From what i saw with the guys here a SC is a great start, is not "that expensive" and still runs smooth in low RPM's, as long you have a good installer/TUNER you can even use your stock clutch, a better clutch though may help, + better tires, now if you throw an intercooler you'l put more power, there's a cool video here

that pretty much shows the differences, i think a basic supercharger is more than enough, i mean, is not like you gonna race cars every single day since your S is cour commuter car, =), but as far as i know if you have your car FI you'll need to tune often to keep it running good/smooth.

you mean that after adding a turbo or S/C your car only drives in a straight line after that .
Im not saying that, im saying that an NA car can very well dominate vs a Boosted one on an AUTO X or on a time attack track

Check the boards, theres quite a bit of people here tracking their car and boosting 10psi.
Yea im aware of that, and thats a route they choose to go when they built there motor but im sure that if they are using to Auto X its at low boost

but if your gonna use a japanese car for a drag race, the last thing i would use is a Honda.

that's all bs imo... it depends on how you build the car and if you know how to drive it right.

someone who's going build a turbo car explicitly for autocrossing is not going to go with something extremely laggy or something that will be too much trouble to deal with transitioning in and out of boost. stock turbo cars do fine so i don't see why a turbo s2k with the right turbo application wouldn't perform well in an autocross or road course. it's not like the handling goes out the window once u go boost on a car.

you can drag race any car... it doesn't have to be an eg or a popularly raced car. the task is the same for any car... make it fast and get it to hook (without breaking shit lol). once again... all a matter of how you build it... and when i say build i mean everything from the right suspension to gearing to turbo sizing, etc.

I agree with you, going turbo does not automatically mean you will have lag, Evo can upgrade to pretty much 3 or 4 diff turbos(20g,garret 3070,50trim) and still outperform most cars at any local auto cross event. I wouldn't say put a 35r on the s2k if your overall goal is to autocross. We are forgetting this set up is for Agi and her main purpose for more power is to beat my evo Just spray girl you will have me . She doesn't drag the car she just wants something with more power so no1 messes with her like oh its a slow honda (cocky drivers).

btw: ams,buschur evos are 500whp or more and kick ass in almost every circuit event now 500whp thats a 35r and some other power mods, i guess the lag still is not that big of a deal if they still get 1st place.

yeah actually i reread what i quoted and you were kinda saying the same thing. i just quoted the last post u made but it was really in response to the previous post u made:

Im pretty sure this this will destroy your life and that other guy you speak of that spends $4000


Not to mention its NA (All motor for those that dont know)
Lets keep in mind that our cars (FOR THE ONES THAT ACTUALLY OWN ONE) was not made to go in a straight line.

If you want to race in a straight line, go get yourself an EG hatch and through a K20 in it and BOOST the shit out of it. Or even go out and get yourself a muscle car with a 357, a 457, 420, w/e most popular number block they have for them(Personaly i dont know to much about Domestics but w/e).. ..and use that to drag race.
