im guessing the line that starts from the bottom is the supercharged b18, but y is it so low compared to a stock b18? i thought superchargers helped in the low end...
It looks like it helped out plenty in the low end to me.
The question is, is a 30.8hp and 20.7tq gain worth the money spent for this supercharger kit. I say no! The torque starts taking a dive at around 5200rpms in this setup. Why the owner chose a 2 inch collector header and a 2.36 exhaust setup is beyond my comprehension. No wait, why the owner choose to supercharge a 4cyl Honda LS motor is beyond my comprehension.
I'm personally not into forced induction at all. If I wanted a FI car I wouldn't have purchased an Acura. In conclusion, if you want to make some real power, go turbo or go home. To the thread starter, the Greddy (carb legal) turbo kit is the way to go in my opinion. From what I understand these kits are coming out with better engine management. If you were to ditch the AC and go with a bigger downpipe and exhaust setup you would spank supercharged four cylinders all day, every day.
Here's a Greddy turbo and intercooler setup on an LS. Looks like nice gains from the properly sized exhaust setup. (Yes I know the thread starter has a GSR)
