so i got this almost new JRSC from a past car..it was on my D16Z6 and now im tryin to put it on my coupe what do u think im gonna need, problems i may run into andall that jazz...

 

The answer is no.
See Search button.
Open the hood, look where the strut tower is.

 

i did the search thing ***, im no noob im not real worried about the fire wall or anything like that im maily concerned with the bolt up to the motor and the technical part of the build thnx for the non help tho bud

 

try it out, not going to be bolt on, you wont get much help because there's no one that has done it yet.

sure... cut the flange off and weld a D17 one on, thats easy... then once you've wasted all that time and effort, cut the strut tower out of the car so you can get a belt on it. Gangsta 3 wheelin supercharged y0! There's a reason no one's done it... the damn thing flat out DOESN'T FIT. Thats the same reason I gave you 5 minutes ago, apparently I needed to spell it out.
Open the hood, go look at it, lay the housing on top of the motor if you have to. It takes 5 seconds to figure out you wont get it in there.

just in case you wanted to do more reading

 

i "mocked" it up today t oeyeball everything...im waitin on a call from JR and it looks to be that there is 1/2 of clearence between the inner shock tower tub and the pulley i talked to my machinist and u say he can make me a pulley thats offset so i can mount the SC and where ever the pulley shaft fall it will compensate for the difference...there is room gentleman jus cause it hant been done dont mean it cant i think somepeople jus give up too easy. if u get a SC and lay it in place ull see whats doin'

 

I'd just sell it for a couple thousand and save the money towards a K-Swap.

 

well i dont wanna conform and i dont like havin the same **** as everyone else i love my single cams always have and always will. anyone who mods em2 does turboD or K i wanna supercharge and with the right mods ill be right up there with lightly modded K's IMO

k20a3 maybe...

 

so true...

a turbo'd D on the other hand...

 

might not out perform in the HP as opposed to RSX-S but in the quater im thinkin the EM might have the advantage...my car keeps with my buddy's rsx-s till he shifts into 3rd then he gone but im only 2-3 car legnths behind him at the line...im thinkin S/C EM2 for the win. bottom line i like Dseries passionaltely and not willing to turbo and i def would love to stick out with a JRSC...pretty much the only EM ever with SC. wouldnt mind that

 

EM2/ES1 K-swapped vs EM2/ES1 SC D17
K-swapped FTW.

EM2/ES1 TC D17 vs EM2/ES1 SC D17
TC D17 FTW.

blowers are sweet on high displacement motors but running one on a sohc 1.7L won't give you as much as a Turbo setup.

I would like to see you complete your project...It should be a very challenging job.

Good luck with it!

 

im glad someone is trying it...i thought about it for a long time but not wanting to compromise the structural integrity of the car...

let us know how it goes w00t

 

$10 says he doesnt finish this project.

 

I wanna c it to believe it ! I hope u do it, but if it turns out slow for all that work say it didnt fit .. . . but good luck man.

 

I really want to see you finish the project too...hope you are true to your words man...keep us updated

 

the major obstacle is K-pro lol its $1175 + 180 for the needed cam gear for the install and tuning. i already have everything else to put the charger on. when i speak with JR they may be able to steer me in a different direction as far as tuning.

pretty much it boils down to i want to make sure, 110% sure that this will work in all parameters b4 i spend $1200+ on ecu lol....understandably so

 

why not install it first, then get K-Pro? if it doesn't work for you, don't buy it.

if you get Kpro now and it doesn't work out, boost your d17 and make use of it, or resell it at a loss.

 

truth be told im not tryin to have too much down time...i kno thats hard when ur building...i have a mini truck and the civic i dont need a DD cuz i have a company truck but i like to drive my car..hopefully JR can help with the tuning/ecu questions i have

Im going to be the first person to call you a Douche Bag... Your like a n00b that wants to put a B-series into his EM2... LOL or an H- Series.

 

im gonna be the first to tell u kick rocks..its guys like u who have nuthin better to do than sit, wait and flame *** off! im tired of the same old **** ive build fast hondas, ive built nice lookin hondas i want sumthin different...thats not unobtainable and im partial to dseries engines (im sure im not the only one)...we all know theres no way to do EM2 b/h series. this can be done u guys are mostly keyboard mechanics/know it alls who dont know ****...instead of flamin everyone why dont u jus give some of these ideas a shot? OMG that might not work and ill look like a tool if i go along with this guy, well, guess what u look like a tool now

have u ever even held a SC near a EM? let alone tried to bolt one up...my guess no!

 

I've not seen the D16 S/C near a D17. Any chances you'd be willing to take some photos? I may have a few ideas that could work, but I don't know what I'm getting into as of right now.

unfortunately, with what you're trying to do, you're bound to have downtime, it's something that is going to need to be completely custom and when you do something that needs this much work to make fit, you're bound to have down time.

i'm doubting you'll do this but wouldn't anyone when something hasn't been done yet? prove us wrong.

by the way, what kind of truck do you have? i love mini trucks when done right.
