well you can get either of them anyplace, such as ebay, or in magazines they have tons of web sites in them like super street or honda tuning

For which one that you want, well you have to decide what you want, the supercharger will give you power right away off the line but will kind of die out after 4-5000 rpms depending on the blower you go with. For the turbo setup your going to have some turbo leg depending on the size of your turbo, the smaller the turbo the sooner it will spool up, and turbo's last longer into higher rpms

so just figure out what is more important to you

canni'ing some parts is the best idea and the cheapest. take a bunch of stuff off a 2g mits eclipse and stuff will be real cheap at a junkyard

i withdraw my last post, id say spend ur money on a 5spd swap first. Ive driven both turbo autos, and turbo 5 spds, and the manual is faster, and alot funner, but thats just me.

but would you rather have an auto, or a turbo auto? turbo autos are the ****. i hate autos but if i were to have one, it better be turbo. when your on the freeway and you want to pass. just reach down into the spool, theres no reason for the tranny to upshift, all the power you could ever want is right on tap.

hey 91. there are a few companies that make superchargers for the 91 accord, my favorite is powerdyne because it doesnt need to be oiled. and a quick shift with a manual is about 50 millisconds, a quick shift for an auto.....is about 500, so autos are actually much slower in shifting. but now race autos are different as are the sequential gear boxes, they shift very quick.

hey, you can easily get a turbo/ super kit from the internet or mags BUT if ur not handy and comfortable with your car consider having it proffesionally installed this guaruntees workmanship etc. to help u decide, A turbo will give u more power for the higher ur RPMs go so u have a large potential supply of energy. however the turbo (dependant on size etc.) will lag until you get to an RPM that can spin it fast enough to get it going. so potentially unlimited power but can take a while to kick in. then super charging, supers will start when the car does and always add the same power, however this power is limited (can still be quite high) and wont go up all the way with your RPMs so the super has power off the bat, but its limited.

Get yourself a decent torque converter, new RED alto clutches, and some valve body mods and you'll have any manual guru wanting your automatic in his car.

I'll never go back to a manual after seeing what a little aftermarket parts can do for the shifting and grabbing. JMO

When that converter locks up... goodbye. Just keep your foot to the floor and let the trans do the rest.

It's funny especially if you are racing a novice using a manual. Even more so if he's cocky and arrogant when he rolls up next to you.

You have got to see the faces of them when you just speed by in your auto...it's the best feeling in the world.

500 ms to 50 ms...if you got DBW it should shave a couple ms off the time no? And I would get a sequential gearbox as well...if you're dropping money into the turbo, do it right....otherwise, it'll be a waste of money, time, and blood.

not really..... destroying your auto trans is just an excuse to do a swap lol

But Auto Turbos are so fun.

RE: anyone know where i can get a supercharger or turbo for my car?
 

im not saying they arent, but if you want to get an extra 100 to 200 hp out of your engine you have to work on the trans

RE: anyone know where i can get a supercharger or turbo for my car?
 

You'd have to work on a manual w/ that much extra HP, too. A stock clutch will definately slip @ that power level.

Reminds me of that old video of a turboed school bus beating the crap outta a modded car.
