I just finished preparing the internals of my 1st gen B16a/CRX engine and need to decide how to force feed it. My car is a daily driver with weekend strip use. I currently getting 162whp NA.

I have an offer to buy a used JRSC for 1600.00.

I also have everything I need to go turbo except for the turbine which Turbonetics says should be a T3/T4e 46 Stage II with .63 housing.

I like the idea of being able to lower the boost electronically during my daily use (I think my Tial spring is 6 lbs min) and up it at the track. The supercharger on the other hand is always 'on' an I understand can boost up to 10 lbs without changing the crank pulley.

What do you guys recommend?

 

if you are already making 162 whp NA in a b16 then i would guess your compression ratio was raised. GIve some more info on how much internal work was done to the motor.

TURBO OWNZ YOU!

 

I installed JE SRP 10.5:1 pistons, CTR cams. upgraded valvetrain, hondata.

 

I would go turbo nobody can prove to me on a four banger the difference in power if someone gave me a supercharger I would trash it unlees you got some major displacement like v8's stangs they slap one on and they are in the 11's that is a 5.0 of ocurse anyways you want to go turbo but you raised your compression by a 1/10 stock on the jdm is 10.4:1 so you are aiight there but thoose cams are way to big for a turbo the lift on them is way too high you would loose power you need the stock b16 cams or gsr cams and you could get your self a decent gasket some arp headstuds and you could boost 9 to 10 safely no more than 10 though you might be in some trouble. make sure your fuel management is right that is important dont go cheap like a lot of people do

good luck and boost that 1.6

 

If it's going in you're daily driver I would suggests the JRSC... I have one by the way, as well as experience with turbo.

 

turbo for sure

Go custom and make something that will run well for daily, and or track if you want
