The B18C1 is hand's down the best of the best when it comes to a turbo Honda motor. As for the SC I don't have expierience with a SC on a B18, but when it was on my buddies 04 RSX it hauled ass (mid 13's). It was loud (obnoxious but cool) and you could actually feel the torque, but overall it was much more money than it seemed to be worth. If it were up to me, I would pass on it, however, and get a turbo setup. In the end it's much more rewarding.

check out the CRX forum if you havn't already. Jadkar has a LHT intercooled JRSC on his B18C-R and i know there is another guy with a crazy build in there also.

The superchargers are a good option if you don't want to push a ton of power. Turbo has more potential in that area. But for 200-250hp a supercharger can't be beat IMO.

Depends on how much you want to put into it. If you want to go sloppy but cheap then you can just use a fmu. The right way your be injectors and some way of tuning it. I.E. Honda data, chrome, and I think there is others out there, or I'm sure there are places that will tune a chip for it on the dyno. Thats what they are doing with my stang, they put a chip in it and it has four modes, they program each mode, I can have one that is very safe, one that is the most street friendly, one for a differnt fuel. I'm getting it tuned on 93, but if I decide I want to make a little more power than I can go back and have them tune another setting to Turbo blue, then one for Cool Blue or what ever. Its a pretty sweet deal I think, but I've been out of the honda performance seen for a while so I'm not to sure on all of your options.

If you buy the off the shelf JRSC kit you will be fine. however shortly thereafter you will probably want more. If this is the case you should really get yourself a programmable ECU and larger injectors. The parts all depend on how much boost you want to push. The high boost JRSC kit is not that bad because it comes with a fuel pump, larger injectors, and a Hondata (already pre-programmed). If you go high boost (7lbs + ) you'll want to get the setup tuned on a dyno once you're done installing it.

The other thing to consider is the heat. Roots blowers create a lot of heat and this is just a fact. If you plan on doing any type of high boost or prolonged full throttle runs (road course racing) you WILL have to control the heat. IMO if this is the case you MUST use the LHT intercooler. Currently they are the company who sells this type of intercooler for JRSC. Check them out here...........

I am super happy with my intercooler and after a full 30 minute session on Pocono raceway my IATs never went above 160. To give you an idea, my high boost setup on my ITR engine would have seen over 225 degrees easily if it was not for the intercooler.

i agree with everyone above. with the kit, youd be good to go. im a strong advocate for kits, as i put mine together and just had too many problems. let someone else do all the R&D. as far as internals and such, you probably will want more... i personally like the idea of a supercharger, its cool, and it can be a great advantage. on teh other hand, i like the fact that my car hits boost really early and its like instant power when it builds up. i think it all depends if you like that power off the line that starts to increase all through the powerband, or if you like that little bit of lag before the turbo spools and then crazy power to redline.

so If I went ahead and purchased the race kit for 3300:

I could just bolt it right on? Cause I have no intentions of changing out any internals. Would I be better off with the Basic package?

If I bought the basic package for 2200:

Could I use my stock Gsr ecu Stock 240CC injectors and stock Fuel pump? If not even with the basic could some one please tell me what I would ahve to upgrade? I want power but reliabilty. Thank you

Yes and Yes

One thing I do reiterate is with the high boost kit I would seriously consider the LHT intercooler. Also NO way would I go above 10psi unless the blower was ported and the epoxy coating stripped from the rotor blades. At that boost you are reaching the upper limits of CFM efficiency of the Eaton M62 blower and you are right on the edge of over spinning it which is a huge no-no.
