Turbo chagred B20B or A20A3

[89AccordGSR]

Ok people ive got a couple of questions. First, which is better perofrmance wise, Supercharger or Turbocharger? Second, how hard would it be to turbocharge my A20A3 motor & would it be wroth it? Third, If i did the turbo on my A20 around how much hp & tourqe would I be looking at? Fourth, If I dont do the turbo on the A20, im going to do it on a B20B motor. I plan to have a Type R head on it, if I dropped a turbo on it what should it be coming from, The ITR or The CRV? Fifth, how hard would it be to Twincharge (Supercharge & Turbocharge) a B20B motor? Sixth, would me running dual exhaust pipes (take into mind I plan to do GReddy HKS Dragger mufflers/tips) cause me to lose any HP or tourque? Sorry for the long list of questions, but this is stuff that I really need to know. By the way, on the turbocharging the A20 subject. Justin have you ran your car on a Dyno & if so what did you run?

If you plan on turboing the a20, the stock f.i. system has to go to see big power increases and keep it reliable.

Figure aroun 5 grand for a half decent setup plus whatever f.i . system you plan on using. Keep an eye on funsticks project and that might make it a little cheaper.

All i can say either way you go its gonna be expensive if your going for a decent PSI. Many pros and cons for both in my opinion. For it to be done properly expect to spend over 5k. Some figures:

Fully built bottom end $3000
Turbo Kit $2000-$3200 (depending if intercooled)
Clutch $300
Fuel Pump/ Bigger Injectors $???
Engine Swap $2500minimum

This is just the beggining i have added up $10k to do a B16A Turbo properly to run a high boost. And Justin has a lot of $$$$ in his hatch for the A20. And he has experience with turbos so expect a lot of trouble if you plan on building your own kit for the A20A unless you know someone with experience with turbos.

wheres he at? whats his name?

He also runs over 20Psi so you will definatly need your bottom end rebuilt. One of my issues with the A20 is i think it will be difficult to pass emmisions because for one the egr tube that goes to the manifold will be disconected.

he was from new haven conn...we saw him run a 12 sec 1/4 mile...could have been faster..
