Need help! I have a b16 in my crx. Would a jackson supercharger fit? I have hassport mounts. And if so do you have any pics

 

just because you have HAsport mounts dont mean anything....JRSC arent made for b16a SiR1

they are the only ones that I have ever seen do it. The brake master cylinder gets in the way.

 

What about in a 86 Civic Si with a B16A conversion adding a JR Supercharger. Anyone ever try that? Or shall I be the first...

Please do an Archive search. I know personally that I have posted on this topic like 5 thousand times.

Please research before you post wrong info. The JRSC for the 99-00 Si and the JRSC for the ITR both works fine with the 1st gen B16a. He is stating he has Hasport mount because of the difference in engine placements between the different mount kits.

The master doesnt get in the way. If you use the Type-R kit, I personally have installed like 6 of these kits on a 1st gen B16a and had ZERO brake master cylinder clearance problems. John at LHT was the one of the people who help me setup my EF + B18c + JR @ 13psi. The only clearance issues is with the heater control lever/hose on the firewall, and when you use the Hasport kit, the fuel filter is probably going to have to be moved.

LOL Good luck. There is going to be some nice cutting of the firewall there. Post some pics when it is done definately.

yo dont be sour man,

 

are you for real??!?!

 

Anyone offhand know how far out the supercharger sticks past the original intake manifold? I haven't had a chance to measure the differences. It just doesn't seem like it would be much more if any. Its a StreetMod Solo 2 car, so modification of the firewall is fine to fit the motor and components in there. There shouldn't be any clearance problems with the master cylinder either. I'll get it to fit...

I personally don't think superchargers on 4 cylinders are worth the money. get a turbo they're much better.

 

Mike, do you have or have you seen the clearance in the bay of an 86 with a B16a in it? There is like 1-2 inches of clearance. The blower sticks out approximately 2-3 inches more, but also it sits alot lower. It is very similar to a Gsr manifold as far as placement goes. So I would take an old gsr manifold....drill the holes to make it fit, and use that as a rough base template.

Have you ever done one on a Bseries engine? My car ran 12.7 with a 2.4-2.5 60' time. That is on a Gsr with a B16a head in my 2400 lb EF. Yes, you will make more power with the turbo, but I think in his case he wants to auto-x his car and thus a JR would be more beneficial.

 

Actually I happen to own an '86 with a B16a and the clearance of the intake manifold to the firewall is more like 1-2 millimeters using the Hasport mounts. I'm hoping since the sc sits a few inches lower than the stock manifold (where there's more space) that it will take a minimal amount of persuading to get it to fit. I'll try emailing Jackson and see if I can get a clarification on the size difference. Will let you know what I find out...

Mike

 

Yes they fit :

 

I dont think that Jackson knows that you are putting it in a 86-87 crx. It will fit no problems in a 88-91. But the clearance between the firewall and the intake manifold on the 86-87 is some small, I KNOW it will hit the firewall. I will try and do it soon and take some pics.

you're information so far has been very helpful! i just needed some clarification on the following:

so if i have the same situation as originally posted (b16a1 in second gen crx with hasport mounts), do i use the 99-00 civic si kit? or do i use the type R kit?

what is the solution to this?


thankyou!

 

It's great to be able to walk over to the computer and find out the solutions to so many of my problems

I have one question, pretty much the same question that Keebler65 is asking....

I have an '89 civic wagon that i will be doing a 1g b16a swap into shortly. Would i go with the 99-00 Si supercharger or would i go with the ITR model? I have a friend that has a '00 jrsc gsr making 210whp and i would love to see those kind of numbers coming out of a wagon

 

anyone???

 

I am not 100% sure on the differences in the kits. I have only installed the ITR kit on all of the EFs that I have done. If I am not mistaken the ITR kit comes with a larger blower. It also comes with a fuel pump as well. Also, it sets the manifold, down ever so slightly but not too much.

The fix on the heater adjustment, was to unbolt the bracket that is hooked to the firewall, and either bend the bracket and drill/tap a new hole, or elghetto style and zip tie it to the heater core hoses. Either method works fine.

 

my buddy has a 91 hatch with a ls-vtec supercharged motor and his only clearance problem is the crank pully with the crossmember braces if the car is lowered too far. (he still has the stock crossmember) he is using place racing mounts

 

all i know is that from what i've heard, the few people that have this setup use the 99-00 civic si kit. the only reason i asked was because i had never heard of the brake booster clearance problem before. does anyone else know if we should use the civic or ITR kit???

thanks for the replies!

 

the Itr kit is the one that fits best.
It will fit without issues on any b16a with HCP or HASport mounts.
clearance will be tight. but should not be an issue.

 

ok thats good to know. so i assume that the bolt pattern on the intake mani is also identical between the type R and the b16a1? i just want to double check all of this before i buy the wrong kit

 

yes all b series with the exception of the b18b and the b18c1 are the same.

 

Buy the ITR kit. You will get a bigger blower, high flow fuel pump and better clearances.

 

sounds good. except i would assume that the high flow fuel pump that it comes with wouldnt fit in my crx??? since its meant for the ITR?

thankyou
