An EG Hatch, a Root Style Supercharger, a Type S K20A2, MR2 Power Steering, Type S transmission with shorter gears, NSX brakes, OEM interior parts from different Honda models, a gig with Google and Honda Ridgeline parts. Mix them all and you got a supercharged K20 EG6.

It's so nice to look at it, clean and simple interior, unique color on the exterior and a powerfull engine under the hood that no one expects. Very nice!

I ran the same blower on a k20Z3 and it was a blast. Superchargers have always been my preference on K series for the simple fact that the power band is so smooth and so steady and predictable.

I had an EG back in 2005. Gray. LS VTEC TURBO. I was more for looking clean. So much memories and pulls. I had more than one EG. Also my car was a Blue Del sol slammmed. 4 integras 96-99, CRX, EK COUPES, ACCORDS 93-2001. I had a whole bunch of Hondas

Exactly! It's nice to be able to roll into the throttle mis corner and have it firmly planted. It'll never be as fast nor have the top end pull of these badass turbo'd Hondas out there making over 500whp, but it's also nearly impossible to get 500whp laid down mid corner in a street car on street tires.
