hockeymutt · 05-06-2008, 11:53 PM

hey how's it going.... my question is will an rsx supercharger fix?
i know the the blower is the same and so is the manifold. but i know we have eps and they have hydraulic steering... so what else would i need... cause there swapping our intake manifolds on there k20 i can see it being any harder than a normal supercharger install....?

Which kit?

hockeymutt · 05-07-2008, 07:23 AM

just the basic comptech supercharger....

hockeymutt · 05-07-2008, 07:26 AM

or the jackson race street kit

i think the jackson racing kit for the SI is the rsx kit, just with a different tuning solution.. it requires minor grinding of the Z3 block to fit though.

oh oh i see...cause that would be awesome seeing how used there only going for about 2g's or so..... yea well in that cause cause i would crap my pants if i had to grind my block down..... coiuld i just use the stock tensioner or the cte one?

NIGHTHAWKSI · 05-07-2008, 07:38 AM

from reading the instructions, the grinding of the block isnt a big deal at all. but do your math. if a used JR kit is 2k, you will need tuning for the SI since you cant use the RSX tuning. so assume you get emanage....thats about 1k after you get the boomslang Pnp harness and the emanage ultimate. so your right around 3k.....for $600 more you could get a brand new, never beat on supercharger that is meant for your car....kinda.

or i could send my ecu out to hondata and use the ct reflash for 600... and have a tunned blower..... i cant see why that would work due to that ct and jr use the same eaton blower....

NIGHTHAWKSI · 05-07-2008, 07:58 AM

will hondata flash your ECU with the CT reflash without purchasing a CT blower?

hockeymutt · 05-07-2008, 08:06 AM

i can't see why they wouldnt... when i had the rsx they used to reflash our ecu's for the greddy kit on the side for the same price as the regular reflash... Club RSX.com: Hondata Reflash: GReddy Turbo but it seems they have stopped doin it for some odd reason....
