thinking of buying one, wondering if i should spend money on something else .. ie - smps head / vafc / pulleys

 

depends on all what you want my friend. Have fast you want to go depends one how much you want to spend. Then then you have to think about tunning and maintance on it after words.

My uncle who builts motors( car, boat) famous quote " You don't drive your race car and you don't race your drive car, cause you never know when something is going to F-up on you"

 

The JRSC will give a lot more of a gain, but your tranny will go out eventually. Depends on how much money you want to spend.

 

Good luck man, I gave up on the boost a while back cause of the tranny

 

i saw an SS lude with the jrsc dyno at 192whp. compared to 230whp for the 5 speed that's with similar mods

but then i saw an SS lude dyno at 236whp. but with considerably more mods. just some food for thought.

 

FI on automatics is a bad idea unless you want to spend the dough to beef up your tranny, I learned the hard way with my integra. Maybe swap the SS for a 5-speed?

 

i got a 5spd / intake, but most the reply's say that it'll kil my tranny.. so i'll hold off on the charger and just wait for the smsp head with custom pipe , maybe a vafc

Who told you it would harm your 5 speed tranny? At the most you might have reduced clutch life. Plenty of people are boosting on the stock H22 5 speed.

Do it anyway

 

Boost away. Just don't drive the **** out of it. If you only use it here and there then don't worry too much as long as you boost right. However, if you drive with a lead foot then you are in for some major $$$ in repairs to the motor and tranny. Just my 2cents

 

Save the money and do a 5spd swap

 

I drive mine hard every day.
