Have you ever wondered why a lot of people are getting away from building up naturally aspirated engines? Is there a better way than having to replace heads, cams shafts, intake manifolds and other expensive performance components to get big horsepower? I've built my share of fast cars over the years, one in particular was a mustang with a transplanted naturally aspirated big-block that made a solid 400 horsepower and got about 10 miles per gallon. I thought that car was the fastest thing around for a long time, until I was at a stoplight one day and a 94 small-block Camaro pulled up next to me. It really didn't sound like anything special, except it was making a slight howling noise from the exhaust, but I thought nothing of it. I really thought I was the king of the road, but was I in for a big surprise! The stoplight we were at seemed really long as I sat and shook and rattled as my killer big-block heated up more and more the longer we sat there.

The light turned green and I didn't really plan to race because I figured this boringly quiet Camaro wanted nothing to do with me. What happened next changed my opinion about superchargers forever! That Camaro took off so fast, before I knew we were racing he was already 5 car-lengths ahead, there was nothing I could do but wait and hopefully catch another light to try again. A few blocks later we caught a red light and I was ready to go this time! The light turned green and we were gone, this little small block killed me out of the hole and I couldn't catch him in any gear no matter what I did, he was winning, and winning big!! That seemingly stock Camaro kicked my rear end from start to finish!! After that embarrassment I had to stop this guy to find out his secret, and it was so simple it was sickening. All he had was a 350 with a forged crankshaft, rods and pistons with a set of rebuilt 202 camel hump heads and a very mild camshaft, oh ya he also had a Vortec centrifugal supercharger with a tiny overdrive pulley. To my surprise, that quiet little supercharged small block made well over 500 horsepower and he had far less money into his car than I did, I was sick to my stomach!

After that day I made the decision to sell my gas guzzling big block and buy a supercharger friendly short-block, with a set of basically stock heads, cam and a good aluminum intake. I decided to go with a inter-cooled Vortec centrifugal supercharger, I wanted to run the bigger under-drive pulley for normal driving, but i also purchased the smaller overdrive pulley with a flash tuner for when I wanted an extra 100 horsepower, I was hooked!! I never realized how bad I needed a supercharger until I had my pride handed to me by somebody that had one.

Going from the rough idling, gas guzzling big-block to the supercharged small-block was by far the best choice I made in a long time, the car didn't over-heat sitting at a light for too long anymore and had far better idle quality, not to mention it sure fooled a lot of people! In my opinion, forced induction is really the only way to go anymore with emissions standards the way they are, you get clean, reliable, comparatively cheap horsepower with very few problems. I give 2 thumbs up to forced induction for several reasons.

Honda Civic Si: From Hatchback to Sexy Sport Compact

As if the Honda Civic wasn't sexy enough from the beginning, the car manufacturer added a sports car version to its already successful line over 20 years ago. In 1984, the Honda Civic line added a sporty component, the Si, which stands for Sport Injected. The car was a hatchback with two-tone paint (your only choices being blue, black or red over gray), a power sunroof and sports seats.

Since then, the Honda Civic Si has evolved into a sexy four-door sedan. Here we follow its changes.

Early Days
It's hard to imagine a hatchback as sexy, but in the 1980s, a market of sport compact car enthusiasts emerged, giving the Si an instant fan base. But the Honda Civic Si wasn't just sporty in name alone. Its second generation, spanning from 1988 to 1991, featured hard-core options like a larger exhaust and front and rear anti-roll bars. The double wishbone suspension at all four corners and the lower wind drag made it a favorite of racing fans.

By 1992, the Honda Civic Si got Honda's legendary VTEC®  engine technology, which allowed drivers to go from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 8.9 seconds (a feature most drivers were eager to test out).

After a Brief Commercial Break…

The Si was AWOL from 1995 to 1999. Whether Honda planned to stop manufacturing the model completely and was swayed by Si enthusiasts to bring it back, or if the car manufacturer used those years to improve the model, one may never know. At any rate, in 1999, the Honda Civic Si returned, bringing with it a twin-cam VTEC® four-cylinder engine with 160 horsepower, a rarity at the Si's price point.

Those who paid attention noticed the improvements in the model:

• Improved intake manifold
• Low friction and high silicon pistons
• Larger throttle body
• Exhaust system with larger piping diameter

Some models of the Si offered anti-lock brakes, but Honda had not yet started pushing this on all models at this point.

Flash Forward
In 2006, Honda elected to move away from the hatchback model in favor of sophisticated sedan and coupe models. The 2006 model is the fastest of all Honda Civic Si models, with a 0-60 startup of 6.7 seconds.

The redesign of the Si allowed for the introduction of a 4-door model in 2007, which still brings all the sporty benefits of the Honda Civic Si, but in a more practical package for people with families.

Is the Catalytic converter for a Honda Civic, Ex 2001, part of the manifold?

no. it's part of the exhaust system and located near the muffler.
