I have a 98 civic with a b16 swap and its supercharged with a jrsc pusshing 12 pounds of boost. The car was tuned befor i bought it but only 236whp is that too low for 12psi. As far as i know the internals are stock.

 

i'm surprised it isn't blowing hot air at 12 psi. sounds ok to me.

 

Im surprised it made that much...supercharged b16's arent know to make all that great of power.

 

Do you have a boost gauge hooked up verifying that 12PSI, or is that just what the previous owner told you? Those things generally max out around 10PSI.

5 minutes on Google says 230-250 on a hot install is about right.

 

Yes there is a boost gauge

 

thats normal... jrsc's don't make lots of power, and after 10psi without an intercooler you might as well be using a heat gun... they just pump gobs of hot air at that pressure level

 

yup that's its down fall! even with the lht manifold @12psi i was getting power loss from heat soak! My new pro charger super charger has little to no heat soak. but that's actually good i made 230+hp with 6psi on a stock gsr with bolt ons.

 

I really want to do a budget street build with an ls/vtec with either an eaton m90 or m112 for ***** and giggles one day... just mount it down where the ac compressor should be (seen a number of setups this way) this gives you the ability to run a front mount... should make good power with a wicked power band
