well it has either come down to a jrsc or a drag gen 3 turbo kit for my r. I dont know which way to go. I wanna have the car as reliable as possible. please help me make the final decision. any comments would be appreciated.

 

i think turbo doesnt compare to supercharger. my 2 cents

 

both!

It really depends what you are planning to do w/ the car and your goals.

 

All motor!

 

Turbo

 

TODA Spec Bs w/ 12:1 cr made more power than a JRSC...do the math

DRAG pwns JR

 

who the hell voted for the JRSC anyways?

 

Turbo will be more efficient and the power level can be controlled.

The JRSC is a great unit, but lacks an air-water intercooler, which has been supposedly "in developement" for a long time. However, I drove an JRSC'ed 8psi GSR about a year ago and the instant power and midrange is really awesome.

Efficiency and overall power output the turbo wins, but for simplicity and easy install the JRSC wins.

 

you will be addicted to the sound of a spooling turbo

 

turbo

 

I would go turbo, but not from what you listed.

Drag Kit = Poop

i have to agree with that... its best just to build custom turbo kit, the only thing i like in drag kit is upper charge pipe and intake pipe.. - so thats all i'd take from drag kit..

a good part of your investemnt should be into fuel managment and tuning.. next, better turbo parts will yeld better results and less trouble when it comes to reliability from turbo parts alone..

next, make up your mind on what you want to do https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=600716 - first, you want to sell the car.. now you want something else.. FI cost a good chunk of your wallet, so make sure thats what you want

as far as turbocharger vs supercharger - a small t3/t4 will respond so quick you'll have no need for supercharger..

lol..i would choose turbo over JRSC anyday. I would go with a full race kit.

 

I'm still all motor 4 now but, I've done the math & I will go TURBO!!! Already buying stuff!

 

nawz

JK, turbo DUH but definitely a custom setup, not a "kit" like the Drag 3

I'm making 230whp at just over 6psi with my jrsc. Pardon my <U> complete and utter ignorance</U> , but I had absolutely no idea that Toda B's with 12:1 cr made more power than that. You learn something new every day.

 

Drag is crap... Build a custom.

 

yeah im a broke b*tch so Im having to go NA piece by piece. ipsracing.com sells TODA cams individually!

Anyone wanna donate to the 'Make Brett's R faster' fund? its for a good cause

yap custom or hytech (very nice).

 

I would go Turbo over the JRSC,but far as the Drag kit that part is up to you.A good friend of mine got a Drag Gen 2 kit for his GSR a couple years back and bolted it on his stock motor and it ran reliable for over 60,000 miles!He started having problems after he started doing more upgrades to run more boost.I know that the JRSC are crap,because I have had to fix a hatch at a shop I was working at.The JRSC came apart and all the super charger internals went into the engine and destroyed everything.The JRSC and the complete long block had to be replaced so we called JR about it and all they did was replace the super charger not the long block.

 

i didnt know that hytech made a turbo.. hey have you all seen the new sport compact? the j's racing intake made the cut in the mag... i would go turbo if i were you

 

turbo for sure !!
