Thanks for remembering guys! :) I haven't been on in a while as I'd sold my Honda for a Nissan. But I sold my Nissan recently and now have another Honda ('08 Civic SI). It's good to see some of the old names still active!

Hang in there. It can get tough. I quit back in January and have been smoke free since. I went from a half pack/pack-a- day to nothing. Cold turkey worked for me. I've been to bars and at first had cravings, but replaced the void with more alcohol, :-)

I guess I can always try to clean the IACV. 7-8 months after the supercharger install.

Hi, Okay, so last time I posted, I was having some issues. Well, now I have a major one, my car won't start! Here's what happens: I turn on the ignition, everything acts fine (no CEL, fuel pump primes, etc...) then when I try to start it it try to turnover but nothing happens. It just keeps...

Well, apparently the local Hondata dealers say that they won't touch it and that I should send it to Hondata. I just called Hondata and they want me to bring it to a dealer to diagnose it. I can't replicate the problem and plan on it to happen. The likelihood that the problem will occur...

Hey guys and gals, Before I begin, here is my setup: 98 Civic EX (D16Y8) with JR Supercharger (7psi), Hondata S300, RC 440s, Walbro FP, AEM CAI, Koyo racing radiator (with new hoses), one Oxygen sensor (factory one) on header, 120k miles on car + motor, hi-flow cat + exhaust. I've got this...

Clio Sport V6. Mid-engine, RWD, 255hp.. Supercarsite.net - 2003 Renault Clio Sport V6.

So, unless I port match the plenum, I'll get a sort of bottleneck effect, right? Any idea what the stock diameter D16Y8 TB is? and what about the B-series. As for getting more air in, I can increase the fuel to match, that won't be a problem. I can retune the S300. I was just thinking of...

Hey guys, I got a few questions: Would a throttle body off of a B-series (B18C1, B18C5, B16, etc...) fit my D16Y8? If so, is there any machining/fitment or special gasket required? I've got a JRSC and I'm trying to get a bit more air to go into the IM without porting it or the head (for now)...

Yeah, it's really fun to drive. Accelerates in any gear. I got torque everywhere now. Overall, this is the car Honda should've built. Paired with the coilovers/rotas, the power is properly put down.

I don't know about their rates. The guy that tuned it rents out their dyno until he gets his installed. He charges $75.00/hour. I'm sure their rates are similar if not lower.

Dyno of JRSC on D16Y8 Hi everyone, It's been a long time since I've posted, but I wanted to share my current set-up with y'all. Finally got my supercharger running like I wanted it and after a bit of dyno time, this is what the power curve looks like. That's a 53whp/25wtq gain over stock...

Jackson Supercharger on 98 Civic EX

I'd look into a 2001-2002 VW Passat. You can easily find them under $10K and it would be enough for a daily driver. FWD, 1.8T (with ok power), mid to upper 20s MPG and has more class than an econobox.

I hope you guys stayed 'til the end of the credits to see the final twist :-)
