The Right way to - INSTALL JRSC SUPERCHARGER KIT -Part 7

[@victorwilburn3498]

John: As..always, attention to detail and deep knowledge of Honda. I am sure when it's done the Bert Hatch will be a worthy addition to the LHT story👍

[@TonyAutoWerks]

Additional note on the PTFE Tape, they make a fuel specific version for fittings that have gas running through them

[@AZMarine78]

Podcast would be cool 😎

[@Rob.Coleman]

PTFE=Plumbers Tape For Everything 👍

[@LHTPerformance]

Lol.

[@bvward]

John, I like the way you linished that spacer ;) I was thinking steel tubing, you raised the bar with Ti !

[@rockytharpjr]

The thing is you actually do things right, and I hope people appreciate it. Keep it up sir.

[@clkupai]

Really enjoying this build! It has inspired me to get on with my own EG6 SiR build and get it done finally!!!

[@rockybrandboa1076]

Really enjoying this series. I picked up a second hand lht kit for my b16 and now I’m dying to get it installed.

[@redcivic1000]

John, never minded the 30 min videos. Always love to see the build take shape. Keep up the great work. I hope you know the videos are you enjoying life. That’s what I feel and that’s why I keep coming back every new video drop.

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks for watching. I understand people’s time is valuable and don’t want the videos to go on too long.

[@jmorin2270]

That LHT intake manifold is sick great design. Is there any way you can make a liquid cooled intake manifold for a 8th gen Civic. Like a water to air set up but built inside the intake I know the throttle bodies liquid cooled but I think it'd be sick to have water to air built into the intake manifold. (N/a motor going turbo)

[@Mattyyoung85]

John and George u guys are great man.. I own a shop in Jacksonville NC we mainly do Honda/Acura but we have branched into doing corvettes and other v8s as well..You guys are such a inspiration.. I've said it on previous videos a year or 2 ago but it gives me hope through the tougher times of being a business owner .. I appreciate the builds u do it has made me do a better job and take more pride in my work . So just wanted to say thank you

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks for the kind words. The best advice I can give is to work in the stuff you enjoy and feel like you can put pride into. Stay small enough to care and easily cover the over head so you don’t have over sell. Being honest and talking customers out of wasting more will come back ten fold. Your in NC, you come out to the Dragon meet Oct 17th.

[@caseyrenner2061]

A podcast would be great. Thank you for all you do!

[@andrewchristmas2026]

You make me want a b series again

[@LHTPerformance]

I love B series

[@MikeG-ic9nw]

John, I am one of those guys who has finally gotten back to my long-term project, a '92 Civic EG which I am currently k-swapping in Scotland. I have watched your videos for a few years now and taken inspiration from all of your builds. Top work as always. 👍

[@LHTPerformance]

Awesome! Glad you’ve got back to and building. Scotland is one of my favorite places.

[@vilkylero8]

Been watching almost all of their uploads. Their Content is very helpful specially with the supercharger contents since it’s already discontinued. I hope I can meet you guys one day. I live in the 🇵🇭 (Philippines) and these blowers are very expensive here. I have a stock one on an ek3 with a jdm itr swap. Looking foward to buy the s-tube and the throttle body soon. Very thankful for these guys 🙏🏼👌🏼.

[@jefffernandez6679]

Excited for the build and trip to The Dragon!

[@davidvaughn7251]

Love the Bert hatch series longtime fan of LHT !

[@tcriderph3294]

Love the build sir the attention to details you put is great. 30 min vid is kinda short actually.

[@mr2chet527]

Love the denso compressor!

[@ronpierce9034]

Cleaned my engine bay, changed the oil (used Honda oil filter), and wash will come Saturday before heading to Tail. Excited. I'm driving from Nashville and staying at Fontana Village Resort just south of the dam. They have a disc golf course and I'll be bringing my discs if anyone like to meetup and play Saturday afternoon and/or Sunday morning.

[@LHTPerformance]

Good stuff ! Make the most of it buddy.

[@1991jdmcivic]

I had the same problem with the paint stripper I used recently too I believe it was qwik strip brand but I've had good luck with jasco in the past

[@jahbrake9791]

An LHT built car is what dreams are made of. You guys legends! ❤️

[@apricott1]

Great video. See you Sunday at the Dragon. 2 hours from home in my 2000 GPW NSX.

[@LHTPerformance]

Only 2 hours, that’s great. Look forward to seeing you. 👍🏻

[@b20eg195]

Love all your videos. I have been searching for a spare manifold for a long time with no luck. I wished you guys make them or sell them...

[@TheMoghrabimahmoud]

U r a MASTER!!

[@nymalo]

Thank you so much for the video. I removed the Supercharger from my CRX due to very high inlet temperatures. Looking forward to the store back open so I can cool it down a bit. Thanks again!

[@LHTPerformance]

Yep. Being building intercoolers for over 20 years for these blowers.

[@markrodz2633]

Teflon tape works but also thread sealer is amazing and easier to use if you guys dont want to use tape....great video!!

