supercharger

[240crawler]

I like the idea of easier to install and maintain power. No bullshat, no blown seals, no need for worry. But, if it is the same cost as a turbo kit (or more), than why mess with it. I like supercharging better for domestics (more applications and cheaper) and on the Integras is a little cheaper, but how much for my DE?

On a side note, it is a stupid question. Can a SR20 exhaust manifold be made to fit my KA24DE? The reason I ask is I found a new stainless complete system with turbo flanges for $550 on ebay.

mm parasitic drag. The only time I would take a supercharger over a turbo would be for drifting. The more linear boost curve and speedy response would be favorable. Otherwise the supercharger takes back some power to generate power so two steps foward, one step back.

turbos use power by restricting the exaust which in a sense uses power

Can't get something for nothing. Basic law of thermodynamics.

i remember i saw a post somewhere that rippmods.com was looking for a ka24de to supercharge. they use a vortech unit on their kits. i think i read they needed a car for one month of r&d and the kit would be sold at cost to the person with free install. they never got anyone though.

If you can find that info, tell them they have a test candidate.

if you want just go to rippmods.com. all the info should be there. they are located in staten island, ny.... if i remember correctly. i've seen their kits first hand and even rode in a car supercharged by them. great quality stuff, and great power/ride. i just never knew they were looking into making a kit for the 240
