JRSC + stock suspension, tires, alignment, Winmax W4 brake pads, and RT700 brake fluid. BTW, this was nowhere near the fastest lap as we were monitoring coolant and oil temperatures on stock radiator without oil cooler. This is just @CSG Mike just screwing around just to show what the car is capable of with stock suspension, tires, and alignment.

Of course, but the point is the driver is the key thing. SC or no SC, a good driver is going to be able to keep the car going faster overall than someone who isn't as good. And yes, stock suspension is quite good. That's part of what makes this car so nice.

Quick question guys. If I decide to get Jackson Supercharger do you think ill need to get the oil cooler with it. I live in Vancouver so the weather doesn't really get to hot here and im not goin to be taking the car on the track.

The fr-s is a great car, and the fuel delivery is unique, but it's not some physics defying machine that requires an advanced engineering degree to own. Or work on. When the K-series was released, the Honda world was the same way for a couple years, "It's maxed out from the factory, VTC + VTEC!?, multiple fuel & spark maps! - no one will be able to modify these." When the GT-R came out, the Nissan world was the same way again for the first couple years. "It's too advanced to modify :scared:" In another 12 to 18 months, perceptions about modifying these cars will be different. Right now, it's still too new. But if you're using that as an excuse to accept shoddy work from a shop, well then that sucks for you. Because you shouldn't. |

We are talking about someone going for aftermarket FI who might not know how a basic 4-cycle internal combustion engine works yet expects solid reliability and low maintenance. Advanced engineers figuring out how to tune Vtec is a different thread, thx. |

Oil cooler kit for FI is pretty much a must. In 3 pulls on any setup, you'll notice significant changes in power delivery with each successive pull. These cars run the oil pretty hot.

Try sitting on the highway in 3rd or 4th gear at ~65mph, and watch how quickly the oil temps go up. Now, let the oil cool down completely, and then do some WOT pulls from 1st to 3rd. The numbers you see will be enough to convince you. |

you can be in a innovate SC kit for 4k for everything needed... and really easy to install, unless you want big power later... then go turbo.
I have had the supercharger on for over 5k miles now and no issues, you do have to keep an eye on the fluid level every so often, but other than that its maintenance free. Turbo's can be just as reliable, but often more expensive because they force you to replace exhaust and some other components whereas the supercharger does not require an exhaust change nor really anything else |

You didn't need to grind anything to get the Innovate to fit? I thought there were some issues with some pulleys not running true and possibly wearing out or breaking belts? |

thanks guys. I decides that ill get a supercharger. I looked at a bunch and narrowed it down to Kraftwerks and Jackson SC, they seem like they are more reliable though a quite a bit more expensive. Any suggestions? how reliable is innovative SC compared to these?

No accepting shoddy work is one thing; if you're going to play with modding cars, you best be able to do it yourself, or not need the car for DDing, neither of which fits the bill of the OP.
