do u think supercharging a type-r is worth it, how is jackson racing?. what is the most boost i can run with a stock engine. long term effects, etc...

 

 

You'll get better power with a turbo.

 

fo rizzle

 

Search 'turbo' for the ITR forum (archived topics). There's some good topics using that search. Hope that helps.

 

I have a JRSC on my Type R. I think it is really fun to drive when it is working proberly. I have spent a lot of money trying to make it run better. I just recently got Hondata with 440 injectors, After hours of tuning it runs way better. I am also running 7 psi and all f the bolt ons. I love it, but it is a lot to deal with every once in a while.

 

Let me just say that if i had alot of crazy cash I would put a JRSC on my car.
The money to set it up right is no joke.

 

i just wanted to get the supercharger because i have stock bottom end, how much boost will i be able to run with a turbo, price differenc?, turbo or supercharger harder to hook up?

 

I think either way max boost it 5.5 -6 psi on a stock bottom end.

 

Rboosted's running 9psi.

 

if you got the proper tuning i think 9-10 is safe and if no tuning then 6-7..

Not true...you just need to tune it correctly...

 

Like I said "I think ..."

Sorry to mislead anyone but thats what I had heard in the past.

 

JRSC on ITR

took mine off and am going NA, it did sound cool though

 

welcome to 10th time asking the same question within the month.

 

I know everyone has to start somewhere.. but should you really be considering boosting a car when you have no knowledge of doing so? Research, then ask imo.. but whatever, I'll digress.

-Dave, who would use a turbo instead of SC but whatever floats j00r boat.

 

NA all the way...I was going to go turbo but no one makes a decent kit for it (dont like drag) and i dont want to go custom...too much money and trouble

 

TypeR are NA cars, should be kept a NA car.

(my $0.02)

 

For F/I, id say turbo. IMO, id keep it NA, but its your car.

 

talked to a guy that sc his itr and he hated every minute of it, finally sold it a bought an NA itr and was very satisfied.

 

putting a blower on an r is easy and not too expensive. much cheaper thanb na or turbo. runbs great. but make sure SC power is the type of power you want. gives great low end and midrange torue. great for daily driving, autoX and road racaing. not for drag racing. i LOVE my JTRSC ITR

 

I prefer N/A myself..... but to the F/I crowd I lended my car out to be a guinea pig to Procharger and their kit should be out shortly. The fitment was good and has a front mount intercooler. The placement of the compresssor isn't the best, you must relocate the washer fluid jug but that is the only thing "I" didn't like about it. No I didn't test drive it b/c they still needed to fab some stuff up but in about 2 weeks maybe. They got a 00 Si done and it ran 13.4 @ 112 on 17" BFG drag tires with only an axle back exhaust kit. It was at SEMA so some of you may have saw and critiqued it already.


Sorry... they wouldn't let me take pics of my baby or the Si
