Back in the day (before it got stolen), I used to have a 99 Si with a JRSC on it with all the whistles. I loved that car because it was just fun to drive. I now have a 99 DX w/ D16Y7 and i have nothing done to it yet. I would like to figure out which way to go before I buy parts and I was wondering which way would be better to go. I finally have the $ saved and I can go either way. Obviously the turbo would yield greater gains, but this is a daily driven car and it need to be reliable. So which would be the best way to go.

personally i say go with a jg turbo kit.if i had a obd2 car and the money i would buy that kit.if not the greddy kit will be fine on 7lbs

judging from your post....
did you have to ask? Turbo is the way to go...

I don't understand why you have to ask.... unless you had no problems with your JRSC?.... I'm currently having some problems with the CEL 45 coming on every so often...

did u run it with ur stock ECU?

Turbo :twisted:

your chioce, but i have had both of them on my car and i pesonaly like the jrsc set up better IF YOU HAVE THE 10 LB PULLEY.
the greedy kit is sweet and all but its too easy to want more boost and that where it gets expensive.
first its pistons,rods, then its better e-manage system for fuel mapping more boost, then its lots of dyno runs to tune the set up.
the jrsc is a very reliable and basic set up (255 fuel pump, pulley from www.theoldone.com. constent power from idle on) and then if you want a small shot of nitrous (wet) easy upgrade and it helps cool the charger as well since there is no cooling device for jrsc.

I would go for the 19T kit. If you look at the pricing of it, you can get a complete setup with FMIC, BOV, flange, and the kit for just over $3k. How much does a JRSC go for NEW?? I'm sure it's at least that much.

At the same boost levels (both tuned or not), the turbo will make more power than the JRSC because it's more efficient. Some might argue about "off the line" power, but who wants to spin their wheels ever time they launch? That shit gets old after a while, it happens when I race with my 15G.

Turbo, 'nuff said.

i agree. i have the obd2, and soon the money, and that's exactly what i plan to do. reliability=peace of mind.

I really like the Edelbrock kit myself, it's very complete and looks great. The only thing I DONT like is the weak fuel management.

Do you own homework, I don't have time to type it all.

I've had both the JRSC and the greddy turbo kit(15g kit) and I would go with the turbo kit any day over the JRSC.

 

[98DoHcKiller]

i would go turbo

 

[Guest]

the edelbroc kit is cool but money to boost ratio is high. it is verry complete but there is things you dont need , like the intake manifold withe secondary injectors. this is something you would need if doing serious boost. and the fuel man. only will support up to 9 lbs before fuel cut (fuel map)

For ease and reliability, I say go with the JRSC. I was going to do that, but I know I will crave more power and you can always upgrade more and more with a turbo setup. Both the JRSC and a turbo setup can be had used for cheap. I'm getting a used APEX'I kit complete w/ fmic, dsm 450s, safc, bov, etc. for a deal and that should be nice and streetable when tuned.

i really didnt ask u though,what is ur car to you.is it ur daily driver or ur weekend racer. honestly if i had to start all over again for a daily driver i would go with the jrsc. but for a week end racer go with the greddy kit or a fmax kit. by the time u buy a fmic and all for the greddy u can buy a real good kit like drag(2800) or fmax(3300) but all in all its up to you. dont mod ur car the way other people want u to. cus if my friends had it my way,i would be driving a b18c powered hatch.

I hope you have that fuel managment, because if you don't then I wouldn't be posting opinions like that here!!!

the turbo seems to be much better in the long run for several reasons, but one being upgradability. you can grow into that greddy kit, and for less $ you can gain a tone more performance. as the JRSC your going to be limited at some point and it won't last very long on boost levels past 11-12 lbs. You'll have ot get it reworked to be able to handle that kind of power for long peroids of time or as a daily driver. Also the Greddy kit with the fmic can be had for abotu $2300 as the JRSC is about 2900-3200 and only 7 lbs. for $3g with a greddy kit you can go to 10 lbs and product 210-220 wheel power when tuned properly.

The little white box that comes with the kit is fully programmable in timing and fuel. So, like I asked before what is wrong with the fuel management? Please tell me your findings you can even PM me.

The down sides of the Edelbrock kit is the turbo max effective boost range is 15-16lbs of boost, now don't get me wrong the turbo will produce more boost then that just not effectively. You can check all that info out at garrett’s web-site. The other down side of the kit is the BOV, high maintenance and temperamental.

I appoligize ahead of time if I sound snotty... It's just that I have the kit and get offended when people post about stuff with no experance, or reaserch with the item.

 

[Guest]

that's why i liek greddy kits

 

[Guest]

Dont get me wrong here I like the Edlebrock kit a lot, had I not purchased an fmax kit 2 yrs ago I would pick it up today.....however:

Doesnt that kit come with a closed loop wastegate??? Can you upgrade to an open gate for a decent cost???

Either way TURBO IT
