[kilmer]

i cant find where to buy a supercharger for this car, actually this is
not for me, im buying it for a friend, i just read that the B18c5 is american and b18c6 is european.
i dont know much about superchargers, any place to buy on store or online, i need manufacturers links, and whats thge best one out there
A BIG thank you.:frog:

I would go with the Jackson Racing supercharger but there is also one from Vortech...although it may not be ready for Integras yet. Currently it is for the B16C in the Civic SI. Also as far as I know there is not much of a difference between the B18C5 and the B18C6...I would expect a SC for one would fit the other.

helo
that is my concern, B18C5 supercharger may not mount on the
ITR-99 European (B18C6), i couldnt even find pictures to compare
see if its the same engine and everything, if its exactly the same,
cuz i dont wanna buy a 3000$ us part to find out i cant use it!
i phoned jackson racing, they said basically they dont know
if it can mount and work on C6, they put stupid ppl on the phone!!
another retailer told me it shouls mount, since it must
be the same engine, but he never saw a european model, so hes just guessing.
i need pics at least my only way out
and Honda doesnt sell superchargers ?
what about Eaton, their website is weird, i cant even understand
on what cars it mounts (by the way jacksonracing sc is an Eaton)
too confusing i know..
and thats weird i couldnt find on the net any pics or european super
charger websites! :licker:

basically the UKDM itr is like a hybrid between the USDM and JDM. while its got the USDM exterior look, like the headlights and front lip, it has more of a JDM interior, like the right-side-drive and the sportier interior.
the ukdm is made with the larger plate carrier for the longer thinner plates, it has the same basic side skirts, rear bumper, even front bumper with the exception of the foglights and height-adjustable headlights. it also has a lower rear foglight, based on the right or left depending randomly on where the car was assembled.
the engine differences are mainly in compression (same as JDM 11:1), octane, and it has a little less power as the usdm (i believe), 190ps @7900 (which i think is around 188hp, imight be wrong) 178Nm @7300. it shares the gearbox of the JDM itr. it has a slightly different exhaust manifold, different cat.
umm, and the red H emblems as it is sold as a honda in europe. and a nice wooden trunk floor, unlike the cardboard/honeycomb type in the US.

as for the supercharger...the car uses the same intake manifold and has all the same dimentions as the b18c3, b18c5 and b18c7, so i would imagine that the jackson or vortech would fit fine.

do you live in europe? or did you just somehow score a euro engine?

thanks threethirteen
i understanf that there are only differences in the outside and interior look, not in the engine, except some horse power stuff, and that
a supercharger for us will work on the european model, since ur saying its the same dimensions.
I phoned jackson racing, they dont know anything, one of the custoner service said to me that it has been designed for the us model (B18C5)
and it will not work for the B18C6 since it may not mount.
i know that guy seemed like someone who doesnt know anything.
another guy from a part shop that is a mechanic said there is no difference in the engine except horse hp...and it will mount, but when
i asked him if he ever saw a european model he asid no, so how can he
be sure of what hes saying ?
I live in canada, and im buying this supercharger for a friend living overseas that has a euro ITR-99 car
i tried desperately to find some online european dealers for a supercharger with no success. i even wanted just pics of the 2 models,
to visually compare the difference in the engine, i couldnt find any.
now im stuck , i really dont know what to do, i cant be sure that it will work, and it costs 2800$ us + shipping overseas 500$ us, so for it not to work is not an option :/
