I have respect for all builds. Love Honda guys because I feel like tuning and making your car faster started there. I remember when I first got my sti and I was like this shit is so fast. Then I got used to it. Then I built it and was pushing 500 hp and I was like this shit is so fast. Then I got used to it. It’s now 700 hp and I’m used to it. The love for speed is a money pit my friends. Don’t try it because once you try it, it’s over

[@TheGerbsteve]

Dog dog mutual. I agree with that. Either swapping a huge engine into a light hatch chassis, or turbocharging a bucket that makes like 600hp haha. I have a sweet spot in my heart for Sti’s, 2005 mainly. 500hp is definitely fast in an awd, turbo, rally car. That’s why I’m telling myself that I’m content with my 200+HP k24 swap, naturally aspirated 🤣

[@markblanc5993]

Leasss my 09 si in 2010 so by time the lease was up it was 2012 the first year of the 9th gen. The dealer hit me up around that time offering to discuss buying it out and they offered me to roll over into the 9th. Took it for a test drive and it felt weak compared to the 8th so I kept my fa5. Still have it.

I'm also wondering if the new Civic si with that small 1.5 turbo engine can handle this kind of power. The 9th gen should probably be considered the last true Civic Si

The new Civic can hang just not with that same type of reliability.

Not trying to necessarily bag on your ride because it’s pretty cool, however, superchargers on low displacement engines leave a lot to be desired. Better than stock for sure, but it’s turbo or N/A imo.

My only question would be, is the car still reliable after 150,000 miles. I have a 2014 Civic si also. It's stock. I used it for Uber and Lyft. I had over 200K on it right now and it's still running.

[@Tjtjboy]

Maybe I should be asking will it even make it to 150K miles. Having over 300 horsepower in a car with a 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine sounds like to much pressure and strain on the engine.

@@edmeyer4800 not many because its not just a swap. Alot is involved. You basically need an SI to do that, and at that point you already have a whole car that's an SI so you might as well just fix and drive that!

[@josiahbutler2254]

can you daily drive a supercharged engine? cus id rather have that than a turbo, because doesnt a turbo cause problems from time to time?

[@TheGerbsteve]

Yes you can. I believe it’s been proven to be more reliable than a turbo set up. Turbo there is more involved imo... between oil lines, turbo placement, heat, over boosting, etc. I just like the placement of a supercharger better. The fact that you can use your header on a Charger set up as well is a win win. All in all, I think the supercharger is easier to work on in general due to placement of blower. Keep in mind, turbo may be better than charger for the fact that it’s not constantly spooling. Turbo turbines activates at a certain rpm, unlike charger which is belt driven. Just something to keep in mind. Boost on these cars is no joke either way you go 🤘🏼
