If u get a jrsc, and u re-do the whole engine, like hone it out, or bore it out(if u can even do that)new pistons and rings, rods, and so on, how much boost can u actually push, and what size pulley can u get on there since the jrsc one isnt really that big. thanks, Mike Johnson
You can push alot, but since the JRSC doesn't have an intercooler, the intake charge starts getting hot and you start seeing diminishing returns quickly after 8psi.
If you're planning on rebuilding your engine, the JRSC doesn't have enough potential for you. To get the most out of a fully built H22a, you'll need to go turbo.

Actually JR just announced that it is coming out with an intercooler. They said it will be 6 months, but as we all know that probably means 2 years. Also if you want a supercharger and have the engine fully built then another idea would be a shot of Nitrous. This would cool the air going into the supercharger and also create some great times/power for you. Typically a 50 shot of Nitrous would mean about 80 hp to the wheels on a supercharged motor.
The Prelude supercharger doesn't share the same size blower or even the same intake tract configuration as any of the other JR Honda kits. The blower is also very close to the hood already. It would have to be put in in such a way as to not lift the blower almost at all. I would give a Prelude application very slim chances for production.

The Prelude kit uses the Eaton M62 Supercharger, which is the same blower found in the GSR and Type R applications (B18b and all the 1.6L engines use the M45 supercharger).
And though it is true about JR's intercooler statement, we (as in Prelude owners) will be hard pressed to find one coming our way anytime soon, as DirtyLude mentioned, due to the fact that our blower just sits right on top of the manifold. JR mentioned that the intercooler will extend into the manifold itself. However, because they manufacture their own manifolds for all the other engines, it makes sense to give them half a year to concoct something that fits within their own design. For us, I'd say play it safe and keep it under 8psi until things are in the clear. It'll be tough trying to fabricate that'll fit in that small region, given it's current state of tight fitment.
Ok Mark, can't take the pressure, eh?
