First of all, I want to thank Sonny, Tad, and everyone else that helped me getting my JRSC up and running . And all it took me was a month to do the install .


Anyway, I'm kind of bummed because there is absolutely no blower whine. I did buy the charger used, but the blades were perfect and there was no shaft play. Even spinning the pulley by hand before installing it, I could hear it make a slight whistling sound. But now that it's installed, I hear nothing. I wouldn't even know the charger is under my hood except that when I floor it I can hear it growl from about 4k to redline.

Maybe it's because I'm not boosting? (bypass is zip-tied open until I get time to tune). I don't know, but this sucks. Belt isn't slipping or anything.

 

Do you have a short ram or cold air intake installed?

 

i wouldn't lose all hope yet... wait till the bypass is closed. Maybe that will help... and if i dosn't... o'well. its gonna be more fun to drive than stock.

 

from what ive heard they whine more under pressure so if its open then yeah i bet its not screaming at ya

 

on my friends CRX you can't hear teh whine from the inside of the car. but when he passes me on the hiway it sounds like he has a makita under the hood

 

it's because the bypass is open. the whine comes from it building pressure. i'm sure it will be there once you start boosting.

 

keebler65,

LOL..we both got the 10,000 MN quote....

 

Does it sound like every other roots blower.??

Anyone have a video of how it sounds..? I've never heard the JR supercharger..

 

Good, so there's some hope yet. I'm running a short ram intake (actually it's extra short because I sawed it in half to fit ).

And also I'm in perma-limp mode because I smashed off my knock sensor during the install. When my conversion harness comes in the mail I will hook up my P28, get out of limp mode, and break out the uber.


Oh, and keebler65 is the ****. .

That site is basically what persuaded me to sell my hondata crap and go with uber.

i've seen "land of 10,000 hicks, MN" as someone's as well. question is, who had it first? are we surrounded by hmong-hick-liberals?


JRciv - you will not be disappointed w/ uberdata

 

ur not boosting so it wont whine

when i hit 1 psi i even whine, so just wait. and gl with the uberdata and tuning!

Wait, this isn't a joke?

 

I dunno but i raced a gsr with a jr at 8psi and his **** sounded sweet right at my window...
Then i couldnt hear it anymore as i pulled away.

Thats cute...

Anyway, as stated before once the ziptie is removed and you actually begin to build boost she will whine very loudly.

 

you'll enjoy the looks you get from people on the sidewalk when they turn around when you're still 100's of feet away from them

This is what the JRSC sounds like. ;-)

 

my jrsc when i had it had a very slight faint whine when WOT revving. When i dogged it at the track and anywhere else....everyone said they could hear it. one guy drove my car and got on it hard...i heard it whining like hell from 1.8 mile away...out if the intake and the exhaust with a shortram.

Thanks for the video..

I was watching your gas gauge the whole time..

 

sounds just like my car.... gotta love the sound... good luck with solving your problems man.. I went through a lot of crap this summer to get my car up and running safely...

 

I have no whine all i hear is a loud b pipe with no exhaust...........

 

Looks like it will be a while yet until I'm running. My harness came in the mail today and when I hooked it up my P28 took a **** on my face. The d-bag on ebay sold me an auto ecu and said it was a manual.


Oh, and with the bypass open I still sound like the audio clip posted above. I just thought it was supposed to whine at idle. My roommate has some sort of centrifugal charger on his Z06 and even at idle the whine is so loud it wakes my up in the morning.

So convert it. The auto ECUs are better anyway, they have extra control circuitry I'm using an auto ECU that I converted to manual, takes like 10 mins, you only have to solder two points.
P28 auto-manual conversion

Or if you want the short version:
remove RP17 and RP18
replace RP18 with a jumper wire Ya, it's that tough. A monkey could do it

 

i will never understand why supercharger owners never get tuned....

 

when you get that boosting, have a friend drive it and sit in a parking lot, have him get on it a little when he coming your way, you hear it whine..

the JR blower is not going to whine at idle, unless of course something is severely wrong with it. centrifugal and roots types blowers have many differences.
