just toying with it at the moment mate... but it would be interesting to get a first hand account of some of the difficutlies, challenges and results... so if you do do it soon then just keep this thread updated
The kit im getting is the $2995 with the 3 pulleys injectors and hondata computer... they said thats theyve done the install with a hoist and with the assist of an engine brace all of which i have... i dont want the turbo cause i mean the vtec and my stage 2 cams are enough for the top end i just wanted my car to have a bit more power getting up to 5500 and get a better launch, im going to leave internals standard for now with the 8 psi pully which jackson superchargers said is fine with stock internals, get the eng. cert like that then do the rebuild with forged internals and put the 12 psi pulley later on
you know you've just contradicted yourself by saying you want to get a better launch with a SC on a FWD !.
if you really wanted to get to 5500 quicker you know there are other routes available without the expense of SC.
plus theres some nice heat issues with FI cars .

Please continue with the better launch explenation.
i could eighter raise the compresstion on the motor to get quicker acceleration, but to do that (properly) i would end up spending more money on the rebuild due to i wouldnt cut any corners( counterbalanced forged steel crank, h beams , some good raised top pistons shot peen, ported head and then i would have to get a hondata ecu to run it all and this makes it all the more pricey cause i dont have my own boring and honeing equipment so i cant do it myself to keep costs down.. and as limbo said with a good oil cooler and ill pick up a 3 row radiator the temps wouldnt be a problem, i do see where u are comming from you can do it for cheaper if i was going to rebuild the motor for high comp it would b alot more costly the way that i would do it

Reason: didnt make sence
With the stock 6psi Jackson Racing kit i don't see any issues with traction based on all the dyno graphs i've seen... and it depends on how you control clutch/accel on launch at the strip...
The vortech kit however... good luck with traction if you have shit tyres and you dump it... that will make for shit launch.
on another note, i had a gt starlet that ran a tiny ct9 turbo... this thing stock ate pulley upgraded 4agze's time and time again... different story after 100km/h though 7psi full boost on this tiny thing was achieved by around 2000-2500rpm and it barely made 100wkw at the dyno hehe
turbo setup will always be better.. it's about being smart with turbo choice for what you wan't... i would personally run a smaller turbo for my b16a if i could... however i'm also still eye-ing the jackson racing kit vs my NA build plans... but thats me.. i'm after midrange or possibly lowend... the B16 is starting to piss me off... makes me look like a hoon when i have to rev it to the **** just to get it moving especially on pacific highway going to central coast with all those uphills

hhmm... i just realised why small turbos aren't feasibly on Honda's.. they rev too high beyond peak efficiency and would kill small turbos hence why bigger turbos are used...

But seriously if you want to be different to others around go supercharged Don't care about the gains or the price (if you could lol) and just think of the way the supercharger deliverys instant torque and the whine if you like that XD
