ok I have recently purchased a 1990 CRX. I have a JDM b16 (88-91 civic SIR) sitting in my garage. Now im looking at installing it with a supercharger all at the same time. I was just wondering about fit issues, and which supercharger would make the most sense. I looked at the jackson racing site and it wasnt much help and all i saw at the vortech site was a 1.6l Civic SI kit, would this fit on my b16? Any help would be greatly apprectiated.

I was gonna buy a new RSX but a 1000 dollar CRX came in my way and i couldnt resist, I can make it very nice, for way cheaper. mmm sleeper. Anyways, just looking for something around 7 psi, to get me around 200 horses to the wheels. Just a daily driver to have some fun with.

THnx

it should bolt up fine. i do believe that all the b16 heads are the same bolt patterns

ya, i kinda figured it would bolt up, was just wondering if it would fit in the crx engine bay.

Thanks for the info though, any thoughts on the vortech.

minor modifications are needed on the chassis of an eg civic, but on the crx, i dont know.

shouldnt be anything major. as far as bolting right up, it should be fine.

You should however find out if there will be any problems with the under the hood fitment though. there are plenty of guys out there who have put the JRSC into a b16 crx, you just have to find one of em. Not so sure, about the vortech though.

STOP POSTING THAT IN EVERY THREAD IF SOMEONE WANTS TO BUY UR SUPERCHARGER THEY CAN GO TO THE 2 IDENTICAL THREADS YOU STARTED!!!! STOP MESSING UP EVERY THREAD BY POSTING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN, ALL YOU ARE GOING TO DO IS PISS EVERYONE IN HERE OFF AND NO ONE WILL BUY UR SUPERCHARER!!!!DUMBASS!!!!!

if i could I would suggest going with a turbo rather than a supercharger, i may be making my case too late and it may not matter.....superchargers generally do have good points to them though, they are usually more effecient than turbo's. However, with the b16's and other engines that run at unusually high rpms, the turbocharger would definetly kick in a nice boost of horse power (when set up right). Plus money talks sometimes, and turbo kits are typically less expensive...they were in my case.

Turbos are way more efficient than a supercharger! A supercharger is driven by the crank and takes power to make power. A turbo uses wasted energy, exhaust gases, to make power.

what you say is true, however turbos have 'negative' set backs like turbo lag, and such. typically, turbos are designed to give a 50% increase in hp but usually give around 40%...that is the inefficiency I am talking about. However, I have a turbo in my crx, and I haven't found any 'negative' set backs, its fun as hell. that is why I reccommend it!

I guess its best stated that superchargers = power whenever you want it, while turbo's must spool up and such. despite this though, the turbos are better for the high rev motors like these hondas.
