So after doing a quick search (hey, I'm at work and don't have a lot of time), I'm curious to know what exactly would I need to run a Jackson Supercharger on my 1999 Civic SiR (canadian car... in the U.S. it is a Civic Si). The car is completely stock with the B16a2 engine.

Regardless, what would I need to run this? I am not looking to do a crazy build, but rather, keep the car as stock as possible with a small bump in power. I have access to buy a used Jackson SC for $1000, and included with it are RC injectors. Is there anything else I would require for this to be a SAFE, reliable, power booster?

I should also note, this supercharger is of the belt kind. The supercharger I'm looking to buy has a few years on it. I cannot find an application for it on the jacksonracing website... it looks like they only use the "rotrex" style supercharger these days.

I'm looking for a nice, detailed answer, please!

 

I think it's superchargers.com that has parts for it; jackson racing stopped dealing with the "old" eaton kits. Pulley brothers is another maker of parts iirc, obviously upgrade pulleys. For stock reliability, you'd want an ems added like hondata/neptune/ectune. You'll find some people get by with low boost and an fmu/missing link, or v-afc, as superchargers are easier to tune in some regards.

Your car should have the 139lph stock fuel pump, so it's good for 250-300whp unless you're using an FMU. A walbro fuel pump is only an extra $100 and easy to install. Other than that, a rebuild or coating removal of the SC is about all you'd need. Just make sure the engine, electrical, etc is in perfect running order - any problem will be more pronouced with boost...



btw there is a JRSC thread floating around here, it has TONS of info in it.

 

kinda of in the same boat as you,

here is a very helpful website

the guy who runs that website is also on here
also like the guy above said look at this thread,

speaking from experience.....
.....superchargers do not work well on Hondas, they rob power to make power and the outcome is less than worth talking about. I had a 2000 si with the vortech kit and I was very disappointed. I recommend doing a simple turbo set-up, you will be much happier in the end.

 

Supercharged here and VERY happy with my JRSC, spend a little time do it right and have it tuned by a reputable tuner.
