ok i have come to a conclusion of what i want. i wanted to know if anyone has this setup or close to it... i am gonna go with the b18c1, people tell me its the best motor for boost. i am going to put a jrsc on it at 8psi (dont want it too harsh for daily driving). then when it comes race time, i will hopefully run a 50 shot with the jrsc.

does this sound like a good idea for what i am trying to accomplish... a nice daily driver that has potential to go low in competition? should i lower the shot, what do i need along with this setup?

thanks for the feedback

 

will you be building your motor?

i'm not sure what a b18 can handle but i'm running 9lbs on a d16y8 with the jrsc. from what i've been told it can handle 10lbs. i'm considering running a 35 shot in 3rd and 4th. not sure if it can handle a shot withouth being built.

anyone know how much boost his motor can handle?

 

I would only do a 20 shot or so. Still, a turbo would be much less complexity and easier to tune, plus you actually have an intercooler unlike the JRSC.

 

There are some convoluted FMIC setups that people have fabbed up for the JRSC, and some one-off water/air ICs that they've sandwiched between the blower and the JRSC manifold, but your point is still completely valid. The only way to cool the JRSC's intake charge without running a custom FMIC or water/air setup is to use water injection. I think Jackson actually sells an "intercooler" kit that is exactly that.

 

i did not go turbo because it is not smog legal here in ca. so the next closest thing i could think of was this setup. Greddy is the only smog legal turbo but once u put the intercooler etc on it, then it becomes illegal. the best psi u can get with the stock greddy is like 6psi, the jrsc makes about 10psi at the most which is more. so i figured id go 8psi or so with the s/c, then use the shot just when i needed it. thats the situation

btw, NX makes a kit that has a 35 shot, thats what i think im gonna use. so the 35 shot ontop of the 8psi jrsc shouldnt be a problem with the right piston setup, JE 9:5:1 maybe?

 

Don't go NX, go with either Zex or NOS dry kits. The fuel from the wet kit eats the teflon coating on the blades in the blower.

 

dubster where did u get that info, i thought wet was better?

 

Wet is better IF you don't have a supercharger. The fuel from the wet kit will 'sandblast' the supercharger's rotors.

Personally, I think you're making a huge mistake with a supercharger.

 

u probably suggest turbo right?

 

Nitrous and a modded JRSC won't be "legal" either.

I'm not too well accquainted with the California smog laws, but I believe that you first can go to an independent shop that does a tailpipe sniffer test. If you don't pass that test then you have to go to a smog ref who does all kinds of other more pain-in-the-ass tests.

The independent shops don't really look at the CARB stickers and such, do they? With pretty much any setup you should be able to keep tailpipe emissions low enough with a quality cat and good tuning of your fuel delivery.
