I've thought about this before....

Everyone has heard it's very hard, but what exactly must be done to make it fit? I believe Satan said something bout it before...

You are very misinformed. There is plenty of clearance....its tight, but it fits fine.

if you want to spend lots of time and money on a supercharger set up, do something impressive and do a centrifugal setup instead

And what's impressive about that? A torque curve just like that of a turbo, and it cost 2-3x as much

And WTF was that about, Lone Luder!? You's is one KrAzY KrAcKa!, yiz0 ! ! !

Since a JRSC is supposedly reliable it'd be pretty sweet to know exactly what's involved in fitting it to a 4th gen.

The cynics are prob right- its prob. a hugh pain in the *** but I'd still be interested in hearling more details on how it was done.

PS: can we get someone to post what he says if you email him

THANKS

I may be able to call ya tomorrow while I'm at work.

I might wish to do this on my H23 VTEC in the next year.

I was talkin to a guy who is a friend of yours, 4Bidden on Honda-tech.com,
and he was tellin me a bit about you. What's your engine buildup like?

What all has to be modified for the blower to physically fit w/ no probs?

Just wondering what it took to do this, from someone who's done it before.

&gt;Hi Andrew,
&gt;
&gt; Yes I do have a JRSC on my 4th gen prelude, There is a considerable
&gt;amount of work involved to do it correctly, do you have a h22 or an h23?
&gt;I cnc machined some brackets to make it work also, I sell the brackets
&gt;as well, or I can sell the whole kit. If you get a chance you can call me at
&gt;xxx-xxx-xxxx

b/c you apparently have fitted a Jackson Racing supercharger onto
a 4th gen prelude...is this correct?
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;If so, I was basically wondering what all was required to make
it fit? Like what modifications, and maybe extra parts that were needed.
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;Thanks!

CNC machined brackets... he's a showoff.

Not all of us have a CNC machine in our garage. I'll stick with the plasma cutter, a half case of budlight, and my welder.

Now, the good thing about the JRSC is that it is more street friendly than a turbo. There is no turbo lag, boost spikes etc. You know exactly what to expect.

Doesn't mean I want one... but it has it's advantages for some people.

Yea, I've seen it in person. Definately takes up some space.

He didnt CNC the pieces himself, he had someone do it for him with his designs.

The guy from the Marland prelude club with the jrsc called me about the issues he was having, first off he took a sledge hammer to his strut tower to try and make clearance, lol and then he said he couldnt run any boost and he didnt care about the boost anyways , he just wanted it for show. Thats a lot of cash to spend for just show.

Welcome to the world of import dreams and the ricers that live them. It's hard to get taken seriously when you have so many people like what you described.
