Supercharger or turbo for a 2002 Accord

I need some advise as whether I should get a supercharger or a turbo. I don't want to blow my engine up though. If I get a supercharger, which kind should I get, where can I get it, how much are they, and what kind of boost will i get off of it?

As I've told many people in these forums before, there is no Super Charger kit available for the 6th gen Accords. I know, Ive looked. If you want SC, you gotta either have one custom made for you=$$$$$ OR swap out your current engine for H22a (easiest to swap for the power and cost) and then get a Supercharger from jackson Racing which (with i/h/e) will push you up to like 241hp and 230ish lb-ft. This is an expensive procedure and overall, not worth the cash unless you got money to burn. Vortech also makes SC for H22A, but I don't have the numbers. They probably put out a lil more hp, but nothing too major. Still not worth it.

If you wanna turbo, you gotta figure out if you wanna make your car quick or fast. Obviously fast costs a lot more than quick. You could put a small turbo on your stock engine and run low boost and not blow your engine, but you still wont have a very high performer. If you wanna get into higher boost, you're gonna have to reinforce your engine first, THEN work up to high boost. Depending on how much boost you wanna run, youd need a different size turbo. From what I know T3s are good to about 250 hp (again, someone correct me if I'm wrong here) T4s are for more psi and more hp. There are turbos bigger than those obviously, but frankly, you probably wont need them for an Accord.:rolleyes: Not without a swap or some major business going down under the hood.

well a t3 can put probably up to 25psi....that can mean anywhere from 300 hp on a small cc engine to something like 1200hp on a 528 hemi

Ha, this is a no-brainer: TURBO.

did vortech just come out with the sc for the h22a? cause i called them about a month and a half ago and they said they didnt have one but was thinking about it. just curios if they did

Well, if they were "thinking about it" a month and a half ago, I'm sure they still haven't made it.

I was pretty sure they had one for H22A on their website. I could be wrong though. My memory aint that great.:confused: JR def has one though.

hey jdefranc is your accord a V6 or a 4cyl...if it's a V6 comptech makes a supercharger for your car. here is the link.
