wat up everyone so i just finished putting in my b17 with the gs-r head i got 500 dollars to invest into this car its a 2000 civic si... any suggestions of how i should spend this money
 
well the suspension on the civic si is already good and i think the clutch is alright for now...till i get the turbo then ill b looking at upgrading suspension and clutch...
 
IMO hondas and superchargers dont go that well together.

Why do you say that?

That's kind of backwards. If you want to make your car significantly more powerful via forced induction, then you need to properly prepare for it. I would at LEAST get a "Stage 1" after-market clutch. Unless you're going completely balls-out with the turbo, your stock suspension and brakes will probably be okay for the time being, but I would definitely think about upgrading them in the near future...

for why i dont like superchargers...
cuz i have seen two civics built almost exactly the same by two of the people that go to my buddies shop all the time and ones turbo charged (i think its a td06, decent sized) and the other is supercharged (about the same size as the turbo if not a liittle bigger) and the supercharged on has higher cc injectors and both tuned by the same guy the turbo car was running more whp and more torque, i know its not always like that but thats just what i have seen.
but if you want to by all means, dont let me shatter your dreams!

but yes like everyone always says "whats power without control"
get a better clutch setup (cuz honda clutches are shyte) and some suspension (whether it be some kyb's of tien's)

then think about whether you wanna boost it or do a nasty n/a build!!!!!!!!!
 
tru...well idk bro im going to look into it a little more before making my decision im probably going to build my own turbo kit and make it nice but thanx for all you guys help i appreciate it
 
Save for a turbo, it will be well worth your time!.

I agree, and turbo is more efficient than supercharger.
But I would definitely go for suspension/clutch/flywheel/wheels etc. before you go super/turbo. thats just my opinion
