Turbo or SuperCharger
I have been kicking choice around in my head for a few month. Any opinion one way or the other. Also, if I go with supercharger I will go with Alphine. But what do all think
Supercharger or Turbo. also what am I looking at price wise and power output.

Well Alpine supercharger i think is 1900.00 but i could be wrong. Well i am hoping to go turbo charged but it depends on if it uses meth. If it does meth is a little hard to find out here. But the choice is upp there you just have to take a real good look before you buy.

It depends on what your HP goals are.
if you go Supercharger, you will top out at a MAX of maybe 250 WHP, realisticly about 200 WHP
If you go turbo, the only limitation on horsepower is your pocket book.

go boost. like Random said turbo is unlimited and SC you will max out at 200HP and as much as you hate Hondas you will need more than 200HP to beat out a supercharged SI or something like that. wink.gif

You guys are right. I been thinking. If the a stock type R integra is 190hp, intake, exhaust and headers would add another 25-40? ( anyone knows the exact figure let me know) Then add a turbo. I think a supercharger is out of the question. Hey tone,your also right. No turbocharged honda civic hatchback with a bumble bee exhaust is going to make an example out of me! smile.gif
Ok guys, heres a few more questions
1.Can a tiburon support twin turbo setup? What mostly likely would be involved and out of the air price range.
2.If I just went if a standard turbo, how much boast could I expect from a stock engine. Thanks guys! smile.gif

Jaws-
Yes, a Tiburon will not support a twin turbo setup, if your turbos are about the size of espresso cups. To spin a turbo you need air. Lots of air. Add 2 turbos, and you need twice the air (not quite, but I'm simplyfing things here).
From a stock engine, you could do about 6-7 PSI with no intercooler, up to 10 PSI with intercooler. After 10 PSI, you will need to do something to cool the intake air and/or reduce chances of detonation.....
