which is easier to install on sedan? S/C or Turbo?

20civic07 · 01-15-2008, 01:35 AM

I may not be right, but i've read somewhere that the greddy turbo kit requires alterations to be put on the fa5? I havent seen any s/c fa5's yet, is there anyone? And to those who have installed either the turbo or s/c, which is the easier install? meaning less parts to purchase on top of kit, and ease of installation.

I have no experience with either, but I would imagine the sc would be easier. Aren't most of the sc pretty much plug n play? I know it's a 10 hour job, but they do just bolt right on from what I understand.

I have not seen any s/c fa5s either, be a pioneer.

there are plenty s/c fa5s. Id recommend the S/C kit if you want to purchase nothing outside the kit. I would recommend running an aftermarket header and exhaust in the future though.

I would go supercharger. 6to8 hour install, slap a img gasket on while you are at it, and have a nice torquey reliable every day driver.

im leaning towards s/c as well, nathen have any pictures of any s/c fa5's? i know there are a couple people here with turbo fa5s... personally i hate the sound of loud exhausts. if i get the s/c, there would be a new exhaust, but would only get loud at wot, not cruising on hw. and i dont know if i would get a header.
