Turbo or Supercharge a D series?Kinked210 01-10-2004, 06:04 PM I've pretty much heard from everyone the best way to go for HP in a D-series engine is forced induction. Or swap for a B16 :P Anyway, I was wondering what would be better to go with, a Turbocharger or Supercharger? Supercharger is always giving you power right off the line but a turbo kicks in later at like 5k RPMS right? Which would help with horsepower most and which is better on the engine? Also, some realistic prices would be nice :) Thanks alot. (93 Civic Ex / D16Z6) NOBU-SAN 01-10-2004, 08:07 PM Dog, check the turbo, super, nitro forum. There's tons of shit in there about this. Just run a search in that forum. But, yes, turbos give higher hp, sc's generally give better everyday drivability, and prices vary greatly depending on which type of sc or brand of turbo you use. Holler NOBU GScivic7 01-11-2004, 04:13 AM Turbo definetely. If you're not looking for a ton of power, go with the Greddy D-Series kit. Or if you have some cash to spend, the Edelbrock kit is very nice. Beastiek2 01-12-2004, 02:10 PM supercharger less maintnence Greddy also has a blow off valve so you can get the turbo feel.. question off topic how do you kno what series engine you have i have a (04 civic EX Vtech) what would that bee if anyone knows? mycivic 01-12-2004, 02:22 PM question off topic how do you kno what series engine you have i have a (04 civic EX Vtech) what would that bee if anyone knows? d17y? something like that i think. go turbo...more potential than supercharger. plus you wont be boosting all the time till higher rpms. turbo wont spool at city driving unless you rev angine a lot. :2cents: Kinked210 01-12-2004, 02:24 PM Ok thanks... @Bestiek: check ur engine it will say on it..like directly across from the radiator fans is a plate with a little code. (and its VTEC: Variable Timing Electronic Control) Beastiek2 01-12-2004, 02:37 PM lol thank KINKED i'm new to this market :screwy: vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
