Default JRSC cooling options

i am a newbie, but i was just wondering what you guys would suggest for cooling on a JRSC. i know that any boost levels over the standard 6psi creates a lot of heat, and i want to boost up some more. LHT makes an intercooler, but it is way to expensive. the JRSC is on my B16A in a '95 civic. any suggestions? thanks.

yeah, i've heard of the water/meth injection. i'm just not real sure how it actually works. what all is involved in installation and upkeep? also, what is a good brand to get?

LHT is really the only option. Meth/Nitrous injection is not a good solution because of how often you go into boost. You would go through it 5x faster than anyone with a turbo setup.

ahh man, 5x faster? that sucks. do you guys think that at 8 psi of boost without any type of cooling system would be too much for the motor? my motor runs fairly cool right now at 6 psi of boost and is set at WOT. i think that it would be ok without it; but what do you guys think? thanks again.

I'm a noob to superchargers and extra cooling in general but I think you might be able to get a different thermostat that will keep the rad. fanrunning longer and also upgrade to an alum. radiator.
