Supercharge a prelude

I am planning on putting a supercharger on my 93 prelude SI (h23a motore) but I don't know what parts I am going to have to change or even what are good name brands for these parts. Could anyone tell me the brand and parts I would have to change in order to run a supercharger with about 10 psi into the h23a motor???

Unfortunately theres is no Supercharger for a 4th gen w/h23. The JRSC from the 5th gen w/h22 fits a 4th gen w/h22 with modification; so unless the h22 supercharger bolts right onto the h23, you're in for a double modification.

Even if I do the modifications needed what is a good supercharger to get and what other things will I need to change in my motor so that it won't blow? with only 8 psi.

Re: Supercharge a prelude

i was lookin into getting a s/c for my 4th gen, wouldnt be worth it. the modifications are made to the firewall. dont know how much it would cost to make room for it but i know it wont be cheap. strengthen your internals an go turbo.

to your question, Jackson Racing makes one and the modification you'd hav to do for it to work right would probaly be a h22 swap an the firewall modifications and strengthened internals of course.

Sleeves and low comp pistons would probably the main things.

JE pistons and Darton sleeves would be my prime choice.

Aceshigh could you tell me how much it costs to put that jrsc on your car and how much work it was for you? How much boost can you run out of it and what else did you have to do to the motor so that is doesnt blow?? please reply to all of these questions, thanks.

I'm pretty sure that's not AcesHigh car, just a picture he had. As for the boost question, I know it's possible to up the psi to 9 by swapping out a pulley, but I think you'd require building your motor first. And if you build your motor you might as well go turbo.