[@LHTPerformance]

I should make a video about when not to use sealing tape …like AN Fittings. Drives me Nuts seeing that.

[@markrodz2633]

​@@LHTPerformance yeah a lot of people will use sealing tape on every thread they se....I've seen people use it on the oil pan drain bolt. when a crush washer is enough lol

[@LHTPerformance]

Oh no. That’s the worst

[@markrodz2633]

@@LHTPerformance yes it is lol i see it alot when helping my friends with their cars haha I have a huge question. Ive always been a big fan of your work and I wished I was in Florida to get some custom work done by you on my car, sadly I'm in California. If I ever wanted some custom work done for my car, would you be able to work with me on getting some work and shipping it? I would pay anything to get your work onto my car. Just love what you do, and you are a great person.

[@LHTPerformance]

Let us know what you’re looking to do. I don’t do custom fab work without the car or a good fixture. I hate to build part when I have a doubt they may not fit.

[@sw20indy]

Looks fantastic. Really enjoy your content, and it’s clear you love what you do. 👌

[@bradleymorrison5905]

John, these videos keep me motivated to get my S2000 finished, all we have left to fix is an issue where at high rpm there feels almost like a fuel cut at 7k and a flashing check engine light comes on that immediately goes away, only code shows as a misfire. And after 3 days sitting in the garage the battery was drained. I am pretty sure it is an electrical issue at this point but thought I would ask if it is something anyone watched has heard of, I have brand new OEM injectors, wiring harness looks pretty schetchy from 7 previous owners. But hey 8 thousand dollar s2000 3 years ago sounded nice :D

[@lcq4blackstar]

Saw a video with similar issue, think it was a PFI video, coil pack, vtec solenoid, or map sensor issue on that vehicle, can't remember. Correct, flashing check engine light is indicating a misfire. If stock ECU (no Hondata etc...) get an OBDII bluetooth dongle and "Torque PRO" APP for Android and datalog a pull. There are add-on APP's "Realtime charts" and "Graphing" that will allow you to see what is going on with the data right from your device. Actually I remember I had a similar sounding issue where the engine would break up (sounded like fuel cut) as soon as it went into boost but only when driving above sea-level elevation (road trips), never got a code or flashing check engine but just swapped all coil packs for new and fixed my issue. Other than that, and with the wiring being sketchy as you say make sure your grounds are in the proper OEM locations and that they are clean of corrosion strip the paint behind ground points on body. It never hurts to add extra grounds, I run three 2 gauge wire grounds from engine/trans to the body and you can feel/see the benefit at idle or watching the headlight brightness fluctuation. Good luck and post up if the issue gets resolved!

[@hyper8545]

FYEAH and friends will be at tail of the dragon as well. :0

[@LHTPerformance]

I just heard Tommy is going to be there. Always good hanging with car folk. 👍🏻

Thinking about you guys over here in the U.K, keep moving forward 👍👍 really enjoying this build can’t wait until completion 👍👍😃

[@robertjordan9075]

Watching you is like going to Mech school for pros . Thanks my friend.🥸😎😎

[@sjapan8149]

I hope you were able to save your glasses. I also love the Jackson Nemesis safety glasses and even though I have a draw full of them I get upset when I lose or damage a pair like they were 100 dollars. Great video; thanks for the entertainment.

[@LHTPerformance]

Those glasses I get free from the welding supply when I get a new gas fill. They sell for about $3.49 and has some scratches on the lenses .

[@thedetailer9078]

This series keeps getting better ! 👏

[@nickatdallas]

What a nice job you’re doing on this car, very impressive

[@africankat1]

maybe im wrong, but John seems to be more humorous and dialed down the seriousness recently...i like :)

[@s2k_kavelyan]

I love watching your bulit. Always waiting for videos. Keep it up bro

[@afireinside909]

A podcast would be awesome

[@jimmyyking]

The grind is real, John. Glad your pc is up and running. A podcast would be awesome. Definitely would like to hear you guys discuss how your passion has led to LHT Performance and why you chose imports vs domestics? Or maybe discuss what your absolute dream build has been/would be as well as what is the hardest learning experience you’ve faced or had throughout your years of working on these awesome machines. I have been looking forward to each Friday to see your updates and I am never disappointed. Not sure if my 2 cents matter but definitely take a day of rest. You may even want to go as far as to reconsider what a possible plan B would be in case everything doesn’t come through by the Dragon meet. I say that with your previous 2001 GSR restore/rebuild in mind, seeing how freakin amazing that thing was as you were able take your time on that. Would definitely love to see something similar with this build. Either way, I’m very excited and happy to see the progress. Wishing and hoping for nothing but the best with this project.

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks for the comment buddy. A podcast will be after the Dragon trip. Plan B will be take the S2000, it does need an exhaust as it’s kinda boring. Plan C would be the GT4 . I like to Porsche but it’s primarily a Honda meet and Hondas are my first love.

