first, you are going to need to learn to search. second, you are going to need a supercharger that a) works on the b-series, and b) somehow fits in the engine bay of a swapped ef.

I would then ask why you don't just go turbo since you apparently have the cash to go the JRSC route. all the problems you need to solve have already been solved for a turbo car.

i would say its easier to turbo a b-swap ef just cause its been done a thousand times. and turbo will make better power.

Ok mabey not injectOrs(lol) but deffinaately a tune, reason being, if the car was ever bought in another state/owned by another individual there might be a difference in atmospheric pressure or elevation differences

I dont see why It wont work, the manifold sits lower and closer to the motor, I now a D series jrsc fits fine, I was going to do that but didnt have money for the charger at the time. man if a Kseries jrsc fits a Rex then???

haha, an FMU.. thats the funniest bullshit i have read all day. how are you going to magically make the ecu start caring about pressure over a couple psi of atmospheric pressure? and what about timing retard from the more dense intake charge? and what happens when the 240cc injectors can't inject enough gas for 8psi of boost?
Those sound like a few problems the op should address before going any further..

here is a hint.. you need a chipped ecu running crome, neptune, ectune, hondata or some custom aftermarket ECU to run that setup right. I am sure you could get it started and running on an FMU, but i give it a week until that **** blows up. FMU's do not belong on hondas. If you don't understand why, then you need to look up what a map sensor is.

superchargers are a waste of time. hardly anyone makes one anymore for honda applications, and turbochargers are much more widely supported.
