will it blow up supercharged with a 50 shot???
Ok, I've got a 98 dx hatchback with about 98K. It runs nearly perfect and is clean as **** throughout. The oil never turns dark hardly at all even after 3000 miles. Well, I have a cat-back, header intake, basically all the common bolt ons. Well, I need more power. I am gonna order a Jackson supercharger for it, as well as install a d16z6 head. I also want to apply a NX nitrous kit. Wil the motor hold??? Does anyone have similar experience with a D series motor. Can anyone see problems with the head swap?? Should I prpare the block in anyway that will help. Maybe a block-guard or something similar??? Thanks for any and all input

It will last for a few weeks on stock internals. :exnbp: If you want it to last you should look into some crank work, a set of good rods, and some billet pistons. The stock internals are not made to handle that kind of stress and nitrous is hard on stock cast pistons.

Why a JR charger? You should go ahead and get the most bang for your buck ------ Turbo. Some of these guys on here are running some nice numbers with SOHC turbo setups on stock internals.

the only problem with a turbo is the boost is adjustable. I know I wil get addicted to boost, crank that shit up, then blow something. With a supercharger the only thing I can really do is buy a 12lb pulley which probably wouldn't be all too devistating. I guess you could call me a little bit stupid in a few respects, but just like everyone else on this board, I like power, and I will do what it takes to get power.
