Supercharged Honda b16a using a Toyota SC14
 

Hi there, just thought I'd share a bit of info about my supercharging experience.

I've designed and fabricated my own brackets to fit the SC14 neatly in place of the aircon unit.

I designed the overall setup, fabbed and welded all the charge piping, and personally street and dyno tuned it on Crome . . . all in the space of a week.

My full build thread can be found at Supercharged b16a using an SC14 - NZHondas.com

The above thread also includes dyno results from a b18c supercharged setup. A b20/vtec supercharged setup is currently in the making.

Some build pics, videos and dyno sheets can be found at Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and click on all albums . .

Absolutely ALL work was done by myself (and a few mates when they are available). Some of the pics are quite old LOL. The CRX ute and the green CRX are old as . . .

Sorry for the links, It would just be a bit too much work starting another build thread

nice

Its nice to see something different.

I was thinking the same thing I enjoyed looking at something unique that incorperated a SC.

SC14 kit
 

I've done 3 of these kits now. B16a, B18c, B20vtec all got the SC14 treatment

The b20vtec SC14 project can be found at Supercharged B20/Vtec using an SC14 - Page 4 - NZHondas.com

i was thinking about doing this on to my h22... since i have the sc14.... this is very informative.

kind of an old post but why would you remote mount a roots type blower? there designed to to go on the engine, replacing the intake manifold. a better option would have been a centrifugal type supercharger. a lot smaller and more efficient. probably could have saved the ac by using it. anyway! good job though.

Benefits to a remote mounted blower.

1. Using factory A/C location allows quick and easy access to the S/C
2. Using factory A/C loom to control the S/C
3. Using factory A/C pulley belt tensioner
4. The SC14 is readily available
5. An intercooler can be installed
6. S/C unit is well cooled from be hind the front bumper

The entire kit can be put on and removed in less than 45mins (each way).
ALL components can be easily accessed.

The intake mounted kits are a pain in the a$$ to install, remove, access and require all sorts of modifications just so it works . . . They heat up terribly due to lack of cooling and are generally just a fancy looking waste of time in my opinion.
Thats without getting into the cost . . My kit cost less than $NZ1100 all up from start to finish.

The kit I developed, made just as much power as a 'jackson racing' kit, so why not remove the extra hassles . .

Here's a few more pics of it completed.

This was the B20/Vtec . . which has since been sold

I read all of your threads on NZH. I joined just to read them lol. Im trying to get this setup to work on a BA4 89 prelude but the space is a joke. I think you should get access to a prelude and engineer me a kit ;)

Then ill send you fat staxxx and we can both be happy!! Im in aussie btw

I'm sure if you had fat staxx you wouldn't be driving an 89 Prelude:p;)

Serious tho, I've tried it on the EF's and there's just not enough room for it. Preludes are even worse . . :mad:

The current kit will fit DC, EG, EK no worries (provided all the aircon junk has been removed of course).

I used to have a couple of 89 Preludes myself. I backed out of the driveway once, and I sh*t you not, no less than a litre of water poured in from the leaky sunroof down my back to my arse-crack . . . it sucked cos it was freezing cold AND I was on the way to work LOL

Anyway, upgrade to a DC, EG, or EK and I'll be able to sort something out for you if your interested.

DiySupercharging.com ... in progress for those that are interested

Boost control
 

Boost control can be setup easily.

The wastegate sits on the charge piping side and uses a 3psi spring. The boost solenoid is wired up the same way as a turbo.

but do you have any idea which westgate to use?

um .... any wastegate you want. It's the function that you need.
