Hey everyone, I recently bought a Teg, so I figured I'd introduce myself to the Teg crew. My name's Rodney, I'm 19, and am a science student in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

I just bought a 94 LS about 2 weeks ago and I LOVE it, i put 800 km on it the first two days I got it heheh. I've also got a BAD mod bug so hopefully i'll be making some additions to her soon.

I've been doing a little mod-planning and i'm considering going forced induction in the future and was just wondering about the reliability of the JRSC. I plan on using my Teg as a daily driver/autocrosser, so i figure the linear power delivery of the S/C would prolly suit me better. Anyways, I was just hoping for some feedback from you guys (on forced induction/reliability in general) will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Rodney

 

First off, welcome and glad to see another teg owner.

JRSC is a great way to go if you're looking to autocross, plus the added benifit of reliability and virtually maintanance free compared to turbochargers. However with any FI it will wear your engine faster than normal. I would suggest doing a tune up first. How many miles or KM do you have? Also, I would do a compression check just to make sure.

Do a search also, there's alot of threads about JRSC.

 

Thanks, evo119

It's only got 90,000 km (56,000 miles), so I imagine the previous owner (one owner, some old dude) used it for no more than a short commute to work or something. I think there's prolly a good chance that it hasn't been driven TOO hard.

I hope to get the S/C next summer (dont need it for winter anyways). How much more life should I expect (with proper maintenance) out of the engine?

 

Wow, that's low milage for a 94. Good luck with it. Is it auto od 5-speed. Hopefully it is 5-speed so you can get the most potential out of your car.

 

Honda engines will last well over 200,000 with proper care. That's what Honda is known for!

 

BonzoAPD: Its a 5 spd, I wouldn't have it any other way

Evo: Sorry i wasn't clear in my post, I meant how much more life should i expect out of the car with forced induction

Thanks for the input guys

 

Welcome to the club!

 

i don't think it'd effect your engine life too much at all. I think they come with a 100,000mile warranty from JR so I would assume it's pretty safe. I do know it's safer than a turbocharger.
