And they have a lot more power to steal from the crank than our 1.8L 4 bangers do.

Subpar build quality, sub-par power gains, and some of the worst customer service I have ever heard of. But hey, it is your car, so do what you want if you don't mind having to jump through flaming hoops to get decent customer service when it starts leaking castor bean oil. h:

there are many people in CA boosting with turbo. Get a greddy turbo which is CARB legal if you're worried about it. It doesnt really matter if its on a CRX or not, its still a car, and nealry in the same class. Honda/Acura, you should be worried. This guy paid for the product and he got nothing but pain in the ass, he was also expecting good quality. But, you can do what you please, we all learn from our mistakes. You post here for advice and guidelines, but you won't hear us out. There is really no point of you posting and asking for our recommendations if you arent hearing us out.

Doesn't matter if it is on a CRX or an Integra, it is still made by the same company. Supercharging is not your only option for boost in CA. I live in California and I have a Greddy kit with the Type 31 intercooler and I probably won't have too many problems passing smog.

I would consider supercharging a last resort. Unless someone has a gun to your head or will pay for all the parts and installation, there is no reason you should supercharge a 4 cylinder car over turboing it.

I paid around $2700 for the turbo kit and intercooler. Greddy is working on getting the CARB exemption on the Type 31 intercooler. By the time I take smog in September, it will most likely be exempt. I know the blow off valve will not pass, so I will have to rig something up, so I can remove it.

You get what you pay for, and you won't get much with that cheap JRSC kit.

wah such negative tone from you "greengsr2k". we're just stateing our opinions on JRSC and giving you some other suggestions through our experiences and other peoples experience. Take it or leave it, no need to start saying its too expensive. cmon, with preformance you can't save money.. you're going to end up tuneing it which is the most important thing, then if you buy lower quality products, like the JRSC, you'll end up using more money on repairs. but, i dont realy care what you do with your car, you can mess it up or not, we gave our advice. take it or leave it.
