    Default Questions before Supercharging my LS!

    im about a month away before supercharging my engine... thus forth its BONE STOCK, curious to know what little extra things should i do to make it run its optimal at the stock 6-7 psi.

    ill be purchasing a brand new kit with all the little nick nacks and stuffs. but is that all i actually need to make it run good before i tune it? or do i need more

    What do you mean by run good? You talking about power wise? What are you expecting to put down to the wheels?
    Back to being stock and slow

    Ditch the FMU that will come with the kit. Buy some 450's and spend the $500 to get it tuned and you should be good.

    talk to jim at motorvations in trussville, al. he helped me out w/ a lot of little things when i supercharged my civic. he is a honda and jackson specialist. there are a lot of things, like relocating my iat sensor to the manifold, that i have never even heard of anyone doing. he also hooked me up w/ rc injectors and a hondata s200 along w/ tuning.

    here's his work number 205-661-3600

    james.

    you have to do that and relocate the map sensor...pretty common when you have boost building after the throttle body and no intercooler.
