Here is the debate. Should I get a H22 with a Nitrous setup or a GSR with JRSC? My main goal is to go to the track on *occassion* and run high 12s. Otherwise I want to drive around town and on the highway with some level of reliability. I am not the billy bad *** type to wants to rev on every Camaro and Mustang. I just want the best of both worlds, which is to have a reliable ride and be able to run some good times at the track.

I want to spend in the neighborhood of $5000 on my swap, so if any of you have any experience please give me your opinions.

Thank you

You could buy and build a full H22 swap to run those times all motor with that kind of dough! Screw the Nitrous.

i was gonna recommend JRSC GSR till i saw ur buget then you have no other choice but the second.......Keep the bottle full........

and to be honest IMO NOS sucks cause it may make you fast but hurt more then you think in the long run

gsr with plate kit.

boostedcivicsir

either one will hurt the engine the same way if not properly tuned...

prjctCIVIC

i think they have a h22 plate system...not sure if its out yet

Jon Black

I think you can do an GS-R with a used JRSC for $5000. The JRSC units are on eBay all the time for around $1500. I know I will have other expenses, but the $5000 is just a number that I would be happy starting around.

Thanks

H22 swap without cutting corners -~4K

Some basic headwork, and some sweet dyno tuning ~1500

12's all day long, very reliable, and all motor!

nos is for pussies, imo. takes no skill or effort. riciest mod possible.

93eg-EKhybrid

juice or NOS as so many people like to put it, is not a rice mod. It is a fabulous mod for people that know how to use it and tune with it. What makes it a rice mod is the little punks that only put nitrous on their cars and think that they are billy badass and go revving on people all the time and using it on the street. There is a difference.

AND YOU'RE A LOSER>
Takes just as much tuning skill and effort as any turbo or supercharger if not more. Shows what you know.

WangChung

just my opinion dude, chill. i didnt say everyone with nitrous is a ricer.

this is how i think of it . . . if a guy is a bodybuilder and is strong as **** without steroids, thats more respectable than some scrawny bitch using steroids. ya get what i mean?

My man's got a 01 GSR w/ JRSC @ 5psi running 13.9
I think that it is highly doable if you swap the B18C1 into your car which is significantly lighter, w/ JRSC and run a low 13.
To hit high 12s, you'll need to run at a low altitude track, w/ good traction a great launch @ 9psi.

Well when i was running N20 on my Prelude 5th gen. The 50 shot wet kit took off a full second in the 1/4. And that is on a 3000lb car. There is no reason that a h22 civic should not hit mid 13's. And then add a small 50 shot...12's?!
The H22 will be fast enough for daily driving and adding the N20 for the track

The h22 and n20 is a great setup!! I say go with it!



but then again i might be a little partical.

ImportechPerformance

not what i would reccomend but i just sounds like you would be happy with the h22 and a 50 shot...it just sounds better for you from what i got.

RyanEJ8

Actually you did basically say everyone with nitrous is a ricer. If it is the riciest mod possible I would consider everyone who has it a ricer, because I think everyone with 12" wings are ricers. I guess I shouldn't pick on you when your only 16 years old, you probably don't have much experience and don't know the first thing about tuning and nitrous.

be easy on him for the age, but you still owned him. haha

ajchen

silly teenagers.

bodybuilding and car building are two different things. lamest analogy eVar.

BackSideSA

hell... i'd say some good headwork and tuning to the H22 with a some good suspension will get you in the 12's

Newman

Put it this way.... about a year ago some guy with a JRSC B18C coupe wanted to race me really bad. He lined up against my H22 hatch at the races twice (and I wasn't using any NOS). Bottomline, I smoked him off the line, and continued to pull on him afterwards. It was a sad race. Don't know if his car wasn't running right or not, or if he couldn't drive, but easily 6+ cars on him right off the bat. Bottomline, a H22 hatchback has the potential to smoke a JRSC B18C Civic pretty easily.

Pat McGroin

Hah, good stuff. I think after that we know what he wants to do. You should see the guy who posted a video not to long ago only spraying a 35 shot. He was owning a lot of mustangs and high end cars.

rodimus

that's cool u won and everything but what was his setup? i'm assuming you mean
he had a civic coupe? what other mods did he have besides the jrsc...
and what's your setup...also rim and tire combination..? any other people in the
car? ...hmm..how about a jrsc H22? =P

There are all sorts of stupid replies on this thread...

You stupid bastard. Who the hell are you to tell us what is ricey and what isnt? Arent you the winner that bought the pacesetter header and cat? You are young and uneducated and your car is nothing special either. Don't go knocking on other peoples **** when you don't have a reason.. unless u've swapped ur engine urself or built up ur own turbo kit, don't even think about talking about skill or effort.

Umm, no. The average jrsc'ed b18c puts down about 230whp/150ftlbs.. thats not gonna be "smoked" very easily by an h22 with just a mildly built NA setup.
