As your newly elected moderator, I figured I'd might as well take on a simple task of compiling a list of discussions/posts that would help anyone in their quest for supercharging their prelude. Any specific details not found here should be found through a thorough search of the archives. New members (and even current ones!) should be proficient at researching their own answers.
Because only the kit manufactured by Jackson Racing is out and only available for the 5th generation preludes, this discussion will only concern the JRSC (Jackson Racing Supercharger) kit for the 5th Gen Preludes.
Since this is a work in progress, any help would be greatly appreciated. You can either email me or PM me, or just simply post a message to this thread for new suggestions, or for minor edits/fixes.
Hope this is useful!
By the way, the bulk of this material can also be found at my JRSC website at

Other Tidbits about the Charger:
- Once its on, you
will not clear any front upper strut bar that has been made to date. This means no Neuspeed, DC Sports, or Spoon bars will fit. One look at the installation pictures will surely convince you of this (hint: look at the drivers side clearance).
