SuperChargeing b18c

[Felix]

Has anyone here supercharged a B18C? Specifically a vtir ?
If so what did it cost in total? Just curious, thinkin about it as an option.

[BLKCRX]

tuned them... they work very nicely... cost around 4500$ for the supercarger plus injectors + ecu

would it be better to supercharge or turboing it ?
money - power ?

[Spunkymonkey]

its very similar costs and gains from what I've read.

What power increases are we talking for $4500?

if u want power ur probably better of going turbo, supercharger will only give u low end power where as turbo will give u much more top end, for an integra id recommend turbo over supercharging.

hp maybe, but I'm yet to see a supercharged honda make near the torque of a similarly equipped turbo'd honda

remember the end result is only as good as the tuner. Most engine builders claim they can do it but usually end up building something that will blow after a month or two. I see it every time, so be carefull and chose wisely

Peak power.

What about drivabillity? The low end torque of a supercharger would provide a very nice experience.

Thats what i'm after. Low down torque.

go compare torque numbers between a s/c'ed honda and a turboed one.

turbos make way more torque

supercharger make more torque up to about 2500 rpm(obviously this will vary with a lot of things, but the point is they have the advantage to a very low number)

That just doesn't make sense....

At any given RPM, if a S/C engine and T/C engine are both making the same power, they are producing the same ammount of torque.

"Turbos make way more torque" is the dumbest thing i've heard all day. Please don't go around spreading false information.
