Hey! Did a search, got nada...Here's the Q:

Got a '91 civic dx w/b16...Can I fit a vortech s/c (99-00 SI) in there without any crazy modifications? If there is any custom fab. what specifically, and how difficult/expensive will it be?

Of course I'm willing to hear any input/suggestions, or better yet has anyone done or even seen this?

Thanks for your time.

 

hmm..I want to hear the answer to this one too...I am guessing you should be able to fit a supercharger/turbo charger on there, although that one specificaly, I don't know...though I want to get a DRAG turbocharger once I get my engine put on there....

 

jackson ofcourse, i havent heard about a kit from vortec?...i would go with a jackson,.

 

The jackson is a POSSIBLE consideration, the biggest downside being a MAJOR lack of upgradability.
But if anyone has any info on either SC set up, I'm interested...especially if you've upped the boost. Being able to reasonably upgrade is an important requirement.

BTW This is a daily-driver...don't really care about running at the track, slicks, etc...But I want it as fast as possible on the street, full interior, to the limit of the street tires with the ease of maintenance/reliability of a SC...

Blown90Hatch...From what I gathered in my supercharger forum search you previously had a SC in your EF. Is that with a B16 swap? if so...What's the scoop? Manufacturer? PSI? 1/4? Daily driven? Dyno?
Sorry to ask so many questions of you particularly, but I'd love to hear from someone that actually has experience with it.

Thanks a lot!

 

im sure if you tried to use the vortech supercharger you would have to move the battery to the trunk

 

Anyone know if you can JRSC a LS/B16 in a EF motor bay, people are telling the side mount gets in teh way. This true?

 

Thats on my list of things to try eventually. From looking at it, i think the only major obstacle is getting the power steering pump to fit with the bracket assembly that the kit uses. Also, a slimline radiator fan is a must. Battery is obviously going to have to go to the trunk, and i think the non-ic kit is the way to go due to lack of room for that air to h20 cooler. I think the GSR kit will fit better than the Si kit will because it places the charger about an inch closer to the distributor (to clear the abs module on the gsr). So once i get some more money way later on ill post again whether it worked or not

Here is what I had. Stock B18c with New HCP mount kit with the JR @ 12-13 psi. Full street driven everyday to college 2.25 hr drive everyday. It laid around 315...I cant remember exact #s but somewhere are there. The car was sick on the street. It ran 12.7 on street tires with a 2.5 60' time. It just smoked the tires down the track. I wish that I could have ran it with the slicks. I dont remember to many people beating me on the street. I loved that thing man. IF you have a B16a motor in your car...get the kit for the ITR. The blower pulley is bigger and less boost...but it sits the JR under the MAster cylinder. I have nothing but Total love for the JR. I am only going turbo in hopes to have a 10 sec street legal/drivable honda.

This is not true. It will fit no problem. If you have any questions about the Hasport kit IM Brian G. He is the HAsport expert/representitive on here.
