Food for thought: I was interested in both the JR and the Harrop but ended up with Edelbrock for the following reasons:
-Suits my driving, "mid" range power useful for passing on the freeway with out down shifting, etc. -"Kick in the pants feeling" which I don't think I felt driving a JR (more of a gradual build then noticing "oh shit I'm going really fast!") -Tech support (nice to have a direct number to call, in the same time zone) -Already available (Harrop was not released at that time) Reasons to consider Jackson over Harrop -cheaper -lots already out there, so thoroughly tried and tested (can't say the same for the Harrop...yet!) -Good support (same comments as Edelbrock) So I suggest you go with... HARROP! Blaze the trail buddy! If I recall, Harrop also has a front mounted intercooler, so if you do end up going with them after trying the JR, you will have to figure out where to mount the oil cooler, like the bottom mount that Harrop offers. |

Thanks for the input! And yes you are correct about the oil cooler problem... Just another pain in the ass potentially too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, but... Have you seen the edelbrock thread lately? People running this with the edelbrock have experienced problems with their temps since its larger and pumping out more heat from the back and into the engine bay as air cycles through the system. Thus, I have some reservations. Maybe @CSG Mike has more insight? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Harrop's hoses actually have these really nicely thought out cobra clamps and clips that hold all 4 of the formed hoses for the IC coolant. I actually thought it was a neat touch that they made sure to use such secure mounting. Our cars already have a bunch of spaghetti on them with the AC lines and wires. The lower form factor and black finish really makes it look like it's a totally stock engine bay... with the massive gain of a supercharger helping the engine consume air. If it wasn't for the words "SUPERCHARGED" written on each IC housing, you'd never guess the car received a major upgrade in power.
My PTuning headers also keep the visual appeal of "stock" since they do not sweep up. If you really want to splurge, I guess you could go for the ACE header that was designed for SC. I'm not sure of the apples comparison between headers after SC since it's not as important. Btw, I went for a Clutch Masters FX350 clutch with included flywheel. It comes in 7 lbs lighter than stock as a whole unit and is a bit tricky to drive unless you're used to modified cars and snappy clutches. I'd recommend going with something that can hold the tq but keeps stock weight to keep the drivability factor. As far as oil coolers, I'd recommend the jackson racing one or other models that can mount on the crash bar or in the radiator. I've seen a few people in wrxs ruin their vehicles after accidental offroading incidents that tore out their cooler. The IC core is pretty beefy. I have some caliper measurements somewhere on a pad of paper, but I believe it's slightly larger than edelbrocks. It's annodized black too, which is a really nice touch. |

True. My main concern was shipping (GA, USA) and reliability. But they seem to have quite the reputation. I'll be running Tomei EL headers, OP/FP, and 80r exhaust. Oh, and corn
