motor swap
Yeah you will spend WAYYYYYYYYYYY too much money trying to make it work, and you are gonna run into countless problems across the way. Its soooo much more than just "dropping" it in. You are gonna spend like 8 grand (if you arent doing it yourself) or more trying to make it work. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT.

Putting anyting different into the RA is a bad idea. The 2.4 MIVEC is a great engine. If you don't like the RA then sell it and get an EVO. I obviously have access to both cars, and the RA is fast, but the EVO is like a different car. The same stretch I take my girl's RA to 80 I can get there in the EVO up to 110 and still stop to turn on the street I need to go. The RA doesn't like to brake as nicely, but it still does it.

There's another person swapping a civic engine into his. Go buy a b18 engine and put that in. Another very popular swap is an LS2 with a modified shortblock and radiator extension to fit that baby in. It bolts right in. Another swap that only three people have done is an M-35 swap...But man that thing gets going! There's a guy selling on ebay... check it out and good luck man.

You'll be runnin 8's with that setup
They completely lowball the supercharger.
With over 500 CFM, this powerful supercharger will create up to 2.1 psi - all at the flick of a switch. And even though powerful, it will not damage your engine with overwhelming pressure - no bent/broken rods, no blow-by, no detonation - it is completely safe for your car's engine. Just flip the cockpit mounted switch at full throttle, and the powerful supercharger capable of running over 8000 rpm will supply your engine with all of the boost it will need. No need for a boost controller, or other expensive gadgetry - everything you need is in the kit. This supercharger's results have been tested with a precision accelerometer - don't be surprised to see your 0-60, 60ft, and quarter mile times decrease - and a double digit horsepower and torque increase.
They lowball majorly on the hp incrase. It actually adds a couple hundred horsepower
