I keep coming across jrsc units failing after 2 years. Could you guys list..

1. how long (month or miles) jsrc been on

2. when did the jsrc fail (month or miles)

 

most people sell them after 6 months

 

lol...true true... mine lasted 6 months almost exactly. holden's had his for long long time and just recently the rings gave up the ghost.

 

me 2 months

 

over 3 years and still going!

 

The only reason the blower fails is , 1 Too much belt tension and 2, spinning it too many RPM's.
The blower has 100,000 mile warranty, That's why the factory choses them. Here's a the key , Don't spin the blower over 16,000 rpm's and it will out last most motors. Don't run anything smaller then a 3.6" pulley on the Blower and you wont have belt slipping problems.

 

Have had mine on for 7 months now and I love it.

 

Get a Turbo.

 

8 months here and still puffing along. 1 month with a 30 shot on it

 

almost a year. i enjoy mine, thinking about going to 10 lbs

 

Four months and counting, 9 psi coming soon.

 

Over 25K HARD miles at 5.5 psi. Just went to 8 with stepper pulley. No problems yet.

 

what is your setup with that 30 shot??? do you have dyno numbers or time slips???

 

13 months, 45,000 miles, bought it used with 15,000 already on it -- no problems yet...

 

Had my blower on for nearly 4 years.....75,000 hard driven boosted miles. The blower still works perfectly, but the engine recently gave out due to ringlands.

The blower manifold once developed a crack in it but JR replaced the manifold free of charge and it's been perfect ever since.

 

I've had my JRSC on my Civic for 3 1/2 years, 37,000 miles.
The Idler pulley needed to be replaced, but I am still on the
original drive belt!

what are ringlands and how hard are they to replace? are they the piston rings?

 

Ringlands are part of the piston. It's where the rings are seated on the piston.
