Superchargers vs Turbos
Hi,
I have a few things to compare about the two, if you guys don't mind helping me out; could you please compare the following:

Pricing (how much it costs)
Install (how easy/hard it is to install)
Performance outcome (how much more horsepower)
Cheers

1. both will cost close to the same price.
2. both can be close to the install depending on what type of S/C you use.
3. Depending on the size of the turbo, the turbo will make much more power
it also helps when we know what year and trim accord you have

you can spend 2k-10k just depending on what parts you use brands and such. You can toss allot of money into a car when going performance.

Turbos will give you higher numbers on average, superchargers will give you "instant" power. They are both about the same price and each has a different type of power. Turbos require spool up of the engine to build the sufficent pressure, the larger the turbo the longer you wait to hit your power but the more power you will get. The smaller your turbo the quicker you hit the power but the less you get.
For everyday driving yes the supercharger is better for low end torque but if you are fine with the v6 now and want some more high end power for the track or something then turbo it.

Turbochargers can fit into any type of engine, due to the use of appropriate manifold and decompressed the engine block. However, the turbo must be sized properly according to the application. Small turbos boost means faster response, but limited amounts of boost. Larger turbos take more time to build momentum, but give a big boost. Turbochargers move from vehicle exhaust velocity is directly proportional to the temperature of the engine.

being a supercharged car owner.. Not the honda.
I love the whine, the instant get up and go
Now with the "correct" turbo you can get almost the 0 lag.. it's all about proper application to what you want.
I've owned a R32 Skyline GTR
06 Saturn Ion Redline ( supercharged Factory)
Supra TT
90 Rx-7
Driving a Shelby Cobra 540 hp supercharged stang.
But like i said.. it's using the correct parts to get what you truely want..

I have a 90 300zx tt about 400hp and i love it but it depends on what you are looking for. I think i would feel nice supercharged. It would be really responsive. But you already have some torque with the v6 so some top end from a turbo would not hurt!
