- Fri Sep 30, 2011 10:53 pm #275485 i have a 93 civic coupe with a d16z6 and debating if i should go turbo or supercharged
does any one know the pros and cons between both and what one would b better to go with

- Sat Oct 01, 2011 2:12 am #275511 Well gilbert i had found some pretty good info in honda tech but let me see if i can find it again.

- Sat Oct 01, 2011 2:42 pm #275582 -You don't have lag with a supercharger like you will a turbo.

-You can push more boost with a turbo than you can with a supercharger.

-SC will give you more low-end power as to a turbo which will give you top-end.

-If I remember correctly Jackson Racing quit making D-series SC, so replacement parts will be a bitch to find.

-SC doesn't make too much of a difference, I had a buddy who had a z6 supercharged and it was fast, but not fucking ridiculous like you can make a turbo z6.

-A supercharger costs quite a bit of money, but a turbo build will cost more.

-Depends on what you want the build for. If you do auto x then a supercharger is ideal so you have constant spool and power from the SC, if you are doing drag then a turbo will benefit you more because you are in the high rpm's constantly.

-OR you can go stupid with it and twin charge and have the best of both worlds. Hope this helps, that is what I could think of off the top of my head.

- Sat Oct 01, 2011 9:47 pm #275658 thanks for all the help it really does and i dont want something stupid fast but just something that i can have some fun with

- Sat Oct 01, 2011 11:02 pm #275674 Jackson Racing did stop making the SC for the d series. And you will have more fun with a turbo imo.

- Mon Oct 03, 2011 12:07 am #275823 I would say turbo. If more superchargers were available, things would be different. Turbo is easier to put together and repair due to parts available.

Any more info on this car?

And yes if you're in Cali, don't waste your time unless you are buying a 50 state carb approved turbo kit.
