JDM Honda Civic EP3R Jackson Racing Supercharger Questions and Hesitations

Easy.
Get the a3 kit. Bolts up no issues. Next, 2004 k20a2 exhaust cam. That gives you the same lift but a shorter duration to keep the boost in the motor. 750cc rc injectors, kpro and your done.
I'm putting 272whp 180wtq at 8800 on a 4.0" pulley at 6.5 psi
You don't need meth if you keep the boost low.

How would this go but without changing the 2004 k20a2 exhaust cam?

My target is only 250whp to keep the temps down on track..

well dude the 4.0 pulley will keep your temps down anyway, what type of track duty we talking here? auto-x? drag?

I normally drag but hoping for some track early next year
I still getting my head round SC tech, so the 4.0 pulley is the internal one inside the SC?

noooo, the 4.0 is on the outside of the blower, your serpentine belt runs around it

So why would that keeps temps down?

Just get the rsx 02-04 s/c kit, some 650cc or so and a 3.4'' pulley. K20a are perfect for supercharging. with some good i/h/e mods you can hit ~300whp with the 7psi pulley. :up:

Yeah that's the kit I've been looking at but its a lot more money lol

what's the main difference between the rsx 02-04 and the cheaper SI kit?

The EP3 specific kit will fit the car with no cutting etc. The RSX kit will fit buy may require some cutting.

If I were you go with the RSX specific kit and then you can install a water to air aftercooler setup from Jmercado (He is a boss).

I'd love to swap to the RSX JRSC manifold, bypass valve assembly, inlet, etc so I could run the aftercooler on the shitty K20A3 motor we get here in the states. I have a dry N20 kit just sitting at the house begging to be installed but I'd rather not scatter this motors internals every where just yet, need the FD to be drive able first.

I've been told the best opt for my EP is the DC5 kits moding for the EP3

[eurosteez]

So why would that keeps temps down?

ideal gas law...less boost = less heat

[neoamd]

That is what I said, go with the RSX kit. :facepalm:
