This thread is for all those who have had experience with the Jackson Racing SuperCharger. Please list your opinions. Both Positive and Negative. Likes and Dislikes. Is it worht getting one? If so Which one the Basic or Race? Will both work on a stock 00 GSR motor? What are you recomendations Please all your replies are appreciated. Thank you.

While I have no personal experience with the supercharger, you can't use the race version on the 00 GSR without an ECU swap, and loosing all chance to pass a smog test, as you can't use the OBD2 ECU with Hondata.

That said, I've thought on many occasions about getting one, but have never done so knowing that more power is available for a cheaper price with a turbo. But then again, that would certainly be pushing outside of smog legality as well.

 

just because a turbo setup might peak a higher HP doesnt mean its going to be going down the 1/4 mile faster...peak number admirers will never go as fast as effecient as someone who realizes there is more going on

way too many ppl ignore the fact that midrange and the shape of a torque curve affect 1/4 mile times DRASTICALLY

 

I drove an LS once with a JRSC. It was slower than dog ****.

 

i have a jrsc at 4.5 psi on mt ITR and an 8 psi kit on my GSR sedan. they are both a BLAST to drive. what you get is INSTANT responsiveness. i put a hondata on both, and i don't think that anyone remotely serious about any kind of power or driveability on any kind of a car should do so WITHOUT going for an ecu upgrade as well. tuning for anything including a JRSC is a must. when done right, they're amazing. when used in totally stock form, driveability leaves something to be desired. go whole hog, even at lower psi, and you will be very very happy.

 

is your GSR motor stock? Cause I was thinking about the race kit one. Could a stock GSR motor handle the race kit with higher PSI? with the hondata ecu.

thats strange because ive seen jrsc'ed ls's put down your numbers with way more midrange and low end

How do you think my LS feels without any boost =P

Uh huh. Show me.

How would you know what my midrange and low end looks like? Like you said earlier, peak numbers don't mean ****.

so youre saying you have a low end comparable to a supercharged car??? hmm thats a pretty bold statement...and im on that proof of the ls with jrsc right now..will post ina min

No, low end is worthless. How does the low end look on a 9 second car? My midrange is definitely comparable. I am making well over 220 whp at 4000 rpm.

 

unfortunately i cannot find the thread anymore on ti...but think what you will

You started the argument in the first place. I don't really care. I am just saying I drove one that wasn't fast and then you came in and tried to undermine my setup without knowing what my dyno graph looks like.

They aren't fast in stock form but if you get it properly tuned, swap out a higher boost pulley and add some sort of water/meth injection, I have no doubt they can be quick. The blowers are still low quality hunks of garbage in my eyes, though.

I'm curious, what is your setup?

 

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Wayne_Curr &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I'm curious, what is your setup?</TD></TR></TABLE>

Greddy kit with a bunch of extras. Self tuned with Crome.

The numbers in my sig are at 10.5 psi, but there were ignition pickup problems, so everything from 5200 to 6400 is missing. The peak number is right at 5200 right after vtec engaged.

 

I was thinking about putting one on my teg. They make good power for the price. The reason i would put a sc on my teg over a turbo is because of an intercooler. I know you can get the IC anodized black, but thieves will still want a turboed teg over a stock looking.

They dont make good power for the price. You can piece together a turbo kit for under 1k. I think turbos are easier to install anyway if you dont have to fab anything.

 

I have one on my LS and its pretty cool. The positives are instant response (great for getting around town), smog legal and fairly low reliability issues . The only negative I have, is changing the supercharger belt every 8-10k miles, but thats no big deal. I have it tuned on hondata and drivability is pretty close to stock. Your gsr will yield a signficant amount of more power than my LS of course. It just depends on how much and what kind of power your looking for. Good luck

Got any numbers recorded with that thing?

 

yea im looking for like 230 - 300 hp range around there. And dont want to mod any internals. Any ideas to be reliable at wat number I should stay at?

 

For 230 whp, you will def need the high boost pulley, kamikazee header, high flow cat, 2.5-3 inch cat back exhaust, bigger injectors and one hell of a tune.

 

If all you care about is having a little bit more power (210 - 225 whp on stock GSRs) while still being smog legal, then the JR supercharger would be ideal. The thing about whipple blowers is that it just feels like a few more cylinders were added to the motor (with the exception of the whine). Also, the JRSCs come with a valve that will open up at partial throttle to keep engine strain down.

Don't expect major HP gains, otherwise look at other FI alternatives. If 300+ whp are in your sights, look for more efficient (and insane) turbo set ups to acheive that.

Before you do any force inducting, check your motor for compression and leaks to make sure you won't have any troubles down the road.

PS: for the comment on the blown LS, The JRSC doesn't do them great justice. For the LS, I'd stick with the more common turbo route, unless a vtec head is swapped onto the block.

 

175whp 145tq for stock boost

reply to Freshazzburu, yeah the jrsc for the LS is kind of sad, the one for the gsr is much better.

How many psi is that? The current CARB legal JRSCs come with the 6psi pully I believe.
