i doubt 400hp honestly, a centrifugal supercharger on a 4cyl like that is the dumbest thing ive ever seen, it really is a horrible setup. so im calling BS on the 400hp, ive seen a supercharger on a gsr and it didnt do anything at 8psi.

+1...8 psi on a sub 2.0L engine is nothing...theoretically like a 3.0 N/A engine at best! Also, the amount of money it takes to get a Honda up to 400whp is many times more than most any other car. Honda's rely on light weight to make up for their lack of torque and impressive HP numbers

It could have been a positive displacement Roots type blower. they produce much more bottom end tq than a centrifugal type.
