Nothing wrong with putting a SC on a GSR. However, there is more to it than just simply bolting it up. Plan to spend a good amount of time and money tuning the car to ensure that the car runs properly under all conditions. You do not want to be leaning your car out when you reach VTEC.
not to mention the fact that the TB is moved about 6-8 inches over so ur gunna have to give ur intake some love w/ the old hacksaw...and yeah it's fun but once u reach a certain point...u run out of options and mods
Personally, I think superchargers sound bad as hell. I wouldnt mess with a guy if I heard his car whine like that. There are plenty of options for superchargers, just not as many as turbos. You can still have a ton of fun with your no-lag boosted set up even though you may not have the growing potential of a turbo. I say go for it and have a blast.

As far as being limited on boost options on a supercharger, a simple pulley swap will give you the added boost that you need. Keep in mind that a supercharger does have it's limitations how my many rpms (not engine rpms, but supercharger rpms) it can spin. If you are reaching the maximum rpms that a supercharger can be spun, it's best to upgrade your supercharger as you do not want to over-spin the supercharger as damage may occur and it will lose it's efficiency.

This street driven (no cage, a/c, cruise control, sub, amp, etc.) supercharged '95 Formula makes 770 rwhp and 682 rwtq with 22 psi from a Procharger F1. This is my other car.The videos are a little dark. You'll have to brighten up the video to see it a little better.

Here's some boost for ya. Watch the front end lift.

Nothing like pegging the boost gauge.

Let's keep this relevant to the Integra, please. Thank you.
And I'd like to go on record briefly:
* Aside from the horror story about Moss Motors being less than stellar with regard to servicing and supporting the JRSC line, there aren't any drastic fundamental flaws with the idea of using a positive-displacement Roots or Eaton-type supercharger on a B-series motor.
* That said, the centrifugal superchargers (Vortech being a good example) have had rather poor results with the B-series. They add significant power on the top end, but do little to help torque off the line. Conversely, they work beautifully on small-block V8s, as they aid high-rpm power (where OHV motors tend to get a little wheezy.)
