well if your going with a supercharger, that means you can still get a exhaust, headers and high flow cat because they will all be useful. also on a supercharged car(running a screw supercharger) a bigger throttle body makes a big difference, so you can upgrade that later on too.  

Why don't you try to find both a turbo prelude and then a supercharged prelude then test drive them; pick out the one that you like the best then supercharge or turbo your car. If it was me though I'd forget the super/turbo and go the N/A route shoot for 250hp and gut out the interior, then turbocharge it latter on in life when I would have the money. With the 250hp from the N/A mods and the turbo the motor will make over 300hp which will be to much hp for me and I'll go back to N/A.......... but thats just me.  

well my car is going to be a daily-driven car, and i'd like it to look nice, so no gutting . Then i think it'll be pretty hard to first of all find a turbo prelude and a superchared prelude, annnnnd thenn after that the owner has to let me drive it, a random person??, and that won't happen. so there goes that.

Civicking,
What about getting the EVO2 exhaust, because isn't that one specialized for supercharged/turbo cars. and then i was thinking about the aem v2, and dc 4-2-1, do you think that'll work?  

You won't know until you look for the turbo/supercharged prelude and you don't have to drive it the owner can drive it. If you use the dc header your going to have to go the supercharger route.  

the evo to is a good exhaust on thing i don't like about is is that the pipes are mild steal, try a full stainless steel exhaust, maybe thermal, apexi or something like that. the dc sports is a great header, if your going to use that you will need to go supercharged but that's how i would go. also the v2 is good just make sure that you don't suck in water.  

how much would a full supercharger be?

i don't want to get old junkyard parts.  

for a SH equipped H22 engine: $2,995

thats for the jackson racing unit shown in Civicking's post, earlier  

I don't know, is there anything i could do that would cost less but still give good power going all engine?  

well lets think about it like that for that 3000 you get about 80hp that comes out to be $37.50 per hp, while if you did an IHE intake about 250, header about 500 and good exhaust about 600 that's a total of about 1350 and you would get about 30hp that's about $45 per hp and I'm being generous on how much power you would actually get realistically it would be more in the 20-25 range. then you can add a set of cams, about $700 that's maybe another 20hp so that's what 2050 and 50hp, about $41 per hp and you will never get the torque you would with a supercharger. now the fun comes in because all of these parts can work together then cams, intake, exhaust header and supercharger. with all of these put together you can easily gain about 130-150hp for about $5050 and that comes out about $33 -$35 per hp.

It sounds like you'd be better off, for now, going with I/H/E and enjoying the car for what it does. Throw some handling bits at it, going around corners is more fun in a front driver than going straight.

The only reason I reccomend this is because if you think the $2,995 supercharger system is a little much, you won't have to money to do it right.  Rarely does anything cost as much as it says... even with exhausts you have to get new gaskets, then general maintenance for the car... really cheap stuff, but it adds up.  Plus, how are you going to install it? Only can you go with a cheap (custom built) turbo setup if you REALLY know what you're doing.  You'll be suprised with how much you like your car with the n/a and handling mods.  

Well, actually i have enough money for the supercharger alone... thats the problem. I wouldn't be able to get anything else and thats why i was thinking getting the IHE upgrade first then getting the exhaust, i just wouldn't want to have to buy new upgraded upgrade parts when i'm able to get the supercharger. The installation, well i know a mechanic who won't charge me to help me install it, rather he'd install it and i'd help since i don't know what i'm doing. i'd just like some parts that i wouldn't have to change once i got the supercharger, some prefrences? i'd like to know of some springs also. thanks.  

then you can go with a the IHE and wait on the supercharger no big deal really. for springs what do you plan on doing with the car mostly a street car or will you be taking it to the track, also are you more for comfort or performance?  

this is going to be a street car. i want both, lol i know... ummm hmm that is a difficult one, what are some options and could you give me whether they are comfortable or performance orientated.  

for comfort you can go H&R OEM springs(.75" drop all around) and tokico illumina shocks or tein luxury (.8F/.7R" drop) and bilstein shocks.

for a little more performance and less comfort you can use the tokico or bilstein shocks but go with tanabe df210 (1.25F/1.00R drop) springs or h&R sport springs (1.4F/1.4R drop)

for even more performance and less comfort you can go with H&R racing springs (2.0F/1.8R drop) and use tokico illumina / bilstein.

now we go into the more performance area, these will be coilovers, really not too go for a street car but much better for a racing car, the first is the Tein basic, comes with everything you need.

next for more performance is the tanabe pro s-s

for even more performance and even less comfort you can have the tein driving spec control master type-FLEX

next for even more performance and less comfort is the JIC magic FLT-A2 inverted mono tube system

now after these we really dive into the world of racing, these will have to be custom made for your car and the prices are big, the systems in order of how good they are range from ok to best; ground control, nitron racing, pro-formance shocks inc; and lastly the ultimate racing suspensions penske and ohlins.

well thats it, if you need anymore info just ask. also don't for get that you will need a camber kit for almost all of these and for the coilovers to get full advantage you will need to also do corner weighing.  

Are you going to race at the stadium?
