Hey guys, searched the forums, checked the FAQ, but no luck. I'm looking to run a JRSC with all the fancy upgrades, the 440cc injectors, Hondata s300, different pulleys, etc. I have a stock 98+ B18C R from the merry land of japan, and I was wondering if you guys with GSR or Type R set ups like mine used the Hondata s300 from Jackson racing, and if the map that comes with it is any good, or if I should just plan on having the car tuned.

I'll most likely run the 6lb pulley for a while, eventually I plan on buying a water/meth kit (cheaper than LHTs intercooler, not to mention I get to carry around Boost Juice ) and going up to the 11lb pulley. I'm pretty sure once I start throwing the meth in I'll have to get tuned regardless, I was just wondering if I'd be fine on the stock map while I cruise around on 6lbs.

My car is strictly a Daily Driven Autocrosser, no interest in drag racing, but I may do some track days at sebring and moroso in the future. I looked into a Full Race Turbo kit with 330s an s300, tune, etc and it ended up being almost $3,000 more than the JRSC set up, so I'm going with the blower unless I win the lottery.

 

the map will most likely work, and may work well, but every engine has different needs, a true dyno tune will never hurt.

 

Thats what I figured, like I said once I go meth I fully intend on being dyno and street tuned. I was just wondering if Hondata fixed the lean throttle tip in problems that used to plauge the JRSCs, as long as the map from JR will handle 6lbs on a daily basis with no risk to the engine. I would hate to lose my engine because I was too lazy to save up and do it all at one time.

 

anyone else?

 

you dont need to get a s300 its expensive close to $650 plus to get it tuned another $400 i'm running a jrsc and ima get mine tuned with a program called ectune search the name and read up a little. the map sensor will work fine but a true tune is a must and for future advice you might wanna change the pistons and ring when i put on my supercharger on my way to get it tuned it busted all of my ringlands and i wasnt even punching it im rebuilding now . get some low compression pistons and new rings

 

oops sorry i thought u meant the map sensor, yes the stock map they would send you would be ok but get it tuned anyways plus you'll get the most hp from tuning

 

I'm buying the High boost kit, it comes with 3 pulleys, the Hondata s300, and injectors, for only about $1000 more than the base kit. I know alot about ECTune, but I dont want to change my pistons. I like my 11.1 compression ratio
