b 18 c lsd tranny with jackson supercharger in a crx

[jidosha]

i've got a crx 89 si, bought new long time ago, top shape, at the junkyard there is an integra gsr 99 with lsd tranny and jackson supercharger rear ended, and damaged on passenger side, broken glass etc ... i could drive it in the junkyard, i can buy the whole car at reasonable price, the engine seems to be running fine, will it fit in my crx, of course i know the b 18 c swap is quite popular in the crx, want to know if supercharger and pulleys etc will clear firewall etc...

already got the complete hasport kit, my car has got a/c working, original powertrain, only modification is wings west urethane body kit and jdm wheels 15 inch with integra brakes...

i would hate to cut in the structure of the car...

Aside from the fact that this is posted in the wrong section; maybe a mod will move it to the supercharged forum... I would say the following:

you shouldn't have any problem getting the b18 to fit in there; since it seems that you want to keep the supercharger on, the only thing I can think of is that the manifold might hit the firewall as the charger was most likely designed with a Integra engine bay in mind.

I have seen Jackson Racing Supercharged B16's that have cleared the firewall just fine, but since the stock GSR manifold is shaped a bit differently it might stick back a bit closer to the firewall.

If I were you, and provided someone on here can tell you how close the front of a b18 is to the radiator core support (i.e. measure from radiator support to the front of the valve cover), I I would grab a measuring tape and measure from the front portion of the valve cover to the rear most portion of the supercharger and then from the approximate centerline of the crank pulley to the supercharger pulley.

Good Luck...
