Hey guys,

I have a 1998 ITR (#1085), mostly stock right now. 50K miles. I do some driving schools and occasional autocross. I used to autocross more but haven't made time for it.

I was thinking about a JSRC @ 8 or 11 PSI (with injectors, Hondata ECU etc.). Seems like a straightforward way to go. King Motorsports is in the area so I'd probably go through them.

Looking throught the posts, it sounds like damn near all of you guys are running Turbos though, and it sounds like they all make more power than the JRSC setups. Would I be an idiot to spend $5000-$6000 for only 230-250 HP at the wheels? Can I get a reliable 300 HP for mostly street and occasional track for a good price with the B18C5?

Thanks for advice. Sorry for being a n00b. This has surely been debated to death before but I couldn't find a link to a SC vs. Turbo post.

Turbo is the way to go with 11 pounds on a supercharger you would be in the 250-260 area, and with turbo you should be easily over 300. Roughly the same price as well.

yay for search:

i dont understand superchargers on our engines...just silly i suppose. anyway, find a good matched turbo for your engine and start researching. id personally lower your c/r a little bit though.

 

Turbo that Type R

it will be like "what is a supercharger"

 

do it right and go turbo . did my own kit for ALOT less than 3K$

 

Try searching for "JRSC turbo" "turbo supercharger" and similar concepts. Make sure you check archived posts as well.

Sorry dude, just cant go over this debate every other week
