i was just looking at my friends engine who drives a 2000 civic coupe who has a supercharger on there... then i was looking at it side by side with my car and started thinking.. the engines are nearly identical cosmetic wise just by looking at it.. i was also looking at how the supercharger will fit in almost the same place as where his was.... then i said to myself.. what if we took the same supercharger and was to install it on our 7th gens.. did some measurements and it looks like all i gotta do is get my local machining shop to make some mounts to place it properly and make a new piping which goes into the TB.. everything else looks like plug and play... with the exception of different mounting points but it looks like the shop can just make those... whatcha think... time to go down to the shop and do some experimenting

if you can find the space in the engine bay it should not be a problem anthing is possible but space will be your biggest enemy.Take some measurements. And you will need a fuel system.

Aren't the intake and exhaust ports spaced differently?
I think I remember thats the whole reason why we can't use D16 IMs and Headers...

one word.. NO..

now you can do a custom vortech set up.. but thats kinda pricey

why are people sooo determined to make our cars supercharged ?? turbo is better

glovas

Im thinking of doing a supercharger, and want to know is easier than a turbo, and lighter. But Im sure you can get more power out of a turbo, ( right ).
Plus how does a turbo work, I know has somthing to with exhust.

i'm sorry but i thought that was a funny question.

Civryder02

with a supercharger you dont have boost lag .. you'll take off the line from a stop really quick but top end its shitty ... thats why turbo's own the highways as far as racing. turbo's work off exhaust gaes thats why we have to get turbo manifolds with flanges welded onto them. there's a magic thing called the SEARCH button !! please do use it

Civryder02

and also they're many many topics about how NOBODY is going to make a supercharger for our year civ's. its been convered tooo many times

Supercharged cars can still have top end. It depends on your pulley size, the blower size, and your cam. Turbocharges are simply more efficient, though they produce more heat.

Turbo chargers are powered by exhaust fumes (already left the engine!) and recycles that energy into a compressor wheel which forces more air into the intake pipe. A supercharger is belt driven, although easier to install, it's limited for upgrades and takes power (from crank) to make power.

Superchargers are good for some applications. But I feel that with proper tuning and parts, turbos will always prevail.

Sorry for the stupid ? dont know jack **** about turbos, and Richlandtown is outside of Quakertown PA 50 miles northwest of Philly.

glovas

Berwick ive hear of that where is it?

Not necessarily - with a proper "adaptor plate," it would work. However this would require money and extra space (which we all know is precious in our freakin' civics nowadays!).

well.. for one it wont bolt up directly.. that why i was saying gonna have a machine shop make custom mounts that bolt up to the engine then matches up with the d16 supercharger... as for the piping, like i was saying the TB are different cause it comes in from the top not the side.. so gonna have him redo the intake pipe as well.. but as for everything else it looks like its gonna fit.. hmm if all goes well when we start making these custom parts and they all fit and everything...the shop said they can mass produce these if i never needed them.. maybe we could make a kit and sell them off as a "d17 supercharger conversion kit"... haha... just a thought that the shop guy put in my head yesterday

Good luck, let us know how it turns out (and post lots of pictures too)!

Thats what I was thinking. maybe welding on another flange or something. But there is no getting around space. Turbo would be better either way.

Civryder02

AMEN TO THAT !

because everybody has turbo... well atleast some of us... but to do something impossible for the car that is not capable of anything is way better than a car that is already fast out of the box....

PUT IT THIS WAY:
TURBO D17=BLOW JOB FROM A FAT UGLY B!TCH
SUPERCHARGED D17=BLOW+HAND+BOOBY JOB FROM A HOT MILF

so have you seen a supercharged 7thgen D17 engine? NO!... individuality, and I wanted to be the first one to have a D17 supercharged engine but then again... it's just me...
