anyone have ether installed? for that matter anyone have a S/Ced swap in a hatch? is it at all possable....pics? This is my plan, i got my 93 DX Hatch, and im going to be getting a full B18C1 Swap soon, then after i get that in and do minor bolt ons, i wana go S/C...Im just councerned with detonation during the hot summers here in NJ (This previous summer dosent really apply), but it gets really f-ing hot here sometimes. Pros / cons on the 2 systems? I realise that the JR charger by design and common sence is always going to make more Torque, but what PSI can u safley run without any charge cooler? I think they run around 6, which isint that bad, but i dont want to melt a piston or anything...

ok im babling now, so i guess this could turn into a good post...lets hear your thoughts

 

I really like my JRSC, running 6 lbs of boost, check my sig...I highly recommend a Hondata unit, and S100 with boost option is all you will really need. anything else you would like to know?

 

i have the jrsc on my single cam. it pulls like a ***** and is reliable as hell! nice upgrade IMO

 

how long do you think you can run a JRSC on a stock GSR Block?
does the kit come with all the nessary fuel enrichment? (that blue rising rate fuel thingy? lol)
any idea how hot intake temps are?

if it's running good (proper fuel and tuning and boost) it should give you lots of happy miles

 

anyone have a Vortech Based Unit? Even better a Vortech Aftercooled unit??? not worth the trouble?? I duno

JICEK9 is the whine of the Supercharger bearable during normal driving, i mean im shure u definatly dont mind it when your burning some domestics, but how about going to get groceries, or more so on highway trips...

i love the whiiiiiiiine! but no, just daily driving you don't notice it. when you get on it is when a valve opens and thats when it boosts. if you are just accelerating from a intersection it's just like stock (except it will NEVER bogg) I IT!

 

thats awsome, im stoked, how much did u pay for your kit, minus your lil hondata and boost controller?

 

Shamless Bump...

 

if your asking ME, i payed $1000 for my charger with 10k miles on it! but that was from somebody else in my crew. normally they go for under $2500

 

vortech blows.

 

i had a JRSC on my old car (00 Si) with the upgrade pully it was nice and pulled really good but after a while it was nothing but problems.JRSC

 

what kind of "problems" did you have?

 

I would also be interested in hearing about the problems with a JRSC, as im thinking about getting one too.

thanks!

 

problems?

 

Vortech= lag of a turbo (technically) and parasitic loss of a SC.

If you want to SC then JRSC is the way to go.

Vortech seems to work alot better on bigger displacement motors: ie: Vdub's, Domestics etc.

 

I am not a fan of JRSC.....here in texas I have seen many people blow their motors....stock...no upgraded pulleys or anything....and my NA B16A will outrun just about ANY JRSC I have come across here.....

a bigger pitfall of a SC is when the temp drops boost goes up and no means of decreasing the boost with the kit alone and your intake charge will increase substantially.....dont get me wrong some like it...and the whine it makes under load is killer...but I dont like their products or the customer service they offered in times past....

as far as the Vortech unit it makes more power overall....the only big complaints I have heard about them is maitenance.....to do just about ANYTHING to your car....you have to remove the unit...b/c of the shaft that goes across the header/exh manifold......so unless you plan on doing all the work on your car yourself....labor fees will jump a good amount

 

everybody hates on jackson...

I the whiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnne

 

jicek9.....

whats your setup and dyno #'s if you have them....i plan on supercharging a gsr when i come back from the marines......just wondering you setup and 1/4 times...im not looking to be crazy fast...i have a crx that im building for drag..

thanks

 

Personally, I'd rather go turbo with low boost then SC. More upgradable and has an intercooler

I plan to tune and dyno my car next spring I am only running a supercharged single cam right now. it pulls pretty good. everybody hates on JRSC but I haven't had any bad luck. (knock on wood) as far as 1/4 et, I have only been out to the track once with the charger and it was running low 15's with rim tires I figure with proper tuning, slicks, and my best friend NOS low 14's high 13's? I dunno, we'll have to wait 'til next spring. Here in MINNESNOWTA it's getting time to put the car down


<U>GOD BLESS THE MARINES</U>

 

Jackson Racing is ******* weak. Buy it of you're into "street legal performance".
Dump all your money into mods, buy the pulley upgrade, and post your 180 hp dyno sheet for all of Honda-Tech to laugh at.

Vortech is pimp ****, buy it if you're into racing at all.

 

Gotta go with Jackson. Roots blower rocks.

Actually buy a turbo before you buy a vortech. You'll spend the same amount.

 

will the vortech even fit in the 93 dx's engine bay?
