I am thinking of supercharging my 01 TYPE-R . Dont really know to much about superchargers. So I dont know where to start. Can anyone help me out on how to get started setting up for a supercharger. Such as internal.....or what not. IDK

THINKING ABOUT THIS SET UP
http://www.supercharger.com/Shop/Vie...eIndexID=38961

I have been supercharged for exactly 1 year as of tomorrow.
I have learned a lot, but I am still learning as time goes by, so keep in mind that I am no expert....

I have the JRSC on my car with the upgraded Motorvations 7.5 psi stepper pulley. The fuel pump must be upgraded, and I have the Walbro Hi Flow pump. Another thing that you NEED is engine management. I went with the S300 and it is in my opinioin well worth the money.

I would say that internal wise, you do not need to change anything. My motor is stock. You would need to build the motor for boost if you were going to run the full amount of boost that can be made with the JRSC, however in my eyes it is not worth it. The more boost it makes the more heat it makes. When it starts making too much heat, you will see an increase in intake temps which will lower the power output as well as increase your chances for detonation.

In short,
1) accept the facts that you are going to have some major headaches once going boost.
2) Upgrade the fuel pump, change the engine management.
3) If you want more power, get a better header, test pipe, and a 2.5" exhaust with no bottle necks, Hondata Intake Manifold gasket.

The stock motor will be fine for the boost from the SC (stock 5.5 or upgraded 7.5) If I were boosting any more, I would get an intercooler.

have u ever gone to dyno yet? How much power you making with your set up?

Yes, I have been to the dyno.
It is very important to get it tuned as soon as you install the supercharger.

With my setup I made 220 hp. That may seem low to some, but to me is quite impressive. I am still using the stock exhaust manifold, stock cat, and I have a catback system that is smaller than 2.5" in diameter. My exhaust is holding me up without a doubt. I expect to see at least 255 hp when I change the exhaust system.

If you want, I can scan in and upload my dyno results. I made peak power at the set redline of 8900. If I had a build head that could allow me to rev higher, there is still some potential for more power.

Yea, it would be awsome to see your dyno tnx. Also I had a question about your build head, what have been done to it and how much it cost you?

Wow a supercharged guy that didnt post up his tq numbers...impressive JK


I have seen some really impressive number from SuperChargers now days...you know my thoughts and what I would do tho

I do not have a built head. It is completely stock right now.
I was just saying that if I did have a built head and was able to rev higher, that there was more power to be made.

All of my internals are stock, in the head and in the block.

When I go back home I will scan in my graphs.

here is the graph:
Please note, the dyno used was a DynoDynamics, so the graph shown was converted to represent a dynojet. The AFR printout shows the power made on the DynoDynamics, not dynojet in case you noticed a difference in HP readings.
