Supercharger?

I'm not sure if this post belongs in this section but I was wondering if anyone has heard about or knows if and when a supercharger will be availabile for the 2001 and up Civics?

SEARCH!!! A warning before the rest of these guys get a hold of this. There is none there will be none. There isn't enugh room under our hood, and the moter sits wrong for a supercharger to fit. besides a turbo is bettoer for our cars anyway.

What year civic do you have? What do you mean by the motor sits the worng way? I know that the 2003 Si's do, but the other Civics face the right way...please explain?

I was told that the intake sat wrong in our Civics. I could be wrong. One way or the other there is, and probly never will be a supercharger for our cars.
I appologise if my facts aren't completly straight.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

hi, welcome to the site, well there is no supercharger kit out for our civic and most probable thig is there never will be, beacause the lack of space, the postion of the Throttle body ( i think) and not so good aftermarket support, you'd be better of getting a custom turbo or waitin for a company to make a bolt-on

what jeff means about the motor sitting wrong, is that it is transversely mounted. they incresed the size of the interior space by an inch and decreased the overall length of the car by an inch and that all came from the engine bay. there just isnt any room.

You are correct! Jackson Racing says since the throttle body is turned up the engineering problems were too much for the amount, and since the new Si's were coming out they would focus on that instead.
