There is a used supercharged b16a2 for $3500, I am thinking about buying it but am worried about the risk of it not being reliable. Anyone have experience with this?

superchargers are reliable. bad tuning is not.

now, like any other used car, you need to get info on the car. mileage on car? mileage on supercharger? all the basic stuff. The charger has a 100,000mile warranty, so it should last a while. however, dont buy it and think if it breaks down, you can get it replaced. Moss Motors is gay like that.

you also want to look at every other mod on that car. report back with what you got and maybe someone can help ya!

Hey thanks,

If the engine was ran hard (which it prob was) should I worry about internal damage? Which supercharger has a 100,000m warranty?

Tomorrow im going to ask the dude selling it some questions, I was told that if he never had a new fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator than the engine would of been running lean...I dont know much bout superchargers . I have the choice of buying this used supercharged b16 or a jspec b18c1, right now the shop that I am ordering from "can't " find a b18c1 and this engine popped up.

the JRSC kit comes with a JR FPR and that should run his motor pretty safe as long as the timing was retarded a bit.

if you can i would recomend getting the JDM B18c1 (GSR) motor and do all the mods you want instead of someones leftover project.

Thats true, but Im on a tight budget and want the most I can get.

I ordered a jspec b18c1 swap a month and a half ago, the shop i ordered from is saying they cant find one these days, so they are offering me this for a couple hundred more

what kinda car you gonna put these into?

98 ex coupe

alright, the engine has 40k miles, the supercharger has 25k on it. It is a JRSC, the thing im worried bout is that it has a 10lb pulley on it.

whoops nevermind, i got mixed up thinkin it was 10psi.

 

[Trancer04]

what would be needed to make a b16 w/10psi run well, i didnt get the list of all the mods he has yet.
