i have a 2001 civic ex im wanting to make some power with im looking torwards turbo setups superchargers set ups or compound setups

idea one is a compound turbo set up twin turbo or should i go with parallel turbos

number two is can you do a compound turbo over supercharger set up

you obviousley can't run two turbo's unless you run two in line. because there is only one exhaust header. it is possible to run two turbos in line though, most people doing so are running a small turbo for lower powerband and rpm, because it spools faster then use a larger turbo for higher range, they're known as "sequential turbos", if you want to google them. it will be hard if not impossible to fit in the civic though.

your best bet would be to run the "twin-charged" setup, a turbo and a supercharger.
the problem is the d17 is so compact it's hard to get to a belt for the supercharger, and the throttle body is vertical, which leaves almost no clearence for the hood. if you were running a supercharger on top of the throttle body there is no way it would fit with a stock hood and the stock throttlebody. i've heard of people swapping the throttle body for an earlier civic's TB, which had the butterfly valve on the side, so the supercharger can clear the hood.

ps: all of this will take mad money. you'd be best to keep the civic stock and buy a faster car as your bass to start moding. if you're into the tuner jdm cars, i'd be looking at some other 90's brands over honda. even the prelude was a lower powered car. honda did have fast cars but they're the upper class more expensive modles like the s2000 and nsx.

look for a nice stock turbo car then mod it, here are a few options.

toyota mr2, mitsubishi 3000gt, mazda rx7 and the like. they're pretty fast stock and have pottential to be far faster, without the cost of a supra or skyline.

th 3000gt runs for about $5-9k depending on year and model, the vr4 model is twin turbo stock with 320hp and runs from $7-9k. plus it's not bad on the eyes. i love my civic but they arn't the most designed cars out there, lol.

3000gt vr4 320hp stock


mr2 around 200hp depending on model


rx7 250hp stock but the rotory engine can be expensive to service.


toyota celica gt 240hp stock.

1. The majority of factory twin turbo cars are converted to a single large turbo, because the increased ease in tuning facilitates making more power.

2. No supercharger for the d17 exists, but it is possible to do a compound turbo/supercharger set-up if you have lots of money to burn.
