Supercharger questions?

[DarkSideAccord]

i am willing to bet the tranny will go out b4 the motor does

J30 + 6mt + SC = win

Just say NO to the J30 + supercharger...The J32 engine swap alone will yield more horsepower than the supercharger - and cost about $3000 less...

since when is a direct bolt-on SC $3000 more than an engine swap?

As previously stated in your current position it's not worh it.
First you have to bullit proof the tranny and the only way to do that is to swap.
And the amount of power to the wheels you'll get from a supercharger is not worth the cost.
I posted a pic of a CL-S with a Supercharger but I can't find it

Since comptech has been selling their supercharger for the accord for $4000. J32A2 engines are extremely cheap...I picked up one this summer with 60K miles on it for $450...total for my swap(including the engine) was just over $1000 with all the equipment, tools, and miscellaneous items bought for the swap.

You're better off buying a Civic and building it honestly or just a new car. By the time you're done swapping the transmission (which the parts to get it done cost more than the tranny), building the clutch, buying the supercharger, buying an engine management system, having it tuned you'll be close to 8k. It's not worth it. I don't even think your car is worth 8k right now with that many miles.

I was actually considering doing J30+6 spd+ SC. Heres what I'm worried about... if you do a J32 swap, wont it be impossible to pass smog in SoCal?

who would buy a SC for $4k? i've seen tons of SC going for around $1500

You still have a auto. It's still FAIL!

Id like to see you run a S/C Accord though.

Darkside - $1500 for a complete comptech kit? Point me in the right direction! Oh and to pass smog would you just need the TL/CL ecu and harness?

Legendary - I'd like to see what you have under the hood to run your mouth like that. I never said I'd "run" a S/C accord. I'm sure it would be a pretty good race - the numbers are in my favor, but not by much. But me, I'd take the J32 over a supercharger any day.
