theres this guy that used to go to my school with a 5th gen lude talking mad ish cause his prelude is supercharged. i think hes bs'ing, but just outta curiosity, whats the 1/4 mile time for it? im guessing mid to low 14's.

Damn that was quick
i think the guys lying, but im not too sure..he wont show me the supercharger and the last time i asked he said i wouldnt be able to see it because its being covered by all these "wires"

iranman is the only dood that I know in here that has a successful supercharged 5th lude. I'll give a year to see how things work out till I decide to put one in my car as well.
Actually I know a guy that had an electric SC. He talks a lot of crap (and I don't know him very well) and his car is outfitted like a rave machine... But anyway he claims that he gets about 3-4 psi with it, I find it sometimes hard to believe but I've never tried to race him. This was about a year and a half ago at Milpitas GL.

That electronic SC is a bunch of BS. He's talking about somehting called a turbozet. It's pretty much a CPU cooling fan that is approximately the diameter of the intake piping. IT CAN NOT SPOOL UP TO 1 psi less alone 3 or 4. Dyno test show you lose horsepower when using it because it acts more like a freaking restriction than a turbo with all of the space it takes up in the intake piping. It also causes your alternator to increase it's load in orer to produce enough current to get the fan to spin. I've heard some people lost as much as 14 hp at the wheels. Needless to say, it never really made it big in the states. It's made by some indonesian company.
Actually it wasn't a kit, he fabbed it up himself. I think he took apart some vaccumm and took the motor out of it and somehow reworked it into the engine bay. Hmm, I've never actually checked out the RPM's of those industrial vaccumms nor the power drain... maybe it is possible? I don't know, but no it wasn't a crap kit from Indonesia.
Not to sound too harsh here, but if it is a vacumn cleaner motor well it still won't help him.
Try this. I'm not sure if you own a fifth gen or not but, in my 2k lude, if you simply hold the power window switch up even when the window is all the way up, with the engine running of course, you'll see your rpms drop by about 200 revs. The alternator has increased it's loading to meet the increased current draw from the motor thath runs the window. Now that motor is DC. If an AC monster Vaccum motor were used, it would draw a ton of current and kill your torque and hp.
Like I said if he got around this somehow, more power to him. But, I'm pretty sure thath a manufacturer would have developed something like this if it was feasible.
Yup, back when this was (a different domain) a guy posted his time slip of 13.66 with JRSC, stock tires, and perhaps a couple of other very basic mods (pulley, exhaust, maybe i don't remember).
Anyone know if the Integras with JRSC have had any major problems? The JRSC is VERY tempting, but I need to rely on my Lude to get me to work and back most of the year. I would be interested in knowing if the Integras have held up with JRSC, and for how long.
Hambones: Go to hostboard.com and look up the Forced Induction Integras board. You'll see a lot of people being unhappy with their JRSC's.. Until I see a REAL person with a JRSC (not people that work at JR) put down some good numbers w/o huge modifications to the kit I wouldn't go there as of yet.
Originally posted by Hambones Again, that was just with JRSC.
I wouldn't say just the JRSC. I mean, the guy had I/H/E, flywheel, clutch, ignition, pullies, among other things. His setup would be far more powerful than mine.
Unless you meant to say that it was JRSC alone, w/o aid from NOS. In that case I apologize.
Yeah, I meant he had no nos. I was trying to recall the other mods he had to his car, but I didn't want to blindly speculate. To be honest, all his other mods alone without the blower wouldn't stack a ton of power on the car. The clutch/flywheel really act more in support of the extra power from the JRSC, and the other bolt-ons are probably only good for a few extra ponies (10 maybe? people argue this all the time... I still don't know how much power i/h/e adds, but I know it helps especially when utilizing FI)
Anyway, my point is, the guy who posted 13.66 had no other "internal" mods... no cams, head-work, bottom-end, etc. I think it shows a really good idea of the kind of performance you can expect from a JRSC with a little extra tweaking in other areas of the engine.

By the way, I WANT ONE! hehe

I agree and would say that the headers on the market would probably yield more power then on a NA car, but since you are FI, I think something custom with larger merges would yield a good deal more power. As billy and a couple others have said in the past the mugen and dc sports headers still have fairly small merges from the 4-2 and 2-1 for highly modified engines that would benefit from more flow.
