Jackson Racing releases their new supercharger system for
2013+ Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ

Yorba Linda, California (October 15, 2013) – World leading supercharger experts Jackson Racing are proud to announce their new supercharger system for the Scion FR-S & Subaru BRZ is now available from $3995USD. The Jackson Racing FR-S/BRZ supercharger system delivers an impressive 50% increase in HP and 45% increase in TQ over stock! The power and torque delivery of the Jackson Racing supercharger system gives the FR-S/BRZ the perfect balance of power and handling. The Rotrex C30-94 supercharger provides a strong and smooth power band, while also maintaining perfect drivability and excellent fuel economy. Also, the Jackson Racing intercooler system is unique in the FR-S/BRZ market and has been engineered for proper bolt-on fitment.



The Jackson Racing FR-S/BRZ supercharger system has been extensively tested in all weather conditions to ensure factory drivability, excellent fuel economy, and proper emissions are retained while giving a substantial boost in performance. This includes not only the components in the system, but the Jackson Racing ECU calibration. The provided Jackson Racing ECU calibration is the product of hundreds of hours of dyno testing and thousands of miles of road and track testing. The Jackson Racing developed ECU calibration features proprietary tuning developments giving the supercharger system drivability equal to a factory vehicle. No hesitations, no hiccups, no band aids… Just a completely solid car. And just like our CARB-Legal CR-Z and Civic R18 systems, we are in process of getting the FR-S/BRZ system CARB-Legal!



“We knew the FR-S/BRZ platform would be a perfect match with our powerful, fuel efficient, emissions legal supercharger systems. After the 15,000+ miles of drivability and durability testing we have been through with the FR-S/BRZ supercharger system over the past year, it is hard to imagine the car without it,” said Oscar Jackson Sr., President and Chief Engineer of Jackson Racing. “When you buy from Jackson Racing you get over 30 years of experience in building high quality performance products and Championship winning engineering. All our system testing includes long, hard miles on the street as well as racetrack abuse in the hot California desert. It is crucial for us test and abuse our products beyond even what our customers would. We drive our cars daily just like our customers, so our products must be built to the highest quality standards.”



Oscar Jackson Jr. adds, “Our FR-S/BRZ supercharger system is powerful yet drivable, making this car easy to drive at the racetrack. You can now steer the car with the throttle effortlessly and the power is seamless all the way to redline. The FR-S/BRZ is a great car stock, but once you drive one with the Jackson Racing system you realize this is how it should have come from the factory!”

Stock vs JRSC FR-S/BRZ System

This is what I've been waiting to hear. I would pay $5,000 for those numbers with an easy, reversible install any day. I would replace the stock clutch eventually, but it's nice to see that its even held up to their rigorous tests thus far.

I wonder what type of 'upgrades' they will have as it already has an oil cooler and intercooler? A BOV perhaps? A more aggressive tune for those with I/H/E, etc.? Regardless, it looks like this and the Kraftwerks system just added a lot of options for you FRS/BRZ owners.

[ATL BRZ]

I'd still like to see where the Setrab cooler for the SC is mounted. Also would like to know officially if the Perrin/Mocal sandwich plate and engine oil cooler lines will clear the charge piping and intercooler.

Probably a pulley & injector type upgrade.

Nice looking kit. Have always been a fan of Jackson Racing!

So on a dynojet where a stock 86 puts down 165 whp... this would bump that by 50% to 250 whp?

Perhaps. Jackson Racing owns 4 different FRS/BRZ for testing. On a side note, we have pre-ordered our kit for our 2014 BRZ.

Why did you choose the JR kit over the other Rotrex kits like HKS and Kraftwerks?

1. Engineered design & vast amounts of testing (we've seen them test on cold and hot track days)
2. OCD quality control and packaging
3. Jackson Racing's reputation, wealth of knowledge, and experience
4. CARB (every JR supercharger kit has been CARB legalized)

Ninja edit
Rotrex and HKS are different companies that make centrifugal superchargers. Jackson Racing and Kraftwerks use the same C30-94 Rotrex unit (Koenigsegg CCX and CCXR use this particular unit as well). The HKS is its own centrifugal supercharger with similar specifications as the Rotrex units.

CARB legal Rotrex? Yes, very nice.

Looking forward to some on track giant slaying .

Any idea how much weight is added in total?

[Liebot]

How do you guys think the Jackson Racing tune will hold up at altitude?

We don't know the exact weights yet.

They have tested it in high altitude and cold weather in Colorado.

[digital_assassin]

How much boost is this kit creating with the pulley used for the dyno results that are posted?

[OICU812]

CSG this will be available to pre order from you soon? The JR link shows no option of pre ordering?
