Any issues with fitting a JRSC on a B16 in an EF?

-ryan

 

not sure has it even been done before

 

its been done before i dont think the search function is working right for somereason but ask blown90hatch

 

Yeah it has been done...here, in Montreal, a guy had a 1990 civic si with b16a and a JRSC set at 10 psi...his nickname is "b16 2 b18" I think...

Here's the shop that did it: http://www.sinmay.com/main.html Good guys and very good service!!

 

Yeah I was just playing with some ideas and I remember a guy with a ZC in a 2nd gen crx put a JRSC in and he had some problems with the pulley banging on the shock tower. Not sure if I'll have similar problems if I decide to do it?

I have a 90CRX with a B18C and a JRSC done by a shop in ST. Pete called Lht Performance, And it looks awesome and runs even better, They set the boost at 10psi, later this summer I am getting them to build a B20VTEC and put the S/C on it.My car is on there website ( White one ), It is LHT PERFORMANCE . NET.

 

yes it can be done...easy?-NO...fittament is tight and some cases require alteration to the heater core and hoses to retain usability.....it can be done but i would leave it to someone that has done it before. www.lhtperformance.net the owner there has done these before and used to have JRSC on GSR engine in his crx hf. he knows the ins and outs of this and can warn you of the problems

 

John at Lees High Tech is a friend of mine and we actually had a similiar setup on our EFs but his was only set around 10psi. I had mine B18c with JR into my 90si EF. JR set at 13psi. You will want to get the Type-R kit if you have a B16a. Reason being is that the blower sits a little lower and clears the master cylinder better. You will need to show some love on the heater core hoses depending on where your EF was made. I know the Canada models need some love, but the Japan models are fine. LEt me know if I can help, or call John at LHT in St.pete.

Hey thanks guys for all of the help...this was just an idea I had floating through my head...anyways I actually just got the car and boy does it haul ***, but I need to straighten out the tranny situation and brake/suspension setup first...

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but for those who have driven these supercharged b16's, is the extra expense worth it? I've heard some people are disappointed in JRSC'd 99-00 Si's but I would think in a lightweight package this would be killer; torquey and high-revving. Any driving impressions?

 

Holy back from the dead.....yeah the 99-00 si is heavy and the blower is just there to make it faster than your average car. But the JR in a crx/civic is very nice. Especially if it is a street car.

 

Yep, definitely street car. Thanks for the response! How would you compare it to a GSR powered crx (w/bolt ons)? I read someone's response in another post (maybe yours) that LHT had a JRSC's b16 crx running 12's at 8 psi. That seems MORE than adequate.

 

hey is it true that using a hasport mount kit and a B-series...JRSC do not fit?...i believe thats what i read

 

I had a gsr in my Si civic. It was @ 13psi.

I would definately say a B16a +JR in a crx will out do a crx + gsr. John at LHT had a gsr in his hf crx and he was boosting 10psi. He actually sold me the 13psi pulley.

It has been a while, but I know Joe Sawyer at HAsport was working on it a lllooonnngggg time ago. They prolly have it made up now. IM Brian G on here and he should be able to help you.

Hey Jason, ( Blown90hatch) , How you doing ? , Yes the B16a with a JRSC done the right way is an excelent set up . I put a CRX B16A with header' intake and exhaust making 230WHP @10psi , it also makes 154 tq. at 3200rpms. The motor is tottaly stock and is running a Zdyne ECU tuned and built by LHT. A b18C or a B20VTEC will make even more power, Not only does this make a great set up for the street with traction will turn some good quarter mile times.

Another question: Does the JRSC fit in an SiR using the original B-serie mounts??

 

Hey John, doing great man. Sold the EF and now have a 00 hatch. Glad to hear you are doing well. I saw some of your master cylinder braces...

 

just looking to see if any 1 has any updates on this cuz im considering it, thanx>>> e

 

from what i just read on the hasport site, this is NOT true:

 

Wow....back from the dead part 3. Here is the deal. With the hasport kit, you will have to modify I believe the fuel filter's location. There are minor modifications that will need to be done if you use the HCP kit or the Hasport kit. Do not let these little modifications hender your purchase of a setup like this. The JR in an EF + B1XX + more boost is awesome. If you have any more Qs I will try and answer them.

 

i read somewhere on here about heater hose issues on the canadian models like mine, and some issues about alternater pulley clearence problems . What is the difference between the kits 4 the b18c5 and b16 i heard it was something to do w/ a bracket or something they do have different part #'s . Any truth 2 this? If so which 1 do i use ?

just got off the phone w/ keith from Jackson's tech department , now im more confused than ever . I really have no idea which kit to get between the b16 and b18c5 because they r diferent . The b18c5 kit comes w/ a 255 lph fuel pump that i dont need cause i got a holley 255. He also mentioned something about the alternater pulley from the kit being different between the the b16 and b18c5 , he said i should use a gsr alternater? What is the difference between these alternaters? Here goes w/ the exact clearence issues b.s. i need a adapter plate or something which extends the t.b. out of the way of the fuel filter which they sell as a kit for 400. + . Some cutting will be needed to be done on the inner frame wall on the drivers sider 4 clearence 4 the alt. pulley . Other than that the j r s c will def. fit w/ hasport mounts. I thinks thats about it , only thing i wanted to ask was about using my u.r. crank pulley . Sorry this was so long thanx guys>> e

 

thanks for sharing that with us. i still dont see why the alt pulley would be a problem if you already dented your frame rail in when you installed the b16. i know the jrsc alt pulley is twice as thick, but keep in mind that JR moves the alt back that distance. i've asked this question before on hostboard and they said that alt clearance would not be an issue. so i'll keep my fingers crossed on that one. as far as the TB plate that they sell, personally i would not spend $400 on that plate. think about it. all the fuel filter is connected to is two MOVEABLE fuel lines. so i'd say just un bolt it and move it to where it fits ok. keep us updated. this is turning out to be a good thread i think.

 

I just finished my buddy's b20 vtec W/ jrsc...it's really not that tight of fit.. the only real clearance issue was the fuel filter and lines. I removed all the stock plumbing and installed earl's stainless lines and inline filter. The car runs really well...our first time on the track it did 11.5@119.7. dyno numbers were 257 hp 240 tq with 230 ft/lb at 3000 rpm....I'll try to get the pics up later
