well i wanted to keep the car as reliable as possible but now i want a bit more power. i love this little civic but i dont want an engine swap so i thought long and hard about just getting a super charger from jackson racing. i have read alot about jackson racing and believe they are reliable. but i could be wrong.

does anyone have any experience on a d series 1991 civic engine?

is it reliable?

any stories about the install procedure and any good things to tell or problems?

is it easy to get more power out of it with just new pullies or is that it with what it comes with?

 

PM me.


you'll get a lot of BAD stories and **** talking from people that have NEVER owned one.

I have one and I love it.

super easy to install.

 

Do you have any dyno numbers or 1/4 mile times on it? Curious to see what a supercharged d-series can do.

 

working out some bugs,

I am bringing the car to Chris at HOOKUPS for a dyno very shortly.


I am at about 8PSI so my butt dyno estimates around 160-170HP with 125-135TQ. (more after tuning and a little more work.)

but i couldnt really tell you, I am just guessing and comparing to the other cars i have had.


Ive already had a swapped B16 with many bolt ons and 100 shot direct port.

turbo LS crx

a turbo charged D series

and now this supercharged D series.

with many SEMI-built D series N/A cars.


although i started DRAG RACING and working on my 1/4 mile times, this car is being built more towards road racing, where the usable low end torque and instant boost would work very well.

I will take it to the local 1/8th mile track pretty soon..... jsut to compare with some of my other cars.

i'll keep you posted.


on the 1/8th mile time, and the dyno numbers.

 

Jacksons website says 140 with their $500 exhaust.

IMO I would look at doing a Mini-Me

actually a sohc NON-vtec... d16a6 works MUCH better than a sohcvtec motor, when it comes to JRSCs.

longer stroke motor = torque.


dont look at PEAK, look at the usable power.

 

The z6 and y8 have the same stroke as the a6.

 

A friend had a JRSC on his LS. I wasn't that impressed. Don't get my wrong it was strong and pulled hard, but for the price just not worth it.

A well balanced turbo kit can be had for cheaper and make just as much power.

 

i had a jrsc on my last hatch,90 dx with a d16a6 i upgraded to a 10psi setup,kamakazi header,2.5 cat back,walbro fuel pump,safc and msd for tuning,and a short ram intake,with it tuned really well i put down 178whp and 148ft,and the car was very reliable,ran a 14.0 in the 1/4..and thats at 4500ft on crappy 22 inch slicks.most of the time sohc turbo cars running the same boost on the street couldnt keep up,they were to busy waiting for boost and i was allready gone.the one thing i didnt like about it was the heat,everytime i opened my hood it was like a steambath,and if i got on it to much heat soak would set in,and i lost power.so you might want to try and check into a well thought out turbo kit,you can still get lowend power if its setup right.

 

Nice numbers, but i think the excess heat just kills it at times. Do they make an aftercooler for it?

 

lhtperformance.net its pricey but it works.they claim it drops intake temps around 100deg,ive talked to one of the guys on the phone and he was way cool,still thinking about doing another jrsc setup on my new hatch...turbo isnt in yet.

 

i seen a supercharged ex civic at the track ran a strong high 16 hahaha would never do a waste of money if u ask me

 

its a good thing that the dude responded to his question so quick and said pm him. before stupid coments like this from bildozer...ive seen them run very fast times and slow times. every car is diff. if set up properly i think they can perform very well.

 

thanks s10 all i can say is superchargers are to expensive why not turbo and get more power for cheaper its a waste if you ask me if i had a fox body mustang i would sc it but not a sohc civic

80 some pages on the jrsc in this link.

 

any pics of their set ups on the d series?

 

i have a freind that has a stock 95 4 door gsr. the only thing he has is intake but that doesnt seem to do much and its really dirty too.

well i was curious if a jrsc on a 91 civic with no other mods could keep up with his stock gsr? from the line i mean.

 

i wouldnt get a supercharger/turbo unless you can afford to get it tuned and get some decent software to run it. Read through that link that I posted and it will explain alot to you.

I'll prove the haters wrong too.....


trust me, after my motor/charger setup is done, you'll be seeing a lot more superchargers on H-T.


first setup....JRSC 200+WHP with a 1.6L SOHCnonvtec.
second setup will be ENDYN 300+WHP with a 1.8L stroker SOHCnonvtec.

 

Ok well i have personally had a JRSC on my 89 civic SI hatch... i only had a SOHC zc NON V-TEC with intake, headers, and 2.5 exhaust piping with a magnaflow muffler then 2.5 piping to the end... and the tranny was grinding and the clutch was slipping a lil and when i took it to the track the fastest i ran was a 14.9.... so thats not bad for a little sohc zc with just the jrsc... i didnt have a boost gauge but i believe it was just running the stock 8lbs because it had the stock pully...


here are a few pics of my car and just the charger after i pulled it out when i blew the rings and head gasket...

STOCK pulley on the a6 produces like 5-6 PSI.

 

streetwerkz,
do you have anyproblems throwing belts, i personaly know 3 kids that have jrsc and all three of them eat belts like there is no tomarow... the setups are a supercharged ls vtec, ls, and a b16, they even tried calling jackson racing and they didint have an answer... is this just a dohc thing or do the sohc do the same

i know a girl with a vortech supercharged b16 and she has no problems with belts you have any experience with vortech

 

i threw a belt the first day i installed it.... but i wasnt running the correct size belt for my crank pulley.

it lasted maybe 3 times into boost. LOL


since then i got the EXACT belt jackson recommends with their kit.

first day i had a squeeling problem, retightened belt (they stretch after a few miles)

and have had ZERO belt problems since.

 

o0o ok then i guess i was only running 5-6 pounds... also about throwing belts i never had a prob, other then my rings, and head gasket going out.....

 

your engine blew? was it cause of the supercharger? or did u do something else?
