Hondata and Jackson racing have been working hard on a kit for the base rsx. One guy on club rsx has the prototype race version and is pushin like 230 whp and 172 tq.

pretty good news since its all on an A3

maybe well get some love too...i know a few people on the board have been dissapointed with the numbers on the JRSC. But these numbers prove that it is indeed a good mod. as i said, hopefully well get some more love too.

sounds like this kit is a little more akin to the Race Version JR was supposed to release.

larger injectors, tuning, 4" pulley ... not the same as the streetcharger version currently out for the EP.

i wonder if it's compatible.

why wouldn't it be?

There are a few differences in between the RSX and Si.

well, for starters, the RSX SC is mounted horizontally, so right there i'm pretty sure it wouldn't fit. i was referring to the rest of the system (pulleys, tuning maps, etc.)

yea i saw that post on clubrsx. Very good numbers. Now I wonder how realistic it will be to get +75whp on a car other than one used (albeit indirectly) for Hondata/JR's advertisement purposes.

it might not be +75 whp...but the tuning that went into creating that ecu will surely help out those ep'ers with JRSC. maybe +65whp :D

adding
the JR Racing Manifold
the JR/Hondata tuned Ecu
the larger injectors

should all be possible on our Si...even if the SC mounts differently

this is what those guys with JRSC have been waiting for!!

the pulleys from the superchargers on both the types, base rsx, and si are interchangeable. I have the 4" pulley sitting in my hatch for when I want more boost, it works. But I don't drive around like that because I'm still awaiting on the hondata tune with bigger injectors and a smaller belt is really needed.
Here's pics of the type s pulley on...notice the idler screw is all the way down...it's not even touching the idler pulley, the idler pulley is only staying because I cranked the screw pretty tight...that's another reason I don't drive around with that pulley on.

Other than that, I'm sure a separate tune will be needed for the si, since the si doesn't have a power steering pulley, and that may have some slightly different affects with hondata's tune...I wish they'd hurry up

hmmmm thats tru...hopefully theres a way for them to circumvent that issue and avoid a dilemna. i do hope jackson Racing/hondata start workin on this tho. if they come up with a way for more people to be getting 200+ whp they would be selling these SC alot easier. I know (or at least think) it can be done easily. They just need to tune the Si correctly.

i had the 4" pulley on my jrsc all weekend and put over 400 miles on it and no problems with it

Also, don't you think it's a bad idea since the belt could come off easily?

Hope you're not getting detonation. I don't think it helps much with the stock setup of the injectors and jr power card.

no belt sliping.. i have a longer tentioner bolt so it can go all the way down ... i only read 7lbs..

I didn't have any slipping, but I didn't want to chance it with that much more boost and blow the motor.

i still use the 63" belt but i bought a longer bolt to push the tenstion pulley all the way down.. with the bolt it comes with it will only go 7/8's of the way down.. now it will go all the way down

ah! good idea..same prob I had...so you think it's safe to run that amount of boost?

well i havent had any detonation.. a/f looks to be good.. .only thing i worry about is the injectors.. but where does it say they are maxed out at 5lbs?

I haven't seen any proof, but I thought hondata said they were maxed out at 5lbs...I could be wrong. One thing though, they said that with the k20a3 (base rsx) they had 440cc injectors and they had 75% load at 8lbs of boost....just imagine the stock ones which are 250cc I believe at 7lbs of boost...

i'm almost sure the stock injectors are 270cc. either way, they'll be undersized for more boost than 5lbs IMO.

im stoping by to try and get a dyno time set up for later this week with wideband O2 so lets all pray i get some pulls in.. i do it with the 4.4" and the 4" pulley to see the power difference
