Superchargers???!?!?!

[Tman6925]

Ok I was on Andie'sautosport website just a few minutes ago and i was just browsing through when it said in the performance section of 90-93 accords that there are supercharger kits. I am confused I've only heard that turbos can be put on our cars but superchargers? I know that section didn't used to be there a few months back, so is it just a mistake on the website or is it true this is very interesting.

Looks like a universal kit... Honestly, Vortech isn't one of the best supercharger companies out there anymore. Their design was copied from another, older, centrifugal supercherger design. I've seen lots of negative campaigning by them against other companies (specifically Procharger).

The information there is too sketchy, so I wouldn't want to get involved with it. Notice that it says "all cars/trucks/suvs" if you follow the link. If I wanted to go with a supercharger, I'd go with the Procharger universal sport compact kit.

if u click and go into it, all it is is links to different super chargers there are no actual kits that bolt on.

thats why i was sketchy on it, cause i havnt heard of SC's cb7s, hmmm weird

I'm quite interested in the Procharger, however. Jonas mentioned it yesterday, and now I'm researching it. Still planning on going NA with my H22, but I'm curious.

technically, you can supercharge anything, it jsut depends on what you are looking for. personally, if i was going to do something, i would supercharge it, but thats just me, and i would want a roots-style blower on it.

i think the reason you dont see alot of supercharged CB7s is the culture around sport compacts, honestly. think about it, the sport compact cuture seems to flock towards cars with turbos, like the skyline, supra, evo, etc.
plus, there arent a WHOLE lot of people tuning 90-93 accords, either. we are kind of a niche market.

The sport compact crowd is SO different from the hotrod crowd... I picked up a hotrod magazine the other day, and they talked about fabrication like we talk about bolting on an intake! If we can slap it on our cars in a weekend or less, it's too much work for us!

The biggest issue with superchargers and our cars is that nobody makes a kit for us. There is some planning, cutting, welding, and failure involved. Jackson Racing makes a kit for the H22, which could be adapted to fit the F22... or installed on an H22 swap. However, clearance is an issue with both the firewall and the strut towers.

I believe centrifugal supercharging is the smartest route for us.

you could build it like this, instead of mounting it on top of the manifold.

And i think you have to find a supercharger that spins backwards too.

[Tman6925]

interesting, very interesting. that looks like a pretty cool setup, but also looks like there would be clearence problems

[sonikaccord]

Yeah i thought about that, and plus the s/c sits over the header.
eaton inefficiency+exhaust temp.= high ass intake temp

[Troggie42]

thats pretty sweet! that dont look too hard to do, but yeah, clearance=not good. i am sure there is a way to do it with that type of blower, it'd jsut take a bit of cutting and welding. and maybe a new hood.

personally, i would have no problem with fabricating stuff. i kinda fall into both categories. i love my honda, but, i also love muscle cars and hotrods. i guess i am kind of a black sheep.

[deevergote]

I'm with you there

I'm seriously considering the Procharger now... if it's compatible with my 10.6:1 compression, I think I might do it.

[Troggie42]

i know that i definiteley not doing anything until i get the H22. whats teh point in doing a bunch of work to the F if i am going to swap it out anyway, you know? i was really thinking about ITBs, but thats another forum.

[deevergote]

I've always wondered about the drivability with ITBs...

FUCK that place, I ordered a Walboro fuel pump from them and they never sent it, never answered teh phone, or returned any of my messages or emails.
