Hey, I have a 2000 Civic SiR with 123000km on it. What is considered too
many miles to be supercharged? I know people say that you should start
with a healthy engine but is there a general rule in how many miles before
it is too late to boost?

I am looking at getting the street ver Jackson Racing Supercharger with (i
think) 6 psi pulley.

thanks

You should have no problem if your motor is sound... 6psi is only aprx a
30-40% increase in power.
Keep an eye on the amount of blow by from the rings .
