go with supercharger. with turbo, you will risk ur stock engine( cause by boost leak) unless change the all internal parts, means will ended with high cost too.
if not, max turbo can be boost up to 0.5 bar only (assume thai civic engine built = JDM engine strength, and no leaks)
but with supercharger, u can go up to 0.8 bar without worry boost leaking (cause supercharger playing with the pulley).
other hand, superchanger will boost from beginning of ur revs, compared turbo will start around 2-3k rev depends on set up.

remember spending quite sometime looking for a supercharger for the R18... there was one company that showed interest in developing it but they said they were focusing more on a supercharger for k20 for the si in the US. I wonder if they are ever going to go ahead and develop us a supercharger.

Anyone aware of one for the R18a?

Edit: nope, looks like the company went bust.. or at least not making any updates to the site/forum.

**black8thgen** · 02-02-2009 07:29 PM

wonder how many people are actually interested in supercharging their r18s or k20s?

anddd finally.. getting my full mugen kit with wing installed this week! =].

Yet to hear of a supercharged R18a in the US. Not sure about thai/maylasia as I don't know the languages.

**ktvin09** · 02-02-2009 08:54 PM
