supercharger question

[chris hatch]

true, but how many horses do you think i would get with the mods I have right now.:smoker2:

venom 400's are a waste to begin with and using one with a supercharger is only gonna be worse. the thing works by increasing signals to show a higher load then is actually there. using it wit a jrsc will only make things much worse.

as for cams, i suggest you do some reading on them first. cams for a naturally aspirated motor will bleed off boost from increased overlap, not something you want.

yea this guy I met had a venom pcm and he said he loved it, I tryed to tell him he got ripped off but he diddn't think so because his car took off faster, I then told him I have one too it's called a foot and all you have to do is stomp the pedal with it. what an ass!

well depends how much you boost it and what parts..i've seen stock internal EX engine make ~180whp. it might produce more, but there isn't much interest in building up a SOHC EX engine

You might be right on the interest part, but my 99 EX SOHC is pushing around 200HP at the wheels and it's VERY nice. I'm running 9psi with the Greddy 15G kit and a Greddy intercooler. I'm very happy with the performance and haven't had one reliability problem yet. I've had the kit on almost a year now.

what size is your tubo you have on your car, can't you get at least 250 ponnies out of the sohc with a big enough turbo and enough money

Actually, Alamo Autosports in Arlington, TX got 300HP out of a SOHC with the Greddy 15G, inline fuel pump, adjustable fuel press. reg., bigger injectors, and a Haltech MU. Imagine that on stock internals! I spent just over $3000.00 for everything I have.

man thats some cool shit, lot's of money though. Wish I was pushen 300 ponnies

Hey Chris, just thought I would let you know about my experience with a SOHC and JRSC. My buddy works at a performance/audio shop and I was talking to him about doing the same thing as you. He told me that they actually did it for a guy, and it didn't add a ton of power. I don't know if he had the normal I/H/E upgrades and such, but the dyno'd his car and it was only pushing 139 hp at the wheels. That is roughly what the b16a2 puts out at the wheels, so I would assume he was making about 160-165 at the crank. For $3K , I would just buy the b16a2 or b18c1 first, and then got turbo or SC.

What??? That's IT?? Dude, a 97-00 EX puts out roughly 127HP at the crank stock. That install is messed up for real. I ran it with a Celica off the line that had a JRSC and I got smoked. Something isn't right with that guys install. Hate to hear stuff like that....

man that sucks ass that cant be right with all my mods I have right now I raced my friends 95 accord ex 2.2 vtec and i think those have at least 160 at the crank and I beat him by 2 car lengths I need to get my car on the dyno. Thats like 1,000 dollars for every 10 horses what the hell:smoker2:
