for a 97? dunno bout supercharger...i guess you could try to build a custom supercharger system..do u have a v6 engine or an I4?

anyway you can search the web for turbocharger..if you want kits there are also some turbo kits available for accords...but the people here dont really recommend buying kits cuz its expensive they just piece parts to make their own kit...

anyways the guys that know more than me will chime in..so just w8 for their reply...

if you go turbo the headers will obviously have to go. what size is the exhaust i think when you turbo you should have like 3 inch piping i believe

yeah i think its 3" for the exhaust piping if going turbo..and umm..i dont get what you said bout how much your going to have to build the engine...can you rephrase what you said..

yeah and if you have headers, that will also gonna be replaced if your gonna turbo...

btw its "v-tec" not "v-tech" just clearing you with that..=P

oh and if you look around here, you'll find some posts bout turboing...=D..

I plan to use 2.5" piping for my exhaust so it will be ok for NA and good for turbo as well. ..... I also plan to hook up an e-cutout to Stage 2 ..... eventually.
