Does anyone have a jackson supercharger if so any problems. I have a heavy piece of iron under the hood that doesn't work to full power. I'm very lost and have tried everything jackson has suggested. It doesn't seem to work intill after 60 mph, which is a pain in the *** for 1/4 mile racing. I have NOS but don't want to use it intill the charger is working 100%. I have a 98 Honda Civic please any help would be nice.

 

hahah i have the same problem. Thank god i bought it that way and have a b16 waiting to be plopped in there. My car is so slow. it isnt fast till around 65 MPH. We run 1/8th mile track. I ran a 10.7 driving the **** out of it. thats slower than a stock ex with an intake....you tell me! **** JACKSON RACING!

 

when are you reading boost?

 

Check the belts, bypass valve and the manifild to blower seal. You should make boost instantly, by 2500 rpm you should make full boost.
Something wrong somewhere !

 

make sure the belts are not slipping.

i am not a big fan of jackson racing, seems to be kinda weak for the money.

 

My first recommendation is to buy a boost guage. At least then you can read if the boost is staying in your motor, or pissing out of you IM. If your boost guage reads 6psi, then tapers down to 3 or 4, you know that you have a boost leak, or your bypass valve is slightly open.

If that's not your problem, you have to look into your tuning. Is your fuel ratio set properly? What about timing?

We need more info to work with here.

 

I agree with hypa. You need to look at Air/Fuel, boost pressures, and timing. Something is definitely amiss if you aren't getting instantaneous boost. I've had my JRSC for over a year, and have had no such trouble.

 

it reads six pounds but not until around....5500 rpms. It doesnt leak...im running rich and my timing is set at 10 degrees...i dont know what stock is on a SOHC....I bought this car as is...i flipped my 2000 si...so im trying to work with it till my b16 is built...what should timing be set at?? also im running rich but my plugs seem the be awfully white....like im leaning...any suggestions...Also my CEL comes on with a code of knock sensor....AKA detonation....How can i prevent this???

WHAT!...I thought SC's had zero lag...WTF!! No advantages in having one then, is there?

 

It is true that there is no lag. You can punch at 1200 rpm and get boost. You just won't get full boost. On my car, I saw 8 psi by about 4000 rpm. I saw about 5-6 psi at 3000 rpm, and like 4 psi at 2000 rpm, etc.
