Supercharge on stock parts?

[Loppysaurusrex]

I'm hearing things about super chargers being simpler to install and work with.

But what all do you need?

Do you need a tune? Can the car handle the gains on stock parts?

you will need hondata flashpro with a tune to have the kit function properly.

Oh wow that's it? My car won't explode or anything?

Probably won't do it any time soon but I'd have a professional install it for me, awesome to see a 70-80 horsepower gain for the price

A 280 horsepower civic at around 3070isb pounds would probably really quick

The car won't explode. It'd help to have a catback exhaust on the car, but it's not a necessity to install the kit. You'd just see better performance out of the car with one.

So would you still consider the car reliable after that or no?

yes. Comptech used to have a program with certain honda dealerships to actually install the supercharger. If it was installed by honda, they'd actually keep the car under factory warranty. I don't know that they still offer the program, but you could contact them to see what dealerships still do that.

So just to get this straight, all I need is a hondata flash pro, a CT supercharger, and the vit aftercooler, and then I can just go down to a car mod shop and they can install it?

What about the tune? Does vit have a preloaded CT tune on a stock 2013 SI?

From this page what would I check? I notice a lot of options.

You would need supporting mods if you go with an after cooler like cooler spark plugs, larger injectors, aftermarket intake, fuel pump, downpipe and exhaust to get the most out of the s/c. You tell vit what parts you have and he will give you a map to flash before tuning so you're not running absolutely terrible. Tune will help yu run to full potential

The other mod I would definitely recommend is a stiffer rear motor mount. The factory one is quite soft. I have the Hasport 62A mount on an otherwise stock car.

Adding to the list above. If you go with the aftercooler and 2.95 pulley you'll want the 4bar map sensor and a clutch that can handle the added torque.

If you really want to stay on stock parts, forget the after cooler and stick with the "Stage 1" kit.

If you decide you want a smaller pulley or after cooler, it would require a lot more modding, like mentioned above.

basically flash pro with a custom tune, rear mount, catless dp, intake
