Why aren't superchargers for GSR's able to be used on LS's?

Are there superchargers made to be used on either?

Was buying an LS a bad investment?

 

superchargers are bad investments in general.But the LS chargers are smaller than the LS's

 

The gsr and ls manifolds are different bolt patterns I believe.

 

bolt pattern....that is all

Care to elaborate a little on this?

 

for the price, a turbo is a much better investment.....

 

If you own an LS integra, and you havent bought a jrsc, don't. Buy a turbo, the M45 is a waste of time.

 

The LS uses the M45 blower and the bolt patterns are different. The M45 can make about 10psi before it becomes useless, and it's literally just a hot air blower.

The GSR/ITR use an M62 blower, bigger and can make more psi before it gets too hot.

If you have an LS, go turbo.

 

What about the Vortech V5?

I think this would only be true for someone trying to pump out as much power as possible. I, for one, would rather have less mainanence and hassle since I would only buy one for a little bit more of a power boost. In the long run, a turbo may end up costing more than a supercharger if one were to go for higher HP numbers.

My argument, however, may only be true for VTEC motors, since a B18b with JRSC would not produce nearly enough power to satisfy the amount invested.

The vortech is a centrifugal charger, which will have more top end since they utilize a step up gear, which can spin the charger as much as 10 times the engine's speed. The JRSC is a positive displacement supercharger where the spindles within the "blower" turns at the same RPM as the engine which gives it a feel of added cylinders since the gain is more linear.

 

i think the procharger would make good power too. but i haven't seen any with them. i'm thinking of building me motor with a procharger kit on there.

 

A centrifigual supercharger is not as efficient as a turbo, and it will probably cost more too. I firmly agree for Hondas, if you want a supercharger go with the Eaton M62, it gives great low end torque, and never dies off. These blowers are capable of making over 300 whp.....if you have the ***** to do it

"You can, but you're not unlocking the power difference. The VTEC head naturally flows more CFM, than the non-VTEC. Adding more CFM than your engine can breath will only increase your intake air temps, as the engine will not be able to process the additional air."

 

Just to set the record straight, a car and any associated parts you may buy to install on it is not an investment. It's an asset. With that in mind, no you didn't make a bad choice. You can make the LS just as powerful as the GSR. Just research ls/vtec if you really want the vtec part of the equation in there. Just do it right the first time is all I can say.
