supercharged H22

[GhostAccord]

To be honest with you, a lot of times an intercooler is not required with a side mount setup such as this. The only heat will be created by the bearing/turbine turning. There is no exhaust gasses heating the housing nor is it sitting on top of a hot engine. A small front mount intercooler will be more than enough for this setup.

Sounds like you have a good solid plan. Look forward to seeing the finished product.

Thats exactly how I was thinking. not as much heat exchange as with a turbo. My intercooler is approx 8x12in. quite beefy built (almost 4in thick) but small. It should be sufficient for my setup, and be able to be hidden. All you will hear is that infamous 'whine'

[deevergote]

Eh, compressing air does create heat. It won't be soaking up heat from the exhaust as with a turbo, but you'll still benefit from an intercooler. I'd run one, even if it's overkill... better safe than sorry.

Do the turbine/impeller centrifugal SC whine like the roots style twin screws?

[deevergote]

They do. An old friend of mine put a Procharger on his Mustang. Whined nicely!

[cincy90h22]

yes, although they are quieter.. the v3 uses a sealed internal oil, and are louder than the v2 that I have. But it should still produce that unmistakable sound..

[hondamanf22]

this needs to become a sticky asap when its done. what kind of numbers you hope to see?

[cincy90h22]

based on the s2000kit in stock form, it adds 49% horsepower over stock.. 240hp to 365hp I believe @8psi. I hope to get over the 300hp mark. As long as my math is correct ill be at ~9psi @7500rpm. The real question is will 9psi give me 105hp?

[HenRoc]

Certainly not the first.

[hondamanf22]

Certainly not the first.

on the snail style I would say yes, unless someone is has done it.

Flame suit? Why?

The only time people get flamed is when they make the 10,000th "duz ne1 make a supercharger kit 4 r cb7z?" thread
You're actually doing it, which is commendable! I don't know of anyone that has done a centrifugal setup yet in a CB. There's the one famous JRSC on the H23VTEC, and a CD with a custom roots supercharged F22B2. Then there's wikkedv16's attempt at a front-mounted roots blower on his sister's Prelude, which worked until it blew the charge pipes off... That was how my plan was going to go.

Keep up with it. Keep us updated. Good luck!




As for the intercooler, what you have there is essentially a turbo compressor powered by the crank rather than the exhaust gas... so an air to air intercooler will be just as useful for that as it would be for a turbo.

I searched wikkedv16's name and came up empty on the FM root setup. It seems interesting, but i would like to know more. It could very well be an alternative for my project.

Definitely some CB7 History in the making. I see you mentioned 105hp is your expected gain; is your H22 stock? I did some research to see what used Vortechs cost and it seems if you look around long enough, there are tons of deals to be had on those units, and the rebuild parts are fairly "inexpensive". I would strongly suggest that whoever did the fabrication look into making the brackets into a kit that other members could purchase if this project was a success. I'd be interested myself if I could keep A/C. Speaking of, is there any reason why the blower couldn't fit in the P/S pump location? Or is that actually possible?

I thought about that yesterday, it would be quite easy for me to put together a kit of brackets n such, let the buyer pick their own supercharger unit. Anyway, just a thought. The SC does not fit in the power steering location because the air intake sits too close to the exhaust header, unless you want to cut a big Hole in your Hood lol. So unfortunately AC and power steering cannot be kept with my setup. Which doesn't matter to me. Vortech Made a kit for the 97-99 civic B16, using a jackshaft to locate the charger next to the distributer, retaining AC/PS, but has been discontinued.

Yeah, he didn't post about it. We talked one on one about it. He's the one that talked me into buying my own supercharger. That kid can talk me into doing just about anything!

The brackets would be a decent idea, i was going to ask but you said you wanted to be unique so i didn't. If one could piece together a full kit for under a grand or so that would be a great investment for decent power.
