can you even use the stock intake?
Thanks.

 

what car, what year?

I would say yes as the JRSC'ers are made for stock engines.

 

oh yeah, '99 Prelude base. I would think so too, just want to make sure.

 

I've searched everywhere and cannot find anything. I would suggest getting a cold air or short ram intake as you would have better airflow.

 

yeah it'd make a few more hp, but i want it to be as quiet as possible.

thanks for the help, its much appreciated!

 

You might not be able to use the stock intake without modification. The supercharger changes the angle of the throttlebody, so if you wish to use the stock intake you'll probably need to do some cutting.

When I installed mine, the position of the throttlebody was altered enough that my AEM CAI didn't fit, and I had to cut a portion of it off, then use the tube that JR gives you to make it work. I've since ditched the AEM portion of the intake and use the AEM filter with the tube JR gives you. It's a great fit, although if I remember correctly the diameter is only 2.5 inches.

Like this:

 

The spring tube supplied is supposed to be used with the stock intake.

An aftermarket CAI or short ram can be cut to fit properly without using the spring tube.

 

Does anyone know if you can use the hondata IM gasket with the JRSC?

 

Yes.
