Ok what you guys think. For a 1998 Honda Civic EX Coupe, automatic (yea i know what yur thinkin, but its all my parents could get, gosh im only 16 for gosh sakes) a Turbo Charger, or a Super Charger. And we all know that a Turbo is belt driven, and a Super is exhaust driven, so what u guys think would go best??

actually, we all know that a turbo is run by exhaust and the super is belt. personally i like turbos better because of the greater versatility. there are no limits with a turbo, as opposed to a super. i also like the sounds and looks of a turbo.

Back assward on that. I think a belt driven supercharger will be the best bet for a small engine on an civic. You're going to be spending a pretty penny to get either installed.

your better off going with and engine swap before you worry about FI.
youll gain pretty much the Same HP but it will be more reliable.:smoka:
