hey guys, just picked up a 90 civic ex sedan, it's gonna be my driver and not sure whether to go jrsc d16 or just do the ls motor.

i'll be posting my project but for now i need to decide so i know what to buy.

thanks in advance.

 

are you asking us which one we would do and what pros and cons would be? Most guys here would say turbo before sc. I personally dont own either turbo, sc, or ls, so maybe i should just shut up, but i actually know 2 people that have one of each. the turbo spanks the sc all day long and the two people did a "build off" thing with a limit of 2700 bucks or somewhere right around there. I like the turbo myself. by the way, both are on d16a6's in 89 civic si's. total **** cars with rust spots you can look through to the rear, but they run good.


my other friend has a jr sc set to 3 psi on his ford focus zx3. From zero to sixty my stock d16a6 is right on his ***, dead even. that is the extent of my street racing. 0-60. lol. just had to throw that in there cause i hate the focus

 

turbo ls / thread

 

1.Turbo D
2. LS
3. SC D

 

why the charger hate? its what im gonna do to my stock rex.

STREETWERKS!? come to bat for the jrsc!

 

I had a turbo D it was fun...swapped to the LS loved the tq and tons of fun...boosted the LS and its insanely fast now

 

I will probably go sc though on mine though. i have a healthy d16a6 and dont have the know how for all the BOV and intercooler and all that ****. no ione around me to help me so.. i will do a bolt on JRSC and hopefully find someone to tune for me.
i know this sorta contridicts my last post, but.. i like the sc simplicity (when comparing to turbo)

no hate here, it would just be last on my list. They are fun to drive.

 

okay supercharger it is, will update install and motor/car rebuild

 

For reliability I would say the sc or the ls. I have a jrsc on my d16a6 and the only thing I have done in the last two years is replace the belt. Just don't trust the fmu. Also I run circles around the ls all day and hella more torque.
