Which is better for a 1994 Honda Civic: Turbo or Supercharger?

Question

Which would net me more HP?

Answer 1

a turbo will be more officiant, especially for that small displacement motor.

Answer 2

the supercharger will give you more torque across the RPM range.  Turbo's get the most HP. The car with the most torque wins drag races, the car with the most HP wins long term races.

Answer 3

it depends if you want to acelerate faster or go faster...

both will do it but the turbo option will give you more power on the mid to high end while the supercharger will give you the low end to the mid...not much needs to be done for the supercharger while the turbo will require a full build up for effenciency and durabuility...and the turbo will always give you the most hp with the right build up...

Answer 4

Go with the Turbo because of better mileage and better SNAP.

A big PLUS is that the TURBO is way more adjustable than a blower.

Answer 5

Know are u gonna build your motor or just thnking of slapping on a supercharger or turbo?

If your serious bout this then i would go turbo. becuz once you bulletproof your engine and get everything tuned, your lil monster will rip! You can easily score hundreds and hundreds of horse power. Ive seen this lil bad boys go passed the 300hp mark!

I would buy a supercharger and slap it on just for fun. just to have some power and mess around u know.

Answer 6

LOL love honda guys...Honest answer?  Neither it's a HONDA!!  LOL joking.... if ya got money I would go with the supercharger.

Answer 7

either one depends on the size of the device. they both work with the same basic principal but the supercharger is probably easier to install due to the fact that you don't have to re-plumb the exhaust.  

Answer 8

Turbo for obvious reasons.  It'll give you way more horses than a supercharger.
