Supercharger Fittings
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

Rep Power: 323 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...

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.

Rep Power: 0 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

Rep Power: 326 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.

The D16 I/M are spaced shorter. A S/C will NOT bolt up that was designed for a d16.

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!).

Rep Power: 297 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

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...
