I dont have an answer to any of your questions, but i was thinkin about getting a supercharger and had some questions. I was wondering how much boost are your running/what pulley? Also are you running 87 octane or do you have to run 91 with it. I want to get one, but was wondering what i all really have to change, i have done my research on turbos and wanted to see what the superchargers are like, and see what else i would need to get.

you gotta run with 93 octane.... and im runnin with 8psi boost... and all the things i changed except for the injectors.... ive heard you can use integra injectors and they work just fine.... i might just use prelude or accord injectors instead and thats about it i think

Have you thought about geting a afc or something, i know you got different injectors, but maybe the afc will help you tune the injectors and the afc reads alot more.

nope...the afc is not the prob. it is most likely something to do with the oil leak. is there any oil in your antifreez? just check the overflow tank. a leaky head gasket is one of the possible problems.
you might also have a clogged injector. try using injector cleaner in a tank and see if it helps any. injectors and an afc would help, however i don't think that this is the problem.
what setup exactly are you running? what engine?
i think the gasket didn't seal properly when it was put back together. where's the oil coming from? is it from between the head and the block?
if it's coming from there than it's definitely that the head is not sealed properly to the block.

btw, billscivic00---i highly recommend the new greddy 19t turbo kit. with the kit and intercooler add-on you'd have quite a bit more power than with a jackson charger, and have TONS of room to upgrade later on. i have the older greddy kit on my 1997 ex and i'm told that the new turbo is better and can go up to 300whp. it's also very tried and true, from personal experience.

You can run 91 octane if that's all that available...I recommend nice spark plugs and a complete ignition system upgrade before installing the supercharger...also if you want a larger fuel pump go with the jackson stage one boost upgrade kit...comes with a boost timer, fuel pump, new sparkies, larger crank pulley, and a new thermostat. Plus I heard venom fuel injectors are complete crap, remanufactured crap that is.
