alright so i admit it, i gave up on installing my supercharger and took it to a professional. lame i know. but he's a trusted and proven honda tech, who's installed many JRSCs before.

it's a DOHC ZC with the base 6psi. i wasn't expecting uncontrollable wheelspin...but ****. after having it installed, it has NO power! i honestly couldn't tell a difference. it does run super smooth, and idles at 750 on the dot. i don't even hear any sound really from the blower except for a constant whistle depending on throttle position.

i've noticed it'll bog BAD if i don't bring it up to about 2500 rpm when taking off from a light. but i thought these things were supposed to have instantaneous torque?!

going over things, i cleaned up some vacuum lines, and i noticed it dosen't look like he spliced into the air temp sensor with the resistor harness. how would this affect how the motor performs and runs? jackson's instructions are a little vague when it came to explaining exactly what that inline resistor is doing? how does it manipulate the signal to the ecu? or vice versa?

 

let me help myself out here. apparently it tricks the ecu into running longer duty cycles or whatever on the injectors. it shows the ecu something like 15,000 ohms compared to the normal 5. the ecu thinks the air temp is always REALLY cold.

a primitive way to get more fuel out of your stock injectors.

big to JACKSON RACING customer service and tech support.

 

Exactly. So the T/A sensor "splice" tricks the motor into running richer. So without it, you will be running leaner which should actually net you more hp. That doesn't sound like the problem. Sounds like your timing was retarded way to much.

 

hey man...so you finally got that thing boosting huh? get some pics up mang!

I wish I could add something to help you with your problem, or did you figure it out already?

Who did you take it to BTW?

congrats

 

i done ******* fixed it!
the stock airbox was way too restrictive. der.
it pulls pretty decent and the blower is loud as hell now too.
score.

this thread can die now.
