Which One Is Better For The Honda Prelude Sh Supercharger Or Turbo?

4 Comments 28 August 2009

The Super Handling feature will not work properly with any forced induction. To put it lightly, it will freak out.

    The supercharger takes h/p to make h/p. the turbo uses the exhaust to make h/p so you don’t lose any thing

    the turbo is better .with a supercharger ur stuck .but with a urbo u can get upgradesm,intercoolers,blow off valve,and make more power

    It really depends on what you plan on doing with it. Is it just a daily driver? Is it a drag racer? Will you be doing auto cross or track racing? Really a turbo’s higher potential for power and better top end will work the best for all of these except auto cross. Auto cross has very little room and tight corners, so the instant response a supercharger gives would be better for that. I’d go with a turbo if you want power, a supercharger if you want response. The downside of a supercharger is it will train torque during normal driving sinces it’s creating a parasitic drain on the crank pulley, so it’ll feel like you always have the AC on until you nail the throttle down. Make sure with either setup to use ONLY 91 octane fuel or better…again, good luck with your project.

    turbo always has more potential, so i suggest the turbo. but turbo systems have boost lag (+ backpressure issues) and the blower is mechanically coupled to the engine so it does not have a delay when the throttle is pushed, but then again the blower has parasitic horsepower losses being coupled to the crankshaft. Turbo has superior compressor efficiency and spins the turbine by making use of that 30% of fuel energy that dumps out your of your exhaust stream. the Jackson Racing roots type blower is pretty good on the prelude and you can also save yourself some money with that if you already got Headers and an aftermarket intake (these would have to be discarded with a turbo setup)
