turbo and supercharger will basically be the sme build (low comp pistons).. what yr si you have? if its a sohc.. just save for a b-series.. unless you dont mind making no more then 250-270 to the wheels in a tuboed with built internals.

your pistons are high comp and cam is for na..
 
alright, yes it is sohc but i got it for 100 dollars so i might as well use it and i don't car bout going to fast i would be happy with breaking 200hp in my crx, so with my si which should i go for, super or turbo? wut would help me the most? if u were i my shoes and u HAD TO HAVE MY ENGINE and u couldn't kill yourself wut would u do, turbo or super?
 
this is a project car and it's all i spend my money on so somewhat, but just answer the question saying i do have money.

If you had unlimited money complete rebuild then turbo.
 
so turbo over supercharger like no questions asked or is it a close decision?
 
Personaly i've been thinking about a supercharger,but you'd have better results and more tunability wtih a turbo.
 
cuz i live in san diego and they have an 1/8 mile track down here
 
A word of advice post this in the forced induction forum and you will get better results.

thas a big desion but i'd rather have the bottom end torque than the top end speed

then supercharger.... supercharger = acceleration and turbo is top end.
