Hi all, do you know of anyone going with a supercharger for a 99 gsr? I have 130k miles on my ride and i drive alot of miles to work. I have heard supercharger would be the best way i was wondering if i buy say a jackson supercharger do they give you everything you need? The best i have seen is $2599. Any info will help thanks

I think you'll get better results from a turbo charger instead. It would'nt be good for longevity though. If you want whats best for your car, it would be all motor, but this cost much more. What is it you want from your car?

I wont pretend to know much about turbos or supper chargers, but I do know the most dependable way to increase speed is all motor. After you have new intake, headers, and exhaust, you could get new camshafts. This can add 10 to 20 HP at the wheels. What do you have done already?

Errr not necessarily. A NA teg pushing 300hp might be less reliable than a supercharged one pushing 300 or a turbo pushing 300.

Search this forum and you will die from all the info you find on JRSCed GSRs. Most, if not all problems and questiones associated with the JRSC will be covered here.................on B series applications that is.

130k miles is a bit much to start boosting at, whether it be supercharger or turbo. I'd say get a compression/leak down test and go from there. You might be interested in a rebuild first depending on the results.

Good point 95tegse, do what he said leak down and all get all your little shit fixed oil leaks cam seal leaks any other shit, Then go from there but i wouldnt mind seeing a supercharged integra just cause the fact me myself dont see many and you see a turbo everyday on something...I like turbos i got one my self on my b18 in my hatch now and i love it but if i had money i would have went supercharged..Good luck..later
