I'm thinking about buying one for my 07 Si but I cant seem to find much info on Pros and Cons about them. Any thoughts??

Thanks for the help.

 

from what my friends have experienced ... Jackson Chargers are crap...u better off gettin a bolt on turbo kit or spend the money and get ITB's that would be sick...

But thats really an opinion...it really comes down to how much you want to spend...

Jackson Super Charger
Turbo
ITB's

the AVERAGE guy wouldn't go that route considering everything involved to get that to work on this generation civic.

 

Do ITBs even make close to the same power as forced induction anyway?

Didn't think so. Thank you for clarifying.

 

bo0st is always more power...but a 2008 Si with ITB's would be like having sex wit Kim Kardashian

 

Over-rated?! Okay, no ITBs for me then.

 

itbs dont really make much power. i remember seeing a vid on one with a b series and it made like 1 more peak hp.

ITB's aren't the only components of an NA setup. I don't know the specifics, but there are items dealing with fuel mgnt., internals, TUNING (which we have yet to have) etc, etc that work with the ITB's. One would need all of these components to work synergistically to create power. Hp/$ is way more with NA vs. Boost, but throttle response with NA is instantaneous.

 

very true...but i didnt mean slap on ITB's and end of story...obviously its more to it than that...and plus it would have to be custom...because i doubt any company has a set...

if u want to, i will go steal a throttle bodies from some GSXR's around my neighborho0d...and we can customize a set....just have AEM set us up with a nice fuel rail and we are in business...

 

lets talk more about the jrsc, or comptech, im interested in getting a SC, anynone have dyno # or price? ive seen it done on ht a few times

Yon won't be in business unless you want to shell out the cash to convert to cable throttle.

refer to my first post in this thread.

 

Here the Dyno of mine after the Comptech SC. This was prior to the header installation with gave me another 10.



I love my Comptech Charger

 

how much did it cost you for parts and everything else u needed?

im looking to go SC in the future. had turbo once before, now its time to try SC. :D

 

JR's says that it gives 37% more HP and 36% more torque. It lookes like the Comptech one is alittle bit better....

 

ITB's only net around 15hp and give amazing throttle response, all they are for is to compliment a stout built motor.
