I am about to swap a B 16a2 engine with a supercharger into my 98 hatch and I want to know if it is ok to use it as a daily driven car. I will probably be puttin about 100 miles a day. Do you think this will damage the engine. I will be running it at 5 Pounds. Or should I buy a hooptie to drive to work. Will keep you guys posted with pics. Swaping it on saturday. Open to honest opions and any feedback.
What mods do u think I should do to run good.
Also ive been thinkin of selling the Supercharger and goin turbo or

2-23-04 I am getting the b16 droped today. My macanic said I needed some other things for my supercharger. But he is getting them. Should be done by tomorrow night. I have a question how do I post pics on threads?
What time do You think my car should do with 5pounds on the J.R. Quartermile? Stock internals.

As long as you don't redline the entire way there you should be fine.

jdmgeorge

id say drive it...5lbs aint much at all you should be fine....my buddy got a pretty much stock wrx with boost up to 16psi and he drives daily about 100 miles just dont beat on it too much or nuthing

TwoSaints

hes not driving a wrx, a car that is made for boost...

Supercharged b16 on a 98hatch

B16Drag

I should just slap you for making that comment.

A B16 engine is not the same engine that is in the WRX which is made for boost.

B16 with 5lbs supercharged should be fine as a daily driver just dont get too happy with it if u dont have it tuned correctly

you will be fine driving it as long as you dont beat on it the whole time

quarterout

you will be fine, i put a jr on my buddys 00si with the 6lb pulley, and he drove every day to and from boise to mountain home air force bse. which is like 55-60 miles one way, never had a problem in the two years he was here

HAHAHAHHAHAHAH !

As long is it's tuned it shouldn't be a problem. I know one guy with 50k+ miles on his JRSC'd Si coupe without any problems.

NuG050

You should be OK...even with a un-tuned engine, you should be fine. Tests were performed with a stock B16 and the stock supercharger and it was driven back and forth from Westminster to the Bay Area and back and at various points, under full throttle for quite a bit...oh, you'll be fine, too, with pump-gas...don't worry about it...JC's "regular" SC units are built to take the abuse of everyday use...it's minimal boost, too...

TwoSaints

what kind of times are you expecting with the super charger?

eg360B

i DONT KNOW REALLY. I think i am goin to sell the supercharger and go Turbo. What do u think? or

Electron Si

Kind of a personal preference on the SC or turbo, but truthfully, I have an Si, and I'm planning on going turbo, won't drive it that much every day, but as long as you don't drive the **** out of it, you should be fine. Keep us posted on how the swap goes.

B_Something

The guy who helped me with my swap had a GSR swapped EG with a JRSC. He was running about 10psi, for about three years. He drove that car every day, to the track atleast twice a month, and beat the **** out of all of us. It finally dropped a cylinder after three years. You should be fine, just get the car tuned and keep the maintenance up. Good Luck.
