No Brainer: S/C Excelent Power + BOLT ON!.

BUT!

TURBO: SHIT MORE POWAH!!!+ More Work + Money + Tune Needed but in The End the Turbo beat the crap out of S/C in the Gains Department.

 

lol ^ this guy

what he said :P

 

or you could swap the motor and that is a pretty big power gainer if done correctly.

 

turbo can be done cheaper than the supercharger.

 

I recommend getting a bigger motor. That's just me because I like seeing well built NA motors.

wait... why is this a poll?
that's funny.

first post is unnecessary poll thread

:insertsuccesskid:

 

How so? Custom Piping + Headers + Oil Lines + Fuel Pump + Injectors + ECU + Tune & Dyno Sessions + NEW BRANDED GOOD TURBO Not a Shitty EBay One? Not to even Mention an Intercooler and all that Involves, Im Curious on your Statement.

You can get a Complete NEW CT S/C these days for 3.7K and thats it! Direct Bolt-On even a DIYer Teenager could install it.

If you Meant a Used Turbo Setup it can be done cheaper for sure.. But a New One? Like from Garrett? With all Parts Need it? I may be out of the game if thats possible now :/ Stupid Responsibilities.

 

If you go high boost, you will also need forged internals.... which I would assume costs a hefty penny

 

Make sure everything else is mint before even considering forced induction. How's the trans?? Timing belt water pump done??

 

No you dont. There are guys cranking out 700hp on stock internals. The ability to tune is key. If you dont tune you will blow things up.

 

Wait, so your going to put a SC or a tubo on the stock trans??? I'm surprised everyone else hasn't yelled at you. I feel like if I even say "hey guys I floored my TL yesterday" everyone is going to get on me "you WHAT!?!? YOUR GOING TO BLOW YOUR 3RD GEAR PACK AND KILL YOUR CAR AND KILL YOUR WALLET AND KILL YOUR SELF!!!" haha

But hey man, a turbo or a SC sounds like a super awesome plan!!
I'm Jealous.

 

I'm thinking about going with a mild turbo after dropping in the 2007 Accord tranny. Why not go for more?
I have a car from the 60's that will by my beast.

 

I got the turbo kit from civicdrvr for $1600. I had it on my car for less than 100 miles. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the car when I had it on, I took the turbo off and found out I had timing issues. At that point I just wanted my car to get decent gas mileage and I didn't want to go turbo anymore. I'd let it go for like $1300 if someone really wanted it.

ur mpg went down???

were you able to tune it or anything?

 

I don't know if my mpg down. I never got it to run right. But assuming since i was running s2k injectors and i might develop a heavier foot, that would be the case.

Never had a chance for a tune. In hindsight, I wish i knew it was out of timing but we live and learn. I was using AEM EMS though. I'm not the best at auto mechanics but I was pretty decent at aviation maintenance lol.

 

LOL, well you live and learn man.
How was it out of timing? gears were out of position?

 

I changed the timing belt while the engine was out of the car. It was my first time so maybe it was off by a tooth or so? It ran, but it wouldn't rev past 3k and all that jazz. It was just a mess. So when I found a 50k mile engine for like $400, I just ordered that and installed it. Worked like a champ. Didn't feel like putting turbo back on and all that shit.
