Has anyone put in a Supercharger for DC5 2005+ ? Would be interested to hear of the results and where I can get the kit from ie Jackson Racing

Traffic and a front mounted charger is not so good.

Heard mixed reviews about supercharged K series.
Some experience engine temps going abit above N.O.T.

Id think a turbo charger is more efficient and cheaper.

there is a HKS turbo kit for and dc5 that bolts straight on, been out for a few years. No one has any probs and you don't have to butcher the carf for piping etc as it designed for that car. Search it and you will find. I was going to get one but didn't get a dc5.... got a jdm s15r so ya know...

I've had a look at other sites but they're all non australian, I was hoping someone had already done this, especially since its a PITA to try to get ECU upgraded for a 2005 Type S in Perth. I've done the basic bolt ons ie Mugen Header, Mugen Twin Loop, GruppeM, Mugen SS, ADVAN rims and was considering what I could do next to increase acceleration.

Any suggestions clutch/ecu?

i would say go for cam, valve, spring, intake ported and RBC or even piston. and of cos tuned. this wil increase the power significantly. if u supercharged or turbo it in future, it wil be more reliable.

Yeh but, if you just get forgies on stock compression, you wont be able to run high boost.
You run boost with 11:1 comp ratio, it kills the meaning of having a reliable motor, even with just 5-10 psi.
If you have the money to take the engine out and get forgies, but not a turbo kit. Then just make a high comp motor.
Or make it a low comp and live with a less responsive motor.

Headwork isnt all that important unless youre running in excess or 20psi of boost. Stock honda heads are designed fairly well.

At the end of the day it comes down to your goals and budget...
Just remember that it's always cheaper to do it properly once then having to consistently pour money into it.
Be realistic about what your trying to achieve, what you'll be using it for and how much your willing to spend.
Ideally you should save up the money for the whole build and have it finished in as shorter time as possible. This will allow continuity of the build, less time off the road, a saving in labour costs and a workshop/mechanic that knows your car inside and out....etc.
As far as parts go, you generally get what you pay for.
Also, I'd go turbocharging over supercharging, with performance and local knowledge just two of the reasons why.

Good luck with whichever way you decide to go, your sure to have an absolute blast feeling the car transform.

Hope this helps, if so a pq point would be greatly appreciated.

jrsc designed their superchargers for stock engines though - ideal if you're not aiming for big power, just that little bit extra

I like the idea of superchargers where its instant power not like boost where you you get that lag effect. First step I guess would be to find a ECU for my 2005 Type S. I think E-Manage Ultimate is probably the best bet, any other suggestions.
