thanks.

You can but I would recomend going turbo over supercharger.
IMO for the money I would go with a b18c (usdm b18c1) because it's cheaper then take the money you saved and do a mild build (rods pistons) and then buy a turbo instead of the s/c. Invest in the tuning and you are on your way to making 400whp if you want. Or save even more money, keep the b18c stock internally and then boost it. 300whp in a civic hatch is plenty for the street. I'm pulling my motor set-up out of my car this weekend so a can sell my civic (coupe) and then buy a hatch to drop my motor into. I'm shooting for high 11's next season with the set-up the way it is now (stock motor) If I build it then i'm shooting for low 11's next season. I'm not a fan of spending the same amount of money going N/A only to have 200whp when for the same amount you can have 300whp+ with boost
