Who's making a supercharger for us? - Honda Prelude Forum

PatLude · 11-28-2001, 07:52 PM

I really want a SC. The reply I had form JR 2 years ago was that it wasn't scheduled. Since then, no more reply to my e-mails.

Someone here has an ANSWER?

Is there any other SC kit available for our 4th gen?

I just can't wait anymore...............&?%$/!

NO ONE IS BUILDING A SC FOR US

TheGreatOne · 11-28-2001, 08:29 PM

Last I heard JR was making a kit for the H23...well no news on that...apprently it was in R&D...

PreludeNYC · 11-28-2001, 08:38 PM

..with one for our preludes, when i e-mailed them a representative e-mailed me back and said they were testing out the idea, and the development of a SC for our 4th gen would be coming out in the next 2 years, that was like last March, i haven't e-mailed them yet but at their site, it has some signs of this being true.... i personally hope they come out with one for our cars, i mean did you guys see what it did to the Civic Si?? 272 horses!! imagine in a prelude, H22?!!?? SICK MAN!
i hope what they say is true, i think i am going to call them up and nag... i really want one.

Peace,
Jose

The rumor of jackson racing making a supercharger for the h23 is just rumors. Their product display shows a JRSC on an engine that looks like a h23 valve cover. But if you look at the block, it's an h22a4 block. I have no idea why the valve cover looks like a h23 valve cover. The representatives at the SEMA shows were very rude to me (maybe cause i'm 18 and they don't give a **** about me).

The JRSC from the h22a4 can fit on the h22a1 but the 4th gen engine bay is much smaller than the 5th gen. However, i doubt they'll even waste their time on us because of the demand.

GReddy's making a turbocharger for the 5th gen lude too, they said after they make it, they MIGHT try to retro fit it to the 4th gen, but since the demand is going down to hell, they do not know if they want to waste their times.

Most of the vendors at the SEMA show (AEM, GReddy, JRSC, Weapon-R, DC Sport, etc.) have no new products coming out for the 4th gen lude. If they do, it's a very limited production piece. It's sad that we're being left out in the dust.

Hope this helps everyone....

was it just missing the spark plug wire cover?

Z · 11-29-2001, 05:48 PM

no it had a valve cover, a valve cover from a h23a (2.3 DOHC NON-VTEC)

PreludeNYC · 11-30-2001, 06:04 PM

..he didn't ask if it had a valve cover he said spark plug cover, but from what you are saying, H23's don't have spark plug covers, hmm thats odd that it H22A4 code but an H23 valve cover....
thats freakin weird!!

Alright here's the scoop. If you check out this picture, it's off HondaPrelude.com, it has a Supercharger on a 4th gen Prelude. It is off of CAZ's setup, and he explains that he is working with Jackson Racing for a supercharger. But he already has the prototype on his car.

Just the facts, check out his setup if you dont beleive me.

Crate · 12-01-2001, 11:52 AM

His setup says HE can sell you the JRSC + the necessary adapter to make it work correctly. and it lists his #... damn yall. thats kinda tight. hehe I'd still rahter have a turbo i think. hehe

PatLude · 12-01-2001, 09:27 PM

Thanks for the scoop!!!!

I'll try to reach the guy...

Tight fit!

4bidden · 12-02-2001, 03:31 PM

IM me at jeremyiselite on AIM or PM me on here for info on that supercharger. i met that guy last night at the local hang out in AZ. his car is niiiiice. i have most all the info that he would tell you probably. DO NOT contact jackson about that charger though. just IM me and i'll give you the scoop.

caz · 12-02-2001, 06:47 PM

Well I guess the cat is out of the bag now! It used to take honda prelude .com about one to two weeks for our pics to post so I figured by the time the supercharger pic posted I would be a little farther ahead on the 4th gen conversion kit! Iam currently developing a conversion kit for the 4th gen preludes with the jackson racing supercharger. Please dont contact Jackson racing about this as they are leaving the 4th gen kit in my hands for now, they will probably say they dont know anything about it or they will refer you back to me. If you need to contact me, my email is on the site.

4bidden · 12-02-2001, 11:22 PM

yea, just like i said....caz knows his stuff. just drop him an email if you have questions or something, hes a really nice guy and im sure he'd be willing to give you some info on it. i was so excited last night when i met him...then he told me about the SC and i almost lost it! lol heres me checkin out his totally WORKING climate control...

Swordfish · 12-02-2001, 11:28 PM

Okay.. Caz is now my fourth generation hero. ETD_Racing is my 5th generation hero. Gall.. I love you guys. Hey caz, get that car dynoed! I wanna know how much ponies u are running before/after that s/c.

Crate · 12-03-2001, 12:30 PM

I'm not trying to be overly optimistic here or anything, but im ASSUMING this dream will only come true for 4th gen vtecs correct? Us h23 guys gonna get a conversion too?

Jackson Racing would get a sudden surge in SC sales if that happens.

Thanks,
Creighton

ProjectPrelude · 12-03-2001, 12:33 PM

4bidden · 12-03-2001, 05:49 PM

YOUR PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED!

the h23 kit is next in line after he finishes the h22. torque on the h23 w/ SC will by insane. i'll keep you guys posted on his progress. and once again....DO NOT contact jackson racing about these superchargers!
