Super Charger

[whitejdmcb7]

Ive Been Looking Around And I Wondered Since Jackson Racing Makes Superchargers For The 97-01 Preludes What Is The Diff Between Them And Obd1 Preludes Why Do They Only Make Them For Those Years???? Wouldnt It Be The Same For Obd1

sorry to be offtopic, but why do you want to supercharge an H22? it makes all it's power past 4k-5k rpm and the supercharger won't boost near 6k-7k no? correct me if i'm wrong, but supercharger will only boost low-end and midrange power no? I confuse why they did make a supercharger for H22.

no supercharger gives you full boost at 1k rpm. buddy. turbo h22 would be cheaper.

Im Just Asking Cause I Was Curious Ya Know

[quickangel93]

idk much about the motors. they might be the same, you'll need to check up on somethings. but jr superchargers cost like 4k and a turbo would be half. also you need a bunch of tunning done.

Wrong. Yes they boost earlier but they do not reach peak boost till a certain rpm and it certainly is not 6-7k. I would say 3k or so and it also depends on what pulley you are running. They make it for the 5th gen because they have there reasons. Prob because tehre is more space in the engine bay and other stuff like that to consider.

The JR blowers will work everywhere in the powerband. They will give you more grunt on the low end, but you'll see some gains up top too. It's not like they magically quit working in the upper RPM bands. True, they're not as efficient up top, but they're still producing power.

Do some reading on Roots Type blowers. It's all over, as the Roots is one of the oldest designs out there (reason being they're cheap and they work great).

[NAiL05]

Yes efficiency is lost top end but roots take some time to get up to boost depending on pulley. Some KB cobras I have seen running 15 or so lbs take like 2000 or so to reach its max. Full boost takes some time but its a lot quicker than a turbo.

Just for reference, here's a VERY old dyno graph from my truck. Roots are INSTANT boost. Look at how flat the torque curve is. But, you can also see, it falls off up top.

To answer your question. Engine bays are different. There would be clearance issues

[cb7rolln]

i've seen a vid of a supercharged cb7. so it can be done.

[Boost_Lee]

a sc would feel great driving around the town, cuz the power is instant. It all depends on your preference, but you'd see bigger gains overall with a snail.

its been discussed so many times here.

yea it can be done, but his question was why don't they make them for the older preludes

[cb7rolln]

i do believe the cb i saw with a sc h22a or h23a 2.3vtec showed how he modified his engine bay to fit the sc. the early ludes and cb's weren't designed for sc applications from the factory.

[turbomaxx]

i just dont see why you would want sc over turbo. i mean, i know the obvious, instant power, but turbos generally have more potential power dont they?
