No. The beauty of JR s/c is they are perfectly designed for stock honda engines. They require no major modification. They are a 'set it and forget' application. Bigger injectors would only be needed to run 10psi or more typically.

Next time I do a boost application, it will most likely be a s/c. Reliability, simplicity and no frills (in a bad way) is what makes a s/c great.




*For the turbo people, I know about tune this and tune that, but from what i stated above a s/c is superior to a turbo in that manner. No need for arguement, its been discussed millions of times so you all should know where im coming from.

I looked at the Civic s/c and it looks like you can even run 8psi on a stock d, no?

Bone stock. Wait... im not sure. out of the box it will do 6psi...which you can run bone stock. You have to get an underdrive pulley to get 2 more pounds out of it but theres something else you need to do for that.... I just cant put my finger on it.

you can definately find JRSC kits on ebay much cheaper than list if youre patient. They come and go, but theyre out there. I had a guy offer me a kit with injectors, intake and a fuel pump for 900 bucks.

This is simply what I would recommend.

6psi, JR MAP controller, and stock injectors is driveable. Notice I didn't say smooth, it's jumpy and tends to miss a lot, especially at lower RPMs.

8psi really should get a tune. You will make a lot more power, and the car will be a lot more drivable with a good tune.

Oh, and I'm running 8psi on a t3t4 57 trim with no issues and a stock block... building an engine for an SC is pretty much just optional. Like everything, it just needs a good tune...

Look into getting it intercooled though...
