I plan on buying a 99-00 Civic and I am looking into supercharging it and dose anyone have some good feedback on this subject. I only know of 3 brands JRSC, Vortech, and ATI. I do plan on building the engine and boosting to 14-16 psi.

Thanks

That was a good link about TC & SC handlebarsfsr. I always knew that TC was better. It cant be good constantly putting the engine under more stress with SC. I've heard both sides to SC, good & bad. A few guys say they've had no problems & it gives them good power. I knew a guy in NY that SC a Civic & he told me it didnt do too much for him. Maybe he didnt do it right. IDK. I also came across an article last year where this one guy was having weekly problems with his SC. I say turbo it up! That's my plan for next year =)

This is possible but insanely impractical. There was some car back in the 70s or 80s that used this, but I don't think there has been one ever since. Go buy the latest issue of Turbo and High Tech Performance magazine. They are turbo charging and supercharging the v6 out of an MR2.

Man I'm set on a JRSC here on Guam at the local drag strip a CRX with I/H/E and the JRSC B16 6-8psi ran a 13.06 et @102mph his best was a 12.9 @106 on slicks. I plan on doin a built B20vtec with the JRSC 10-12psi what do you all think engine will be in a Hatch or Coupe

Why would you want to supercharge a 4 banger? Not somethin I would do my opinion. I'm not hatin' don't misunderstand. If you want to supercharge the motor I've heard that vortech and the jackson superchargers are good.

Don't supercharge. On the amount of money you would be spending on a supercharger and the b20 motor and all that was needed to do the swap you could put in a k motor for a little bit more and get nice power from it. Especially the rsxs motor. Do the rsxs head on I believe its the crv k block and you get a butt stompin naturally aspirated motor. Now thats being unique.

Well I not trying to hit 11's in the 1/4 just want something for everyday driving abd the JRSC will give me more than that. My plan is to build a B18C1 bore out to be a 2+ liter and run the JRSC @ 10/12 psi +50shot. That will get me in the low 13's maybe 12's.

Why not just click on that site i put up and realize with that turbo kit and tuneing alone you will be in the 13's no need for nitrous or a bore.
