and the $1million question that still remains.... where the hell are you gonna fit it in there?

 
Rep Power: 280

I'd say GO, and ask them how many 7th gen they did.

look at the web site it shape like
a turbo. but a little bigger.

 
Rep Power: 272

3400 for 40 - 50 hp gain on charger

or

>3000 for 40 - *.* gain.

I guess it would be good if you were autocrossing, you'd have instant power.

ones the info comes in and check my engine bay for a spot
am buying it. hey this is how we learn.

 
Rep Power: 423

umm yeah, but you can put a turbo anywhere, you need to bolt a S/C to a bracket so the pulley lines up with the belt system, which severely restricts the location and orientations in which you can arrange it. Last time I looked at the left side of the engine bay, there's not enough room to stick your arm down there none the less put a supercharger.

So, no 7th gens kits are made by them yet?
I still want to say GO!
Try the kit without I-Cooler first.

$3,400 for something that has to be custom fit will will prolly cost you at least another $1000.

Why not just go with a turbo set up that has been proven, will make more power and has adjustability.

it's an interesting idea...seems that it would require a lot of fabrication though which may out-weigh it's worth but then again worth is subjective. If you get it let us know, you are a brave one and you should be applauded for most of us are either A.) too chicken **** to try something that requires more effort than an AEM SRI installation, B.) too broke to try it -or- C.) A+B. I fall under option "C" ha ha! Go for it, keep us posted. Good luck!

cut a hole in the hood, like that turbo crx did.. shouldnt be a problem with getting it to line up then.

 
Rep Power: 280

That pic was funny ****!

 
Rep Power: 0

or if he does get it mounted and working he can always turbo it too...
but might aswell just have a turbo setup with higher boost. but it would be a first.

 
Rep Power: 280

We are going of topic.
But it is becoming funny.

 
Rep Power: 373

the universal doesnt come with much for that price. anyways, youd have to convert the tb to open to the right ( never seen a honda intake setup like that ), or tube up some crazy ish that goes from the sc outlet up towards the hood and back down to mat to the tb... just go with the hot boost like everyone said.

 
Rep Power: 294

I want this to become a reality, because then there wont be that option of either turbo or NA(which hasn't even been proven powerful yet). With an option like a SC you gain HP all over the board with no lag and reliability. I would personally SC then turbo after all the maintenance problems people are encountering with turbos

 
Rep Power: 280

seems like you could maybe make it work like the vortech one for the 6th gen si...but seeing as how our tb opens vertically, that could become an issue when routing the piping...maybe a top mount with scoop/custom vented hood??

just an idea...

 
Rep Power: 369

exactly what I was going to say

You can spend $3400 or less on a turbo setup which will yield more power.

 
Rep Power: 284

I say go for it, it'd be cool to have a SC 7th Gen. Plus one of the cars with the universal kit got just over 100% power increase. Thats an awesome gain.

 
Rep Power: 293

Yeah go for it dude. I would also like to see if someone could successfully pull this off. Good luck and keep us updated

 
Rep Power: 359

turbos are great but a SC is what you get the most out of for daily driving. unless you race your civic, and most people dont, then do what you want.
If you race a turbo is best sure, but if you want a quicker car to go from your house to the supermarket in then a SC is perfect!

thank for the feed back and confident. i got $5,000 let see how it goes.
remeber ones i see were every is going and fit, ill have the map of the tubing
and braket then i will pass it along any body that want to do the set up. but
remeber always tune. the shop it 2 hours from me in new jersey that specialies in "PROCHARGER"

 
Rep Power: 0

i heard somebody try that but it dont work. i guess the fitting issue
but i might be wronge. i just want us 7th-gen to have choices
not just swap or turbo. it will be nice to add supercharger to that.
and that what am working on now. ill keep you 7th-gen update on
my "procharger" set up.

no problem

 
Rep Power: 369

Does that company only use centrifugal style superchargers? What kind of gains are you expecting and what size pully are you gonna run?

 
Rep Power: 0

i hear a jetta gain 100+ with the universal setup.
let see how much ill get.

 
Rep Power: 293

make sure if you do this you take pictures of everything and give problems so incase other members want to try it as well. I seriously hope you pull this off.
