Locked in about 5 minutes. Yeah, there's no superchargers out for 7thgen civics. Turbo or Swap is the way to go. Good luck.

Umm someone already has hit 303 whp on a d17, so I am assuming 350 is possible.

Why is everyone so quick to dismiss this? It could be done, the D16 intakes fit, you would just need a custom pulley and some brackets, a return style fuel pump and a stand-alone EMS.

Well if DH racing was making the pulley for it, I would say that turbo would be better. Just because something hasn't been done doesn't mean that it shouldn't, or that it is bad.

I am saying that turbo has been done, therefore you can see it is reliable, and SC hasn't been don't therefore no ideas to whether it is reliable or not. That is all I was saying. And if you try putting SC on d17, you won't have anywhere to turn for help when it messes up and also no FAQs.

It's just way too expensive, no big name companies want to produce a s/c kit so it will have to be all custom or modified from the d16 kits which is $$$.

Here's an example of pricing for you:
Dezod's turbo kit (hope he doesn't mind my using this)
JRSC

Now both kits are going to need the same ammount of attention to install, both are going to need some type of engine management and a return fuel system. With the JRSC you'll just have to "mold" the firewall a bit more.

Do you realize all the work it is gonig to take to fit a d16 SC on a d17? It is def not worth it, because you can put together a custom turbo kit for around $1,500.

I do realise all of the work, it would be the exact same thing as doing the first turbo kit on a new vehicle. Once the ground is broken its a different story.

Exactly, but no big name companies have any plans to make a s/c, and a small company probably won't waste their time with r&d since there isn't a big enough market for it, they'll just be losing money.
