I know you guys like project threads and I hope you guys know that i love learning new things. Especially when its not everyday you see some idiot trying to run this kind of setup on pump. Boost is very new to me. I've always been an all motor kind of guy until i really started looking into the JRSC. Its basically a wacked out NA platform but with a shitton more torque. Well i'm going to test this project out with my 89x95 h23vtec. I've done some modifying to the JRSC already and I have more plans once I can get my hands on a TIG and learn how to do aluminum.
well here are the plans for it and what i currently have
JRSC - sticking to the 5lbs pulley at first
CC head (stock cams and valvetrain)
89x95 h23 block configuration with total static compression of above 13:1 (has a thicker HG)
RMF Narrow header
3" dump exhaust
planning on getting bosch 1000cc injectors and an inline water to air intercooler. My other plans for keep IAT's sane is to attempt the same type of design that LHT uses, but that will only be able to happen once i get a tig. So basically having two intercoolers with water running to both.
As it stands right now, NA, the engine makes 215/178 power without the CC head and runs 13.43@104. I'm hoping I will be able to get this new setup to dip well into the 11's but we will see. I'm just a college graduate working two jobs in order to make a living and trying to save money to open a shop. So this will probably take a little time so SHUT THE FUCK UP.

^^ after 1500 miles with crower cams and eibach valvetrain from a head i got online. fortunately I had a spare head!!
that is the gist of it. I'm currently inspecting and measuring my spare h22a block and crank so i can rebuild it just in case this h23 goes sour with the addition of the JRSC. That block saw 8500 RPM routinely. I mic'd the rod journals and all of them are .0001 to .0002 of each other so that made me feel really good and the mains damn near match the OE bearing specs. I measure the PTW last weekend for cylinder 1 and 2 and both meet the factory clearance.
I'm new to using these kind of tools and getting accurate measurements consistently i guess is just going to take time and practice. My PTW went anywhere from .0004 to .0010" all due to taking an average of 5 piston measurements and having one measurement in those 5 that threw everything off. I'll get better.
more to come in the future.
