I've been going to track days (road courses) a couple times a year and autoxing, and now I would like to install a S/C on a stock Si motor. Anyone have experience with JRs S/C (on a D16A6 or any Honda engine from that era)?

I was concerned about engine reliabilty and even how well the S/C kit will hold up when used hard at the track. My brother-in-law has an Integra Type-R with a JR S/C. Right after he bought it he took it out for a track day and the compressor wore out. Don't know how many miles were on it, what the previous owner may have done to it, or the condition it was in when he bought the car. He had the compressor rebuilt, but has not taken the car back to the track since.

 

ive had it on my d16a6 with 240xxx miles

here is a pass i did at the race track.

I had a stock JRSC on my last Civic Wagon with a Kamikaze header, 2.5" exhaust, and a intake, and for the 30-40k miles I owned the car it was dead nuts reliable with great torque and linear power. It was really a lot of fun.

 

Ohh yea on mine it made 165whp and 140wtq on 8psi

 

No problems with the S/C or the engine?

What did you do to get that kind of power? I was thinking that they only made about 150 HP on a stock engine.

 

As long as you start out with a good condition kit and your engine is in good condition there should be no problems. I have been running mine at 10 psi for a couple years now still on the original belt and no problems at all!!

 

where can you guys get this sc ive been looking for one i cant find it here in cali

 

Theyre discontinued. Gotta find em used.

If you've got a B series in a CRX, Hasport can help ya out there.

Nope, see where the prices arent marked, and the button you use to add em to cart is marked "N/A" meaning they dont have em anymore. Cant even try and order em.

I have been running a brand new JRSC on my Civic hatch for over a year with all the stock Fuel managment, and a rebuilt stock D16A6.

The kit is a lot of fun, although as everyone will tell you, the stock managment sucks.

However, even though I do have to mix 91 and 93 together to get 93 to avoid ping, the car is a blast to drive.

If you are looking for top speed and drag racing is your thing, the JRSC is not really for you. Its easier to be a top speed car with a turbo setup for sure. If general driving, canyon runs and such is what you enjoy, then the JRSC is a great add on.

 

Mixing 91 and 93 will never give you 93....

 

lol, wow wasnt paying attention when I wrote that. Should read:

"Mixing 91 and 100 to get 93."
