Im just trying to get an idea of how much power you can make approximatly with a Jackson Racing Supercharger without spending as much money as a decent turbo setup. Normally JRSC push 6-8psi right? How much do you think I could push without having to add $1000 of dollars of parts to keep it in one peice?

I think if you already have i/h/e then you should see results of up to 240whp if not, then expect to see from 200 to 220. This is from what i have seen online. Good luck

Question I've been curious about is how much POWER can I make with the JRSC?

And I'm talking about pulling out all the stops, maybe sending the unit off to Endyn or something and basically puching the JRSC to its limit.
Anyone know somebody who's done this?

put it on and dyno to find out

Best I've seen is 230-240ishwhp

I looked at the JRSC before for my 5g. It cost around $3,000 new. Take in mind this is without fuel managment (you will want to get atleast 550cc injectors to run higher boost). It also doesnt include your intercooler or piping. So I say this to you, think carefully about this. I also know someone that was runing 14 psi with his JRSC and he told me to go turbo because the JRSC can break. Its a belt that gives you the powa...which can snap and give ya some engine problems. I would recomend you buying a cevlar belt. So all in all you will spend about $5,000 on your supercharger getting it installed and all other stuff. So I think you wight want to consider going turbo. But remember if this is what you want you do it. There is a girl that goes to my school that has one and I have been in her car. She also has a vtec controler .... OMG !

i personaly would go turbo>supercharger anyday. but thats just my opinion. i just feel you can make more power with a good turbo setup than supercharging. and the price of a supercharger for what you are going to get for power isnt worth it to me.

but back on topic. i know a guy who had bolt ons with his jrsc. on about 9psi i believe he ended up making about 250whp. but he also tuned on Neptune. so the price that jackson racing offers you, isnt the end of the expenses.

theres a guy on PO who made ~290whp with a JRSC and neptune

what was his name? we might be talking about the same guy ... i think the guy i know ended up making more, (possibly 290whp) but 250 was the last for sure number i heard.

But hey if you want a "safer" set-up you might want to supercharge. You dont have to worry too too much about compersion ratios and stuff. You can basicaly buy that thing and put it and start driving. Instant horsepowa. Turbos gotta spool and sometimes when you shift, you gotta spool again. These cars however are owned mostly by dummies that think a bigger turbo is better. So sure... you can have 400hp or so in your (insert car?) but at 6000rpms... what good is that. So ya... turboing your going to have to do alot of calculations and research. It was absolutly shocked sitting in that girls car 300hp at the crank on a 3000 pound car is awsome. You will beat most cars daily. JRSC FTW

JRSC is not intercooler compatible

Moderators Owned Me

Hmmm... I think hes right, because that girls lude didnt have a intercooler in the front. I thought it was side mounted. Nice info. But then again... how was it possible for that dude to run like 14psi? hmm is it possible?

Greg H

i think if your car is tuned well it can last a long time whether its turbo'd or not. i think that a turbo'd prelude ect at 300 hp is going to be just as safe as a jrsc prelude at 300 hp. you still have to consider the tuning of both set ups. a poor tune or no tune on either set up will probably end up bad.

98vtec

boost is boost. You gotta deal with the same issues with a supercharger as with a turbo. And you also have to deal with heatsoak with a JRSC which significally drains power. Water injection would be a nice addition.

connvict

I would still be interested to see if a jrsc would make more than 300+ whp.

The bastard would prob break though beyond 10k rpms, but i'd still like to find out......

Anyone want to donate one?!?! I'll donate the built motor......

I agree. boost is boost is a great way of putting it. you are throwing something at a stock motor it was not built for.

vinuneuro

JRSC'd prelude isn't going to make it to 300whp, one would need to be around 12psi to get there, but heatsoak would be insane. If I were JRSC'ng for serious power, I'd up compression to 10.5-11.0 with forged pistons + watercool + tune the hell out of it at 9psi.

Moderators Owned Me

I kid you not he was running over 14psi and he said something around 350 whp. I would love to get you guys a dyno sheet, I will ask him.

Greg H

super charging a prelude for any kind of higher hp number seems way pricey that is the biggest reason i turbo'd my prelude. i made really good power, and by the sounds of prices, i am right around the same as a really good jrsc setup.

connvict

................already have the 10.5:1 compression forged piston motor.....

why would you rev to 10k rpm? I think JRSC is just nice for a someone wanting power over stock with little to no trouble's... anything significant is boost or full N/A support and R&D isn't there for the JRSC.... not that it CAN'T be done...

connvict

Up to 10-11k rpms just means theres that much more room to make power and build boost......
..And I agree that the JRSC is a good option for someone wanting to just bolt on some good horsies.

I just want to see if I can blow one up.

darkspector2.0

you can rev an h22 up to 10-11k? what is your setup...

connvict

Full crower valvetrain
ARP headstuds
Arias 10.5:1
Crower rods
......thats pretty much the stuff that counts.
