ok some of you may have read me refer to my friend dave with a yellow type r. well he just called me and told me he got a jackson racing supercharger installed (only pushing like 7 psi).



here's my deal, why would you pay so much money to put a s/c on (he said it was over $3k) when you're simply making a 14 second car into a high 13 second car? I mean it's not like the car is gonna be sickly fast now. Altho like i said before i do give the R credit, it's a 2600lb car which handles very nicely, of course at the end of the day it's a 14 second honda but i dunno it is nice for a honda....i'd never buy one (they're like fooking $24k USED, but they only made 3000 of them)



Anyway he said i can drive it through the twisties around here so that's what im about to go do. Hopefully i can get my digi-cam back from my friend anthony and i'll race him with my sister's jeep... s/c vs s/c woo.



bah, on a side note.



RAIN SUX!

Hey whatever floats his boat

ok retraction on my part, the little thing is fast. He is only running about 5-6 psi tho because the b18c5 has 11:1 compression so he doesnt wanna blow **** up. The car feels very strong now for a honda, i actually kinda like it, i still wouldn't buy one tho.



oh and it is pretty sweet in the twisties even tho i HATE FWD, couldnt tap out the potential tho as it's ******* raining and **** here. and my sister was no where to be found for the jeep race, perhaps when it's sunny out we can test the R more https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png.



i still cant believe it's only 2600lbs.

my friend has the civicR and also the same setup... jackson racing s/c @ 7 psi boost... It's fast and it's economical... but like you, I'm on nopiston.com for a reason... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



Incidentally, I raced him the other day, about a month ago, with 289rwhp and he was doing pretty good... from 60mph and up... but before that, he totally couldn't keep up... I think they're excellent when v-tech and the supercharger are combined...



I've also driven it, and I think that the handling is very crappy... He's got the stock suspension and with all that power and weight.... very bad idea... least my opinion...

your friend has a civic type r? where do you live that he got one of those?



yea when the vtec and s/c combined it sounded mean for a honda motor. I like the jackson racing design, it's not blatantly obvious that it's a s/c it's like sorta tucked away.



kevin.

oh, btw.. the 7 is only 2800lbs... or so... at least mine measured 2810 so it ain't that far off... just have to shave a couple pounds off my belly.. ahhahah

ya i know, but the type r has back seats and ish.



kevin.

yeah, my friend owns a type R... well actually it's a dx shell with type r engine... his uncle owns a honda dealership out in maryland and hooked him up....



he's here in jersey now...



yeah, it is very sleek/hidden... If you ever get the chance and in jersey, check it out... ahahah

jersey=jersey city...

oh, he did get an aftermarket fuel rail... so I can see that!... and his MSD... or actually he took it out cuz it caused problems for him

i live in jersey, wher ei go to school there's like a virtual black market of type R engines and **** floating thru constantly. most are stolen from the NYC area and brought into jersey then sold. i can get a Type R engine and trans for $3200 with wiring harness and all.



kevin.

Its still a honda and not worth putting money into...just my thought on honda cars..did anyone see the first ultimate street car challenge? they had a type R with a jackson s/c the ******* thing still only ran mid 14's... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

dave ran a 14.5 on a completely stock type R.



i agree with the honda thing, i wouldn't buy one of these as they're overpriced for being just a honda, but im saying he did buy it, he does work on it, and surprisingly it's one of the rare hondas that i give minor props to.



kevin.

HONDUH!!!

i'd second that!

guy i knew at college had a 97 GSR with Jackson supercharger...I believe at 7 maybe 8 psi...can't remember if he had slicks or not but his best time was 13.4. No weight removed, full leather interior...



Also knew a guy with a Miata and 7psi Jackson SC...ran a 13.9 on street tires first time to the track...got a 9psi belt shortly afterwards...dunno if he ran it after that...



teknics: I saw a Yellow Type R at a Parsippany Movie theater (by Rt 202) not too long ago...but maybe it was another one...



Cool that you got to take the car for a spin https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

probably someone elses, this kid doesnt taker it anywhere that he has to leave it by itself.



total type r integras are 3,000, i think the "phoenix yellow" ones are more rare the CYM FD's
