Re: Gooch's-JDM B18C w/ JRSC+LHT build/issue thread
I got a JRSC kit last month, gonna go in in a couple months, after sending it LHT and getting a stepper pulley. Googled LHT GSR JRSC and found this thread. Went through it all in a few days and just wanted to say its been a great read! Been about a month since updates though, how are things?
Thanks for the poke, there have been quite a few over the years. I have the pics, just have to log it all. I'm on it.

CRV pulley (sandblast-paint-install)
Re-tune car at more boost (maybe 10+ lbs)
Parts List to Acquire:
Racing Seats
5 pt harnesses
Roll bar (welded in) or Roll cage -depending on money
Front splitter from SPM
Rims w/ race rubber or close to it.
custom 4-1 short tube header (kamikaze style but based off a generic RMF header)
Will keep the thread updated as I acquire parts and install.
I was started posting about that in another more integra specific forum, so some of the below is copy and pasted over into this thread.

I went with OMP WRC-R seats with the new covers for this year. Plus planted floor plate/ side mount brackets and Recaro sliders for both sides. That and the Autopower bar put me well past my original goal of under 2k, but I figure I will have this setup for some time and can always justify money spent on safety. I still need harnesses and all the hardware

Anyway I'm now pricing out harnesses and mounting for those. Anything I need to consider for that?

driver-side main hoop footing
passenger-side main hoop footing
passenger-side rear bar
driver-side rear bar
passenger side wheel well rear bar base plate-sealed
Unfortunately the North-East winters have been taking quite a toll on my car, all this rust on the exhaust and Omni powers will have to be sorted. More to come. Thanks for reading.

Hey ComptechGSRSC, it's going good.
I had a good few years flogging this car on several tracks from Mid-Ohio to VIR. I've been enjoying the supercharger a ton and haven't had much heat soak unless it's really hot and I'm doing multiple sessions back to back. I have all the parts to get the additional boost out of it (currently 6lbs,I have the B20 pulley which yields 10-12lbs) I just haven't put it in and had it retuned yet. I am experiencing a decent amount of oil leakage somewhere behind the JRSC and a soft clutch pedal which needs addressing. I think it may be the oil cooler sandwich plate. To be honest the past 2 years I have barely driven the car. She sits in storage, awaiting me to get a place to work on it, a real garage, no more driveways and sheds. Once that happens I may cage it and have some body work done.
This is one of the last times I had it out on track where I managed to record it.

Awesome video man, thanks for sharing that!!! Glad you’re able to get yours out and enjoy it to the fullest!!! I can’t even get mine to run without dying every 5 seconds. About to ditch the whole ignition setup and just use stock. It’s been a royal PITA for years. Haven’t truly enjoyed driving it since 2007 before 2 seperate tuners completely ruined it for me. 😞
i did get a ton of new stuff for it though! Pics attached. Haven’t installed any of it but i have it lol.

Nice to see the thread bump. Did you take care of the overheating issue? Mine ended up being a head gasket. Put some ARP Studs on and new OEM HG and fixed the problem. That track video is legit. Did you end up doing the hondata traction control setup? I couldn't see tracking my car with the amount of wheel-spin I get in the lower gears. What wheel and tire setup did you end up going with?
