Supercharger/ re-enforcing engine

[Shady469]

I looked at a civic motor and its ours flipped 180 degrees(kinda sorta). In that case would a supercharger work on our car with a little bit of tweaking? even if the civic super doesnt work is there any other platform that might work?<BR>How does one go about strengthening the engine? like what do i need? ive got an SOHC and i wanna spray the sh!t out of it.<BR>thanx in advance

The 1.6 SOHC will take 10psi easy. It's a fairly stout block. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Go for it dood...although i think nitrous would be the more efficient/cheaper way to gain HP...plus It won't be on all the time so you won't waste as much gas either

most of the Eaton blowers have bypass valves so youre not in boost, and wasting gas too badly. <P>One thing though, if you gonna be doing a supercharger, make sure you spray after the blower...there have been problems with the nitrous taking off the laminate in the blower housing that seals everything.
