oke here is a story on how i built in a jrsc onto a crx vtec (b16a1).
it's not a tech story but more a kind of fustration relief

I am waiting for my Hondata intake gasket then i start installing my JRSC. I am going to install it while the motor is still out then put motor back in from the bottom. From everthing i have read I am anticipating a JRSC+CRX=pain in the ***.

not really difficult more figuring out alot, if you do it like that remeber that the pully's need a lot of space to get in there you might want to remove the brakebooster and the brakeline's.
keep in mind that youre wil find some clearance issues and little problems here and there.

still after i got done the troubles where just noting compared to the fun youre gone have, i just love a little tourqe.
next step wil be a stepper pully and liquid to air cooler and better fuelling system bigger fuelpump wallbro 255 intank.....and so on.

How do you put a water to air intercooler on a roots type jrsc. the only way would be to cool the air before its compressed which is kinda pointless.

dutchmikkel

not really you can make a few tubes in the manifold that will cool down the air before it comes in the engine.
look at this webpage so you got an idea........btw its a dutch dude also....

i remember the first time I installed a jrsc, and it was tough.
Now after doing it about a dozen times, it's a 2 hour job.


I'm glad you like the jrsc. It must be a blast with the b16 and light crx chassis.

from 1 to 60 miles on gtech 6,5 sec not bad at all (i know its a gtech but it gives us an idea), just fully standard engine and interieur only openair intake nothing more and 6 psi boost.
its funny when a scooby (subaru) is standing next to you, they are very disepointed in there own car.....

Good call.
I have a WRX and a jrsc GSR, and the WRX is reliable, fun, comfy, but I beat a street bike last night in my GSR up to 160kmh. The WRX could never do that.

bump up the boost with a B20 crank pulley and watch as the speedo climbs really damn fast.

dutchmikkel

year i like that but with more boost comes more heat, so first things first i want a liquid to air cooler before going higher in boost it needs too be daily driven or else my wife is killing me

my god, that story just put a lump in my throat.. I have an ef8 crx, and I have a jackson racing supercharger. This is going to be a royal pain in the ***.

What did you do about the rpm going up and down from idle to 3000?

Whats the effects of not having a fast idle valve? I dont like the idea of taking things off like that that obviously had a purpose. would changing the ecu to an odb1 ecu take care of this problem? eg does the odb1 ecu's have this built into the ecu?

you are correct: if you convert to OBD1, not having a fast idle valve will not be a problem since OBD1 vehicles do not use one. instead, they control cold idle through the IACV. also, not having a fast idle valve on an OBD0 vehicle isn't that bad. it basically means you will have to hold your foot on the throttle for 30 seconds or so when cold until the motor stabalizes.

it seems to be an vacuumleak between the blower and intakemanifold, i gues i have to remove everything again and closed again .....well it's a hobby .
i think my engine is going to be rebuild again there is some dirt in my cooland looks like oil so i thing the head is gone .
maybe he's just to old i dont know (well nice to see that he run 160.000 miles
)

when you're bolting the manifold to the blower, be sure you use some hondabond or permatex liquid gasket between all mating surfaces (between blower and gasket and manifold and gasket, etc).

good call.
A bit of loctite on the bolts won't hurt either. I killed a blower when one of those stupid Allen bolts came loose. Everything stopped spinning at about 6500 rpm with some of the scariest sounds I've ever heard.

dutchmikkel

damn thats bad ...mine are put in with some loctide .
will see when there is time to repair it all not soon i think do
