I plan on getting the jrsc for my base 2000 prelude.
1)Will I need to upgrade any engine internals or is it safe to run the jrsc without doing so?
2)Will I need a new clutch,flywheel etc.?
3)What can I do to the engine internally to free up more power?
4)How is fuel taken care of? Will I need a vtec afc? What does the kit come with in terms of fule management?
5)Can I run an obd-1 ecu or is the kit designed specifically for the obd-2 prelude ecu?
6)Things I should watch out for during installation? Any extra parts or acessories needed?

Thanks

Did you even LOOK at the "Sticky" post at the top of the page?!?!?!?

yes but they don't answer my "specific" questions

My apologies. I could have sworn most of those questions were answered in some form or another in that website, but I may be mistaken.

Good for you. I hope you've done the right research so far to get you to this point.

You can run the stock JRSC kit on stock H22A internals. If you're expecting to flog on the engine everyday, you'd better make sure you've monitored the Air/Fuel mixture with a Wideband O2 sensor.

No, you will not need to upgrade your tranny, but it's recommended, especially after the stock clutch wears out. Do a search here, there's been a couple complaints of the stock clutch slipping in 1st gear.

Hmmm, internally there's not much you can do that'll "free" up power. You can have the head and intake manifold ported & polished. Rods/Pistons/Sleeves are unncessary at this point. From the looks of the few dyno charts available, it doesn't look like you'll benefit a whole heck of a lot by upgrading the valvetrain and raising the redline.

It's in the website I provided. And I think it's answered quite specifically. Not entirely, but enough, IMO.
You won't need a V-AFC, but if you (or your tuner) feel your fuel curve isn't as smooth as you'd like it to be, you're more than welcome to purchase one.

If you read the first page of my website (or on the "Sticky" post), you'd know that the kit is designed specifically for the 5th Generation (1997+) Prelude, which happens to be OBDII.
You could run an OBDI ECU, but it'd have to be re-programmed so as to provide the right fuel and ignition timing for a supercharged H22A.

It's in the website.
