Supercharger/Turbocharger Installation Costs?

arpiburpi · #1 05-31-2002, 02:08 PM

I havent been able to decide if i want a supercharger or a turbocharger in my 2000 civic ex. I think the main thing that is stopping me is the installation costs. Does anyone know approx. how much both are and what one is cheaper? Any information is greatly appreciated.

well i know that you can get a turbo kit and put it on yourself. i don't know about superchargers, but the shop i buy my shit from charges around 300-400 bucks.

$400?? That's awfully low, I think. It's a 13+ hour job. A friend of mine was quoted at $900 for his turbo install in a Prelude. I also talked to a domestic shop around here about how much a TT install in my car would be(95 Z28) and was quoted at over $1600!! I know that a lot more work goes into a turbo install in a Camaro than in a Honda, but still. $300 or $400 seems kind of low to me...

well i know the owner so i'm kinda hooked up. but that just what he told me and he'd charge me 700-900 for a engine swap.
