hi. i have a 92 prelude vtec and am trying to make some enquiries to whether there is a supercharger for the prelude which is available in the uk
jackson racing does one but not found an outlet in the uk, only in the states.

That's because that's where these things are developed.
Looks like it'll need to be an import job then.
All instructions should be provided with it.
Email them and ask if they have UK distributor or reseller.
That and/or see if there's a Prelude forum to see if anyone has done this and the results, and who they used to bolt it on, etc.

the JRSC has fitment issues with the 4th gen ludes, some firewall modifications are needed (big hammer time) and the same on the passenger side strut tower to fit the belt and pulleys.

Its doable but not for the faint hearted.

I did think about going the SC route with mine, had a good offer on one, but have decided to keep NA and go with quad throttles and some serious internals.

Hey Zool, there is a distributer in Aberdeen (checkpoint) but a guy i used to know bolted a supercharger onto his DC2 and it cocked it up. Sounded the nuts though, but everytime he put his foot down all he got was wheel spin.

I guess you need to slap some sort of traction control on there aswell to control it better.

if you had a JDM TCS model you would have the traction control you needed! I just have an LSD which gives plenty of traction. there's not much to offer in the way of FI for the H22 as in off the shelf. Most of the kits for turbo are US sourced, same with the solitary JRSC. I personally think the best thing you could do is go to town on building a solid NA motor, and sort the chassis out. Power is nothing without control they say!
