Default JRSC kits: what happened to them??

After building a supercharged b20v crv for a customer, I began looking into the JRSC kits for the h and b series motors and have found nothing but old build threads and even older "for sale" threads. Why did JR discontinue these kits? I understand Honda no longer makes either motor, but that doesn't stop other manufacturers from making parts for either platform. So I guess the questions I'm asking are: why did they stop making them? And where can I find one?




I'm not sure if this merits an entirely new thread as there is already won dedicated to JRSC setups. If not, moderators please feel free to pm me and I'll remove the thread.

They still don't make them. Its an old weblink with inline four. They are concentrating on the Rotrex System.

They only have Eaton style superchargers for the R18 (Fit), BRZ, and CR-Z

Two things ultimately led to the end of the Eaton based Jackson Racing supercharger kits. First, the evolution of the Eaton positive displacement superchargers forced dramatic design changes in the JRSC kits... which require massive R&D capitol as well as inventory demands essentially doubling or even tripling stock levels and skew numbers. Eaton has long ago discontinued the GEN III M45 and M62 superchargers... so it is pretty hard to sell a kit without the primary component.

Second, the manufacturing and marketing rights have changed over the years, and the sources who previously sold the kits are no longer doing so. The question is will the current providers make the financial commitment to revive them ??? My suspicion is it is unlikely.
