r u considering this option?
iv got a 98 accord and found it would be much simplier to put a side mount super charger on it.

havnt done it yet, but as soon as i bought it i looked thro the engine bay and found once u squeeze the supercharger in there, all thats left is piping, whereas turbo charger ud have to solve where ud put the turbo as its a v6 (2 seperate exhaust manifolds) or whether ud go twin turbo and there isnt much room for that plus thats alot of customising.
also allow in ur budgeting for a aftermarket computer, installation and tuning after fitting boost.

can't the same be said with a turbo set up... ince you've squeezed the turbos/exhaust manifolds in, it's pretty much just piping?

yeah but from my (mind u iv onli done alittle) customising experience, making custom manifolds to squeeze into 2 different sized and shaped areas is expensive and time consuming, not saying it cant be done but i thought supercharging would be easier, altho i havnt done much research and like i said all i did was have a quick look under the hood

yeah i've got one. (or had one)
make sure u know a little bit about wat ur doin b4 u start. it can be a costly experience especially if u rely on workshops.
How did it go? Pretty fun, surprised alot of people.
