Low End Power
They are different types, that is why. The Vortec is a centrifugal supercharger that "functions" more like a turbo because of the curved fins spun by a rod whereas the Jackson Racing one is powered by a belt that spins rotors.

Yeah, I'm kind of stuck on the same thing a little more low end & top end. A guy at the Atco Nopi show was telling me of a few things I can do for my B16A1 & my GSR. On my B16 this guy said I should use a skunk 2 manifold which is a little cheaper than the Type R should give more top end. I need another tranny so he said I should do a Type R tranny which also has LSD so I should have more top end also. I can do a hydro conv. for my 91 Si Civic. Would any one recommend this or just get another B16A tranny w/ LSD. I have a intake,exhaust & 4-2-1 DC sports.. Any advise hollar.

if i'm not mistaken a friend of mine said that a lightweight flywheel will help with low end power, as well as getting some mild cams, and as someone else said 4-2-1. i got a 90 crx si with the stock d16a6 in it. my clutch is sticking open so it's costing me like 3-4 seconds total in the quarter. i'm the president of a car club in victoria,TX and i got beat by my 2nd slowest car here a couple a weeks ago because of the damn clutch. basic point to remember....KEEP A GOOD CLUTCH IN AT ALL TIMES!!!!

anyways, why do people always talk about the b18b? why do they skip over the b18a1? is it a bad engine to put into a crx?
It's funny u mention that b/c my supplier doesn't even stock the b181, I wonder y that is?Try this website though http://www.osakajdmmotors.com/introhonda.htm . As I said they don't even stock the b18a1 but you can contact them with tech questions.

Osaka doesn't stock them because there is no such thing as a "JDM" B18A. JDM B18B's are rare themselves, since they where only availible in the early third gen Integra ESi.
