I think the guy may have a k20a based on his geographic location. If so, I can't think of an off-the-shelf supercharger kit that would work with it. To reach 300 hp easily, he could go with a turbo kit.

here in europe we have k20a 200hp , 6speed without LSD in the gearbox.
i already have a header , an AEM intake , and a Hondata ecu and i ve seen 240 hp ( NOT at the wheels) so i want a supercharger to reach with STOCK internatl 300 hp (not WHP)
nothin to suggest? jackson aint working good at 9 psi?? cant i keep stock internals and see around 300 hp (270-280whp)?

How soon do you want it? Because now Jackson Racing is in process of a new design with the JRSC & rotrex for more power...but it is going to take awhile though...

yeah they have been working on it forever it seems. i called them in november last year and they said it would be ready in march 07, but i called them again and they had some hang ups with the ecu and just looking to get good numbers with it.

the race kit is a good one, with a k-pro you can make some good numbers.

You need the Civic Si JRSC race version with 9 psi pulley on it, I am from UK and that's what is generally fitted to the EP3 over here, it will make around 235-245 on the rollers with header, intake and catback. It will be perfectly fine to run on stock internals.

They can still be obtained off the shelf from http://www.cplracing.co.uk or http://www.system-r.co.uk or http://www.abbeymotorsport.co.uk.

They are not that hard to fit but tuning it may be harder, you will also need K-Pro unless you already have it.

They will also ship to Greece.

Failing that if you want bigger power try a Rotrex supercharger, smaller power Rotrex blowers will give 350 at the fly easily, you can then go for top mount intercooler to give 400 HP or if you are a monster you could go for a C38 blower with FMIC like me, this should with strengthened internals be good for over 500 hp and 600hp with a good squirt of gas.

Hope this helps mate.

Yeah, he's been hoping to sell that kit for quite a while. I'm not sure whether to get it myself partly because (and this may sound silly) I don't know if I really want as much power as he got out of it (and on his stock K20A3 motor, too).

That motor is our watered-down K20A3, which (among other things) has a lower compression ratio and a different VTEC system that is designed for low emissions and good fuel efficiency rather than high-RPM zing.

Our RSX Type-S has K20A2 and K20Z1 engines (depends on which year) that are effectively the same as what's in your car, 8100-rpm redline and all. However, you do not want to try to use a kit designed for the K20A2 that we have in our RSX Type-S. It's not because of the engine codes -- it's because of the smaller space available at the front of the EP3's motor. Since the engines themselves have the same dimensions, it's much easier to fit a supercharger kit designed for the EP3, regardless of what engine it has.

Also, EP3 owners here in the US have swapped other engines into their cars (including K20A, K20A2, K20Z1 or Z3, and various K24 2.4-liter blocks including the K24A2 from the TSX/European Accord-R) and boosted them with superchargers. Even in those setups, they use kits like that Jackson Racing kit you saw earlier. They have to use what fits best.