[@THEPAULFOOT]

Would say you guys would have great stories to tell everyone a great first topic would be funny first car story's great videos guys 😁

[@WezleyB]

PTFE is the chemical acronym for the Teflon plastic... Polytetrafluoroethylene. Teflon is actually a brand name..

[@LHTPerformance]

Nice. Thanks for the explanation. I can’t believe I remembered what I used to call it.

[@itsjussjerry]

Yes on the pod cast!

[@LHTPerformance]

Hahaha I like the Casey Neistat impersonation with the whole glasses thing and adjusting the camera while you talk to it

[@LHTPerformance]

Lol. I was about the throw the glasses away they were scratched up ( cheap safety glasses )when I remembered Casey painting the frames on his. The music I selected sounded Casey like too.

[@mikehallgti]

You guys have great content and keep it up. With the new pulleys you guys have made, are you going to make a corresponding crank pulley with the grip tech and maybe even better syncing with the other pulleys as far as size and better design? Thanks for what you do

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks. The crank pulley has never been the issue. The larger diameter pulleys have more contact surface and very little chance of slip. The smaller pulleys are the issue. We’ll talk about boost level on different motors with the different crank pulleys later on.

[@brianchin9790]

Dropping gems for the jrsc install. So good to see it first hand instead of reading all the old forums. Any idea when the pulley kit will be available in the store? And expected price range? Definitely do the podcast 👍

[@LHTPerformance]

Once we have the belt and can be sure everything is good we’ll get a price from the pair with the correct belt. I’m kinda afraid as GripTec hasn’t sent me a bill for what we’ve don’t yet. We have about 6 over night shipping fees alone. Lol.

[@brianchin9790]

Fingers crossed on the bill 😆. I’ll be back soon and it’s going to take everything in me not to open and install the S tube or throttle body. Enjoy the trip and safe travels.

[@LHTPerformance]

There nice pieces , we’ll bring you SC to the next level

[@3vrts917]

Has any body done this ??

[@davidrobinson6495]

FYI - “Teflon” is a trademarked brand name… PTFE is the generic term for the material. So you won’t see “Teflon” in official parts descriptions.

[@LHTPerformance]

That makes sense. Like everyone in England calls Vacuums Hovers. Lol.

[@OutOfOrderMai]

Can’t wait to see the Bert build complete. Do you still offer the manifold cooler mod? I have a JRSC for my GSR and I’m considering to have it done

[@LHTPerformance]

Yes. We do them all the time.

[@OutOfOrderMai]

@@LHTPerformance thanks for confirming

[@thewizardamine]

thank you so much

[@nicroberts8587]

Hey if it's not too much can you guys start making supercharger manifolds for D & B series maybe also f&h series perhaps use the TV s900 supercharger or something I don't know just a thought I have cash

[@LHTPerformance]

To develop a counter rotating blower for D and B series would be a major ordeal. Hence why it’s not available.

[@itsjussjerry]

3:15 I was just about to say that!

[@3vrts917]

Hell yeh they helping ❤

I have a buddy selling me a gsr Jackson racing supercharger but I have a b16 head on a b20 bottom. What do I need to buy to make this work?

[@LHTPerformance]

@@ekcoupe5059 The correct way would be to use a B16 manifold for your kit or use a GSR head in your B20Vtec

[@nicholasakimenko6823]

Just curious if you guys have any turbo's that are ac/ps freindly laying around you would sell? I bought the inline pro manifold. I tried to Mimic the bl5858 you guys put on the red integra, but the 5 bolt is no longer available and boost lab cannot source them. Im not sure what would be a good alternative.

[@LHTPerformance]

Only the 5 bolt will work to keep the AC friendly room. I think have a complete Garret GT3076R with a 5 bolt housing. I’ll check. Message me on IG

[@chrisgagnon4608]

PTFE is the chemical name for Teflon™

[@LHTPerformance]

Interesting

[@RickyWithTheCars]

I have a question. Did you have any fitment issues with the alternator pulley from JR hitting the frame rail? I am in the process of installing mine and it was rubbing on the frame rail. I can move it slightly away, but the problem is the clearance is too narrow between the pulley and frame rail so it could potentially hit it again if there is a lot of load moving towards the driver side

[@LHTPerformance]

What chassis are you installing into ?

[@RickyWithTheCars]

@@LHTPerformance I am currently installing it in my eg hatch at the moment. The connector for the alternator also sits right behind the support bracket for the supercharger

@@LHTPerformance b18c1

[@LHTPerformance]

@@RickyWithTheCars You may have to clearance the inner frame rail a little. Especially under load.

[@yahtadi5152]

I have question John. Was hoping you could help me answer it I always had this in mind: Build EK Hatch, K swap it, power steering delete, water pump delete and ac compressor delete. But I still want all of that, so put eps(motor assist) of 9th gen civic along with the computer, electric water pump(probably from KTune), and electric(full electric, not with aftermarket pump and tubes to the rack kind of thing) ac compressor as well Is that possible? So get all those things without stealing any from precious K
