My JRSC 38 is being delivered this week, and I purchased the CARB tune because I still have the OEM header (and have no plans to change), and I thought you only needed the custom tune if you changed headers. I was re-reading this thread to make sure I have everything set and saw that the factory CARB tune also may not be suitable with a non-OEM front pipe.
I have (1) a 3.0" Catted Perrin Front Pipe; (2) Perrin 2.5 Overpipe; and (3) 3.0" Catback Exhaust. So does this mean i will require a custom tune? And based on the above, would I get better reliability with the factory tune & reverting to OEM Front and/or Overpipe, or keeping the existing mods and getting a custom tune? FWIW, I currently have an off-the-shelf OFT tune and haven't had issues, so I would guess the catted Perrin Front Pipe doesn't affect airflow all that much? Thanks.

As a follow up to everyone reading the thread, anxiety over my installation is wearing off and as I adapt the new driving style now, I am gaining full confidence on the car (and myself) again. The car is totally transformed (for better), I felt like I had to relearn driving this car again. The supercharged engine is working great so far. The Rotrex unit itself has a very healthy sound and response. I am also very happy with the JRSC factory tune; engine is so smooth at every rpm. Engine is completely docile up to 3000rpm and it unleashes the horses after that. Normal driving mpg is exactly the same as before, of course if you can really resist all temptations. Thank you Jackson Racing! Thank you 86Speed! |

My suggestion is read the install guide, then read it again. The hardest/most intense part was priming the unit. I was scared I was going to mess it up lol. But in the end, worked perfectly |

It's been almost two years since I did it so I don't recall all the details, but I combined it during install of the supercharger traction fluid cooler. It just made sense to me, as they are mounted end to end of each other.

If I replace the stock PCV valve with the STI version, is the high performance PCV valve that came with JRSC kit still needed? I would appreciate someone who knows can chime in.

So I may be having a minor problem. I am having difficulty connecting the Rotrex cooler hose to the barn. I can't tell how far it needs to be seated in order to seal with the worm clamp. Can anyone tell me if I need to get the hose over #1 in the photo below so that it meets #2 or if it just needs to but against #1?
Thanks. |
