i was thinking about supercharging my 01 prelude vtec with a jackson racing supercharger. i was just wondering how much power you think it would put out?

 

I think they have dyno charts posted on their website. I think.

 

~200whp

 

Ive seen them put out between 200whp and 250whp... A buddy of mine is making 225whp with just the basic 6lb pully and some bolt ons...

 

Search, there are atleast a dozen threads about JRSC with power info/dynos.

Check my sig too.

 

defenatly between 200 and 250hp. Do it!

 

well i searched and all i could find was old archived things about how a prelude beat a supercharged ls. but anyways i was wondering too, if i run them both on stock internals, which is safer, a supercharger or turbo. i wouldnt be running more than 8 psi anyway. probably 6 psi daily and 8 whenever i need it. but im going to leave my bottom end stock and was just wondering if either one of them is safer to run on stock internals?

 

I don't think one or the other is inherently 'safer'. In either case, you need quality engine management and good tuning to keep the motor from blowing up.

alright so i should get a standalone like hondata. does anyone know how much hondata runs for?

See what going to JRSC's site allows?


Prelude owners can have the best of all worlds - lots of engine displacement, VTEC technology and JR's top-of-the-line supercharger system. With a handful of standard performance upgrades, this combination will put almost 235hp to the pavement. Like all Jackson Racing supercharger systems, the Prelude system has been tuned to deliver outstanding performance while meeting all emissions and operating in various climate conditions on premium pump fuel. By adding JR's new VPAC, a VTEC controller that allows you to adjust VTEC activation from 2,500-6,000rpm with a **** from inside the car, the power curve can be adjusted to suit your driving style. With almost 200ft. lbs. of torque on tap the toughest part will be getting all of the power to the ground. C.A.R.B. # D-344-8.

 

the lack of possible boost spikes IMO makes a supercharger safer than a turbo.

 

wonder what the max power can be expected ou tof this kit ..i love throttle responce and would look to this before a turbo ...although a turbo has higher limits.

small superchargers are known to be the most eficnt when bossted above 9psi ...but i would like to hear for some one who has tried

 

jackson is the suck.

You need to back up your statements, and not just throw empty words around.

 

what causes a boost spike?

 

i think it would have been great if it had some sort of intercooler

why the hell didnt vortech make a kit for the ludes they a bunch of haters

 

Well when I was looking into a JRSC I thought I remember reading something about how it just wasn't worth it to raise it above 9psi because the intake temps were really high.

 

I'm pretty sure there's a way to put an intercooler on a SC application.....I just saw one a few days ago on that supercharged Cobalt &lt;--but i'm not sure if it came that way. It had a nice *** intercooler....didn't hear any spooling from it.....they have other methods of cooling like water injection and that (gas) thing.....&lt;---nitrogen?? something like that

 

Water/Meth injection is the only option for the JRSC on a lude.

Ehhh, so far that's not working out well for me at all.

 

it woulnt be hard to add a water to air intercooler ...but would that cool the charge enough before its compressed in the super charger ?

 

Unless it was running icewater, and air/water cooler before the blower would be useless, as the cooler would not be able to get the air temp lower than ambient.

does anyone know anthing more about the water injection?

Very true. moving up from the 6psi pully to the endyne 9psi pully (actully only a 2psi jump). I only gained 12hp, but I gained 25 ft-lbs!!! The peak hp came 250 rpm sooner. That tells me the blower is just blowing hot air at high rpm's. I wouldn't go higher than 9psi. I know the motorvations pulley boosts another 1-1.5psi more than the endyne pulley.
