Davectr Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 It will change the characteristics of the original to an extent, but not necessarily for the worse. I had a civic type r (ep3) with a Jackson racing supercharger on it for a few years and it was a superb conversion for road use. Yes, it didn't make bhp figures like the rotrex supercharger or a turbo, but it had instant power from tick over all the way up to the redline rather than huge bhp at the top end of the rev range. I would definitely recommend anyone try one themselves before discounting the idea. The car actually felt standard but with a lot more power.

nowhereboy Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Never driven a Vtec, but cant see the appeal. The appeal happens once you've experienced it. Cracking engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Wouldn't buy anything from a 5 Neg feedback eBayer, car doesn't even look that clean or cared for, under the bonnet is a mess. £9k is far to much by a mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
