Default Super Charging Civics?

My buddy has a 2005 civic EX and he wants to supercharge it. Do you know of any companys that have a supercharger for them.

I think this should go into a seperate yet-to-be-created forum....
'WAAAAAAYYYY off topic'

nope, don't know of any. I'm sure there are. Try the Civic Forums. One question though, why a S/C instead of a turbo on a 4 banger? 4 bangers don't have anywhere near as much gain with an s/c setup vs the turbo. Honda's especially are designed for HIGH rpm power an S/C would be a waste on the low end and hurt high RPM performance. Just MO

Yeah jackson makes em, but tell your buddy to go turbo. As much parasitic loss that he'll get from the S/C it wont be worth the cash. Turbo, all the way, I dont care what it is, if you put a turbo on it itll be faster.

Jackson Racing, Vortech, and I think Powerdyne made some as well.

Jackson racing has the s/c, i looked into one like 10 yrs ago when i was a wee lad and had a civic. I agree with Dave, turbo would be better.

There you go

The Ariel Atom uses a super charged H22 that makes 300 brake hp, but thats a super car. I'm with red on this one: tell him ot sell it and get something with a motor worth modding already in it! Besides, thats a nice new car, why tear into it for the teeny power gains?
