Is this SC reliable for 240HP? Don't want it to be racing fast, just want a little bit more oomph in my DD.

Do you mean that whistle sound when the open valve is recirculating? Otherwise, when the valve is closed for full boost, there is no sound from valve; all air is directed to manifold.

Edit: Be careful to make sure that flutter sound is not surge to avoid ruining the compressor. |

Sad day... JRSC dieing
5 wonderful years, 23K miles.... but looks like it's over.
1 week ago, started to sound like this, and it is getting worse very quickly: Stethoscope on unit sounds pretty "grindy". 1 oil change maintenance a year and a half ago (and no, i did not get low on fluid at any point). At this point, thinking to just buy a new C30 unit, but obviously am a little gun shy. Thoughts? Last edited by drm; 10-11-2018 at 11:50 PM. |

Reliable is a relative term. Anyone buying this kit should keep in mind that these superchargers are not rebuildable and Rotrex is located overseas. When my first Rotrex failed after 3 months I knew it would be covered under warranty and did not want to wait for my warranty claim to be processed. This involves sending the the blower to Europe for inspection. Normally this is a 4-6 week process minimum I believe. Instead I forked over money for a replacement blower but still somehow waited well over 2 months to get a new Rotrex C38. I was eventually refunded under warranty. Hopefully my experience was a rare one. I have since moved on from the Jackson kit. I think Jackson Racing is a great company just wish they would use someone else for their blowers though. Preferably a company based in America that makes units that are rebuildable...

My experience is that the wait for warranty, rebuild, etc with Vortech is the same.
