need advice....

ok, saving to put in the infamous JDM B18c5 along with a Jackson Supercharger in my lil hb and want to know if there is a better set up b/c i'm going for speed and performance. would it be better to get a different engine and build it up and add the Jackson?? if so, which one?? what kind of numbers do you think i'd be putting out with the SC running at 12 psi?
help is greatly appreciated

i'd like to know how to get a JRSC to 12 psi, i know they come pushing 6(what mines at now) and can be upgraded to 8 with the pulley upgrade, and if you can get it to 12 psi dear god please build the motor

I SAW ON EBAY THIS GUY SELLING SOMETHING THAT WOULD UPGRADE IT TO 12....NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS B/C IT WAS A WHILE AGO...BUT CAN'T ALWAYS TRUST EBAY.....SO WHAT WOULD I PROBABLY BE PUTTING OUT IF IT WAS RUNNING AT 8 PSI:confused:

If you build it, the turbo will come..... you can put out 12 psi with virtually the smallest turbo and it will spool almost as fast as the S/C. Beyond that, size comes into play. I know the Greddy 15G can boost reliably to 14psi. After that, it starts to go dead at the top end.
Trying to get a S/C to push out that much will probaly cost you a nice little penny, not to mention the extra heat that it PROBABLY wasn't intended to produce in the first place.
If you want to go that high, get one MADE for it. And, believe me, you're going to PAY for it......

I KNOW.....THEY COST $3300 WITH JUST 6PSI

Just build an Ls/vtec engine, I saw a turbo single cam at the track running 16 flat, slow, If you ask me. true that he could have been using low boost, or couldnt drive, or maybe he wasnt tuned, but still, think about it. 16 flat.:rolleyes:

Experience tells me this is almost one of the WORST things you could do. I've said it time and time again, and a bunch of guys here and at other forums can vouch with me on this...The LS/Vtec swap is usually more trouble than it is worth! You'll encounter unforseen problems and expenses you're not ready for, and you'll constantly be "tweaking"(what LS/Vtec owners call MAINTAINING:rolleyes: ) the engine. Just my opinion, but if I were you I'd forget about the LS/Vtec and think about a turbo setup instead. Not too sure about what your goals are, but it sounds like the power you want to make will be easier(and cheaper) to make with a turbo than with a supercharger.

Something was wrong with that guys shit! I never ran that bad when I first dragged mine....without the FMIC @ 7psi. Geez....
