What else comes with the blower?

 

[AcidLotus]

crank pulley, all the hoses and screws, etc. it needs, instruction manual that is fairly comprehensive, and I think that's it. You'll want to get a new intake manifold gasket, and new throttle body gasket at your local honda dealership so that they can replace those when they do the install (recommended). That should only be $20-$30 if I remember correctly.

It comes with a new alternator pulley.
you only replace the crank pulley if you get the JR boost upgrade kit.

 

[AcidLotus]

okay, that makes since, what b18c ya said. Good point!

When replacing the intake manifold gasket, go with the one from Hondata. It has been tested to reduce heat soak resulting in lower intake temps and a measurable increase in power.

Great way to spend $60.00

If you want to go that route, then yes you can. It should help, although I'm not sure how much... From what I've heard it works pretty good.

 

[csufweed]

yup...

hondata claims a 5% increase in power as well as it being a better alternative than the JR water injection.

 

[AcidLotus]

Anything is better than the JR water injection. FWIW, I get a 5% increase in power just by having a CAI.

How about running the Hondata intake manifold gasket w/ the JR water cooling? Anything else I can use to cool down the temps (exept Nitrous)?

 

[csufweed]

yeah go hog wild! use everything you can!

 

[hcarcrx]

you can run a small ( and i mean real small 25 shot ) shot of nos to reduce it intake temp to help out and not have a bad effect on the motor or the blower. ive seen it done and it does work out pretty damn good!!

Ahahahah, just thought of this one. Wire your windshield wiper squirters behind a minifan mounted ontop the blower, and squirt away before/after a race to keep those "high engine bay temps" down

I think you'd have better luck getting a vented hood.
