a2 jrsc in ep

[rusty#1]

what do i need to do to fit the type s jrsc in the ep i have searched and couldn't find anything

[shadowmd]

ur gona need to do a decent amount of work. like notch the front rad support.....for starters...ur better off gettin an ep s/c. its all the same just fits a hell of a lot better...but im guessin u already have the dc-5 s/c?

[rusty#1]

doesn't the dc5 one give more power thats why it can run a smaller pulley so just the radiator support i thought there was more to it like the power steering??

[shadowmd]

nope, the chargers are the same. its just the manifolds that are a different design. u can run smaller pullies like 3.2" = 9psi on the ep charger just fine. and the ep doesn't have "power steering", its EPS (electronic power steering)

i thought the smaller pulleys out revs the ep charger thats why u cant run a type s crank pulley on an ep charger cuz it out revs it and could damage it and thats why the ep has a larger crank pulley ??

[shadowmd]

nope, the charers are exactly the same. same internals, everything. u just need a different size belt than an a3 would run would the s/c. since the a2 crank is smaller. thats it. there is a member on here with a k20a and it was s/c (he took it off for personal reasons) but it was runnin like 9psi (3.2" pulley) ran good too!

here is his car, keep in mind that its un-tuned....he should be trappin 110mph and be in the high 12's if it was tuned

no its just the way its designed. the ep one will fit and you can get the pulley boys pulley whichever one you want. the a2 can handle the smaller pulleys whereas the a3 can go to a 3.8" max before needing an intercooler/aftercooler.

so both superchargers would make the same power?

what would happen if i ran the smaller crank thats on the type s with the ep jrsc it would cause damage to the ep charger right
