Supercharging my Sol!!!

[BirdmanSRT]

What the hell is up IA??? So anyway I just picked a JRSC for the sol and I was wondering if anyone on here has one and what they think of it?

[Andy_013]

BrandenJ has a JRSC on his sol.

[Thighs]

ive always heard that turbos are better for hondas, but idk how much truth there is to that.

[slostang]

sc's are limited to about 8-10 of boost but the offer more tq and constant low-mid range power but for honda that rev 7k+ sc's really suffer on the top end where turbos shine... just my $0.02

[AnthonyF]

Go turbo. You dont get the results you want out of an S/C. Take it from me.

-Ant.

[brandenj]

i'm running a jrsc on my sol, very reliably and hella fun to drive, but if your looking for low 1/4 mile times i would go w/ turbo

[Dwisforme05]

i think its cool if you SC a honda. not as common, but you wont make as much power per lb of boost with a supercharger. i know the JRSC dont produce mass amounts of power, but it will make for a fun drive either way.

[Mdeezy]

if your goals aren't for super high HP, and are looking for more low to mid range. super charge it.

[slostang]

fixed. :goodjob:

[Mdeezy]

thanks. thats what I meant to say

[slostang]

lulz. and your welcome.

[brandenj]

I'm happy w/ mine, just dont run an fmu get it tuned you'll be alot happier w/ it. I'm hoping to make 8 lbs of boost on mine soon but i've been tracking down some problems, anyways gl

your engine looks sick in your sig

[Bruce Leroy]

Is it a b or a d?

[BirdmanSRT]

Thanks for all the input anyway I got it on yesterday and it is making some noise so I am going to have to tear it back off and get it rebuilt. So boo for the seller that told me it was running perfect!

[BirdmanSRT]

Does anybody know who will rebuild a supercharger?

[Sport1.3]

if you dont care about peak power, want instant boost, gobs more tq/better midrange go SC. My 88 S/C MR2 wasnt the fastest top end car, but with a pully swap (cusco 16psi) and exhaust it was a rocket off the line. There was no punch in the seat, it was a constant pull all the way to the moddest 7200 rpm redline

those are 2 places right there that will rebuild it for you and for a little extra they will port it some to, but these are the most expensive 2, anyplace that services eaton units should be able to do it though.

[BirdmanSRT]

Thanks alot! +1 for you! What do you have done to your car?

i have the kamikazi header(the best header for jrsc b/c of the larger runners and collector)
cai
colder ngk plugs and wires along w/ a cooler temp thermostat from jr

i also got mine tuned by scotty, so i could up the boost when need be, but at 5lbs i got 150hp in 98degree weather but now i got it back up to 6lbs so i should be more around 155-160hp

i good way to bump up the boost is with a y8 crank pulley on ur d-series, the boost will go from 6 to 8lbs, at least thats what i'm trying right now

damn I thought you could get 10psi with a sc if you tried hard.

[brandenj]

yeah thats my plan a company called asp racing makes can custom make me a nose cone pulley that can put me at 10.5 to 11 psi and it comes w/ a better lip than jr's pulley did so less of a worry about thrown belts....theres a guy i know thts going over 10lbs right now but that s/c like to get hot so i wouldnt going ovre the 10.5 lbs unless u can inter coll it some how

[AnthonyF]

Exactly my point. You have to run so much more boost to get as much power as a turbo running half as much. If you run too small of a pulley you will have belt slippage, over heating of the belt, tearing of the belt, melting of the belt, or even over revving the S/C

-Ant.

[BirdmanSRT]

Hey Branden do you still have your cruise control?

[Axix23]

i made 280whp @ 11 psi on a jrsc k20 @ 102 iat and 312.4 whp... on 100 octane tune @ 105 iat.. Of the iat were in the 60s/70s, it would be easy +6/10 more whp :)

[brandenj]

no mine is an del sol s, that a d16z6 got a home in haha, but i've never had trouble w/ throwing belts or getting to hot under the hood but then again im only at the 6lbs

[green91]

6-7psi on a small turbo with a z6 will net you low end TQ and 180-190hp pretty easily.

[Axix23]

yeah, run the turbo for more whp/tq on a z6...

[brandenj]

so any more news on ur sol....

have you ever ran it with a sri? I just heard that it works the SC to hard to draw air through a cai.

[brandenj]

i tried it both way....i actually believe the cai works better just b/c w/ the jrsc the under hood temps are outrageous, the cold air reduced that alot, but i hear the short ram makes it seem more responsive w/ the jrsc, but w/ a jrsc u really need it more on the top end anyways, i beat most turbos off the line its the 1/8 mile and pass the jrsc's dont perform well.....

[T34me]

cool, thanks

[scttydb411]

cai would be my recommendation too. the intake charge on a jrsc can get pretty extreme. anything you can do to cool the intake charge is very helpful (ie: cai, water inj, etc).

[T34me]

ok, will do. Like i said, i was just nervous of doing that because of the rumor it worked the charger to hard, but your obviously not suffering from that so i guess its good to go.

[BirdmanSRT]

so any more news on ur sol....

Yeah I got on the supercharger and it runs great! I am looking for a few more thing to finish up the sol! Then I will probly sell it and start a new project!

[brandenj]

^^sounds good, maybe u should drive it a while and enjoy it, haha. but to each he's own i guess...good job man

[joeblo]

you should look into JR's water injection kit. great bang for your buck mod for the sc. cool car!
