If you're just gonna whine, don't. Honest opinions now...

I want stock everything and bolt on...
what you think?

b18bturbo

its bolts on make some what decent power its works prone to detonation but other than that its okay.

WykidEH

It all comes down to what you want, not someone else. There's a guy here that has JRSC on his '00 Civic SI and couple of bolt-on's. It's ok if you like the low-end torque. We think his car runs in the mid-12's. Will run it this week at the track. I'll give you the update.

osbornsm

What i want: A car that can be reliable with more power.
Don't want something that has to be replaced every couple months (like the drag III's part)
This is my daily driver and i'm not looking to upgrade after this, so i not worried about something expandable, like some turbos.
Not for the 1/4 mile either. Just to get around... only faster.
I don't know what the best for me is so i'm just looking for pointers.
thanx

I think that a JRSC @ 6psi with BTC and fuel pump upgrade will suit you just fine

4dGSR at work

being that there is no lag its fun....feels like a good v6 in our cars.
the wind of that supercharger is like a tazmanian devil

no lag...between gears it is a lil tougher on the clutch.
feeling power kick in is a great feeling though(turbo)

2cents per side

If all yuo want is a little mre power it is a decent kit. But for me it wasnt enough. I am now going with a Drag3, and IMO I will like it FAAAAR better than the JRSC.

Hahaha, kidding right? More like mid 14's.

its forced induction integras, but, its primarily JRSC guys

i love mine

VR_GS-R

yea i know people really make fun of it but all i really want to know is it capable of getting into the mid 12's with a GS-R. I want to modd the engine up internally as well as the common bolt on's that i already have. Will the Jackason Racing Supercharger do the job right and consistantly getting 12's on the street as well as the actual timed drag strip...

To be in the 12s with the JRSC @ 7 psi is no problem. Just put the stock, or light rims on and remove some weight and you are in the 12s on street tires. Of course you need a very good start. Starting with the SC is way more difficult than with a turbo, b/c you have way more tourqe in the lower rpm and no turbo lag.

Zeus

It seems Hondata(properly tuned of course) along with 440cc injectors and 8psi pulley is the best way to go... Don't waste your time and money on the JR bandaids... you'll spend damn near the same in the end anyway and be less happy... 240+whp, gobs of torque off idle(for a Honda), and runs and is as reliable as OE... reported that is, go to the board metioned above... your in the wrong forum for SC advise...

osbornsm

What are these "bandaids" that you're talking about. Is that like the v-aftc or whatever you call them?

boomslang

What are you smoking?

I have seen many JRSC Civic Si's run, none even broke into the 13's.

Suprdave

Yea, hes crazy if he thinks a 6psi JRSC is running 12s.

I know a guy in my town...11pSI JRSC, Built Motor, some fuel work, nittos and a buncha other bullshit...ina 99 SI.
13.9 @ 101

And rumor has it, when he sprayed a 75 Shot on top of that, he ran a 13.2...but I think that was just to save face, cus hes spent like 25k and is barely breaking 13s.

My Hatch with with just a B18B in it, gutted ran a 14.5 @ 93....like 7k total invested.

Its its begging for Turbo.

Jackson SC's are ***. If I was rich I'd buy one and put it right in the trash can just to prove a point. They make now power. I see all these people with Type Rs and jackson SC's that are struggling to make over 200 hp. They bolt the kit on and it makes 15 hp over a stock type r. That is some *** power for a $2000 investment if you ask me. Turbo cars can be perfectly reliable if it is installed correctly with good parts. SC's and four bangers just dont mix.

austrian type-R

DAMN!!! Sorry, I thought he has a GSR

supadupamikey

muwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

ignorance is bliss

osbornsm

Hey TurboInteg95, what is the problem with them, dont' just say they're bad. I have a 99' Si, to correct the confusion. So is the Si kit still good then?
What goodies do i need with it anyway with 6 psi. Thanx.

Later 8

b18bturbo

i wouldnt buy a sc kit if someone made me. They just dont produce what they state. You do get instant response but with 6psi and 180hp maybe is just not worth it. for 2500

TurboInteg95

The problem with them is that they dont make any power without all these other mods. Jackson can clain whatever they want but it's not true. When you bolt on the kit you have all sorts of detonation problems and hardly any horsepower.

LilMikey, do you have any dyno sheets from your car? Any timeslips? BTW, I took a look at your website, very informative. I see you're very proud of your Greddy muffler and the fact that you own a GS-R. Yeah go ahead and call me ignorant if you want but I know what I'm talking about. I've beaten 2 hackson equipped GS-R's with my little weak LS motor. And there are probably 20 people on this board who have switched over from the supercharger to a turbo. Does that tell you anything? They were sick of dealing with the lack of power. Not only thing but have you ever read the Hostboard Forced Induction mesage board. There are people struggling to get over 200 hp with there Jacksons, that's unacceptable for a $2000 investment.

osbornsm, I wouldnt expect much over 190 hp to the wheels when you bolt on your Jackson kit.

b18bturbo

i wouldnt get one for the same reasons stated above. Its just *** when you ask me..If you nos the hell out of it on built GSR running a CRV pulley and 15psi then yeah it can be fast but who has the money to do that. You can do the same damn thing with jsut a simple turbo kit. 3199 actually from ben with some good *** stuff.

2500 180hp + all the bandaids and all the hackass jackson stuff not worht it.
3200 230hp

go figure.

TurboInteg95

OsbornSM, this is in no way a flame at you, I'm serious about the Jackson. When I see something that doesnt work I'm gonna tell people. Like cartech regulators, basically a good paper weight but has no place on any car. You say in your original post "I want stock everything and bolt on...what you think?" And I say I think it blows. Bolting on the Jackson kit you will wish you had gotten a turbo kit instead.

supadupamikey

eeeeasy there killer.

ok... one my webpage.. hehehe, i haven't touched that thing forever. i dont even have that exhaust, i used it for about a month but it was too annoying and ricey. if i knew my password, i'd update it.

anyways, i have read about the type R owners struggling getting 200hp from their jrsc'd R's. however, that doesn't mean that JRSC's are junk. i have a 94 gsr with a jrsc @ 6psi and i have been extremely happy with my setup.

a few months before the jrsc went in, i managed to pull a 15.080 @93.95mph my 1st day ever drag racing. i plan to return to the track and see what she does now, but, i just haven't had a chance. with any luck, i'll make it there this friday. i imagine i'll run high 13s on my street tires, and i estimate to have around 205-210 whp.
