Wheres the D17 Supercharger?

What happened to the D17 supercharger? Wasnt somebody putting one into development? I think a lot of people would benefit from this, especially if we can just throw on a log style manifold or something.........

i dont think it will happen, companies dont want to spend a lot of money on R&D when not many people will buy the product.

Ditto that...

SC's are better for daily drivers than a turbo...

They will never make a carb legal supercharger for civics. One reason is that all models except the EX under the d17 engine have the CAT in the header another reason is the way honda has tuned the engine. The fuel system is ****...Greddy actually tried making a turbo for the ex but gave up because and I qoute whet the R&D people say, Honda desided to go all green on this civic along with comprimising everything for MPG and comfort. They couldnt make a reliable turbo system. Ask the boosted people on this site, they have all had trouble.
Unless you got mad cash for a swap generally its worthless to tune this car in anyway... Well unless your going to rebuild the engine and remap the fuel system.
For the record books there isnt even a carb legal TURBO for the 7thgen
