I still have not gotten the chance to ride in a JRSC ITR. Is it whorth the time and money, or does the turbo route just make more sense??? I want my car to make good power while still keeping its handling characteristics, thats why I've been hesistant on the turbo setup.

Current setup:

Stock block
sk2 stage 2 cams, w valvtrain
jdm 4-1
chrome ecu
aebs intake man.
all other bolt ons

 

What do you want to do with the car? Auto-X, HPDE, Drag, Daily drive it, be a ricer?


This question would be much more suited for the FI forum. The majority of ITR owners utilize the motor for NA.

Best of luck.

 

JRSC ITR = Mo Problems for the owner.

 

Well genius (Zygspeed), more torque = less grip, I want to be able to leave the corner without roasting the tires. Not too difficult to figure out.

Its also why the gas pedal is not a digital switch, either ... LOL!</TD></TR></TABLE>

well your not gonna make as much power with the JRSC as you would with a turbo... if your gonna auto X then def the JRSC. It overall gives you good power with low end torque so you can keep the car in the power range when auto Xing. Even DD with the JRSC is a good setup, if your not looking for crazy HP. Its fun

 

Ohhhh okay... so your tires losing grip is not a handling issue? Get off your mom's computer and go play grand turismo, just another honda nerd that has nothing better to do than go through posts to try and sound smart. You are such a badass!

woah man settle down, all he is trying to say that, youre going to lose grip at some point no matter what, and as long as you can regulate the throttle properly, losing grip shouldnt be a problem.

 

Why does drama always start when someone posts anything about forced induction in the ITR section. Half the people on here have never even owned a boosted car let alone been in one. Answer the mans question or gtfo. Turboing an ITR isn't the end of the world, let's hop off the bandwagon already...

 

You can quote me on this: I have never owned nor ridden in a car and then concluded that its handling characteristics would be detrimentally affected by adding more hp.

Please don't take offense, but until you realize why your question doesn't make sense, you're not going to appreciate the sincerity of comments like Zyg's and mine.

I owned and tracked the living hell out of a jrsc'd ITR for about 5 years. The only adverse effect of the jrsc on my ITR's handling was the additional 30# that the kit weighs.

Now you have input from 2 ITR owners, one with turbo and the other jrsc, who both track their cars. I hope this helps.

 

Not the same but I've Been in a JRSC GSR. Honestly Not that impressive.

Woan relax , telling Zygspeed to get off his moms comp,

THAT dude prob knew more 10 years ago about hondas then you WILL know if you went to school for hondas for the NEXT 10 years

Dont just start running your lip, you made the same post in the forced induction fourm , and now your jumping down peopel throats , just chill

IMO the JSRC , just plain sucks.
my buddy had it on a GSR , with a nice amount of work , and it wasnt fast at all , it was
i guess it was sorta quick , but if your going to go wih a power adder and are expecting a JSRC and a turbo setup to be the same well they wont be

JSRC is like a small step up from all motor , and boost is a huge leap into the higher HP numbers
On top of all the , AJSRC on a ITR/GSR ,( a stock motor) will make the same power roughlt that you can make with a really nice all motor build .
so IMHO , you can build a faster all motor setup , for the same amont of HP that a JSRC will get you .
that is of course if money isnt teh issue ,
Go get the JSRC if you want quick HP numbers , just dont expect to have 400+ ho from it , you wont have even close to that

Quick someone call an ambulance... he shot himself again.

 

i own a jrsc itr.
hondata, intake, kamikaze 4-1, custom piping and crappy muffler.
this is the 3rd teg ive owned.
i can honestly say: boost&gt;n/a, in terms of power vs. price
i would rather have itbs and 10k redline, but thats expensive

in terms of handling, its quite stock...but u do have torque steer if u mash the pedal down and turn, and even when u pull straight, u better grip the wheel and be prepared to make adjustments. u have to check the belts...about once every 2 weeks, just tighten down a bit, then u all G.

if i were u, k20a

Don't encourage him, he's gotta drive.

 

Wanna meet with the guidance councelor after school? What time does chess club end? I'll be out back having a cigarette.

 

Damnit Ed...... you don't count. Get out of here .

 

Dude, search. There are tons of threads on this already, I know I created a bunch of them.

I used to have a JRSC in my ITR and it was a blast but I would have been much happier with a K20 and some good bolt-ons.

 

Batouttahell loved the JRSC on his R.
When I had it on mine, the power was nice.... That is the good.

I had more problems with that kit though. I would not install another one if it was given to me. That does not mean I am against boost. I am wanting to boost again, just with a different setup

I had the same situation. It was fun because I'm not looking for a TON of extra hp. Plus, it was in the car when I bought it, so it was an added bonus + I already knew JRSC were reliable products, etc., and I'll install it again some day when I buy the rest of the parts I want to go with it.

For what it's worth, I have an ITR friend with a JRSC and he's never had problems with his.

I think j00 guys need to stop having monkeys install/tune your setups.

 

Okay guy with 15,000 posts. We get it, you have no life, too much time on your hands, and you really still type LOL, what a tool.

Everyone else, thanks alot for your advice. Sounds like to me that the powerband on the JRSC is not too strong up top, especially compared to turbocharging.

*trying to be nicer around these parts*

But really... let me SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU!!!

SHUT THE F U C K up... your getting NO WHERE and have NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL YOUR TALKING ABOUT.

Your smart *** comments are getting you nowhere...

What Ed said was if you knew how to drive, then you'd know how to modulate the gas pedal and MAINTAIN grip!

Good lord... and this isn't even ITR related, nor does it belong here...

So my suggestion, go blow a shotgun, you'll do us all a favor.
