so here it goes i bought my swap for my hatch a month ago its a jspec b18c (not type r but gsr) it came with a few mods but no ecu i have a rechipped p28 now but i just came across a jackson racing supercharger for the b18c it has the pulley upgrade which turns boost to 8 or 10 psi not sure and other goodies and is used for only 3 months the guy wants 1000 for it should i go that route or just save my money and get some cams and such
let me know
thanks
chris

 

for 1000 i would. even if you don't like it its still only 1/3 of the price new

 

yeah if you dont get it let me know!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i would not reccommend any products from JSRC....if anything is wrong with the kit you recieve even if pay to ship it back to jackson it will not get replaced without you being charged...someone on here had a bearing go out in one and they had it for 4 months and then sent it back stating the manager would not give approval to fix it....(jackson does not actually service the superchargers ,another co does but i cant remember the name)...he ended up taking it off because the repais would be so much money....he also bought it used as your are pondering....just a thought

Is the other company called Moss motors?

 

moss is jackson.

I`d get the charger. What else will add that kind of power to 1000 bucks?

 

yep thats IT...they went back in forth between two..one services em and one sells em and lets you bring em in to ship to moss...but can not touch the thing...its all messed up from what this guy said...it makes it easier for them not to look like bad guys,blame on eachother and then screw you

 

I would save my money a little longer and get a turbo kit. you can find a slightly used kit for a little more than that. jmho

 

great deal, i would look into it...if everything checks out go for it!

 

For $1000 i'd go for it but one MAJOR caveat, that is a VERY low price for a JRSC that has "only been used for 3 months" If it sound too good....you know how it goes.

Inspect it THOROUGHLY. look at the rotors, inspect the manifold for cracks, look at the condition of the pulleys, etc. If its good then buy it, it's a great deal

Another MAJOR caveat. At 8 PSI you are going to have to be very carefull with tuning and fuel management. expect to pay another 500-600 for that.

I am rebuilding my dear departed hatch (with a JRSC) in a few weeks. If you wan't to check out my setup you are quite welcome. I'm in DC but i do all my work at my rents place in McLean.
