars aren't worth much if you are dead.
