Anyone local with a Jackson Racing Supercharger?
 

I am thinking of purchasing a Jackson Racing Supercharger sometime in the near future, and was wondering if any local folks had one installed already. Would love to meet and see your car, and would be more than happy to buy you coffee. :thumbup: I live in the South Bay.

Don't know if you are free next Weds, but up in Lake Tahoe at this SCION event, Jackson Racing will be there with their supercharged car to answer questions. :)

Haha probably won't be able to drive up to Tahoe. Thanks for pointing that out though!:happyanim:

Let me know if you find someone with one. I am very interested!

Will do. I'm pretty set on purchasing this next month. I'll let you know once I have it installed. :party0030:

I will be waiting!! Are you doing your own fuel management?

Sticking with EcuTek's CARB Legal tune. Maybe down the road when I crave more power :)

Got home today and had a huge grin on my face :D

First in NorCal? Now to install it before the NorCal 86 Summer meet.

Any dyno results with that specific tune and will the tune pass the ODBII check for SMOG? Trying to figure out the best way to stay CARB legal with the least hassle.

Nice. Look forward to seeing it at the summer meet. :w00t::party0030:

id like to see this as well.

I was planing on getting the Jackson Racing SC too. I'm interested in hearing your impressions.

By the time we have to SMOG the cars, it should only be a visual and a quick OBD connection to verify the VIN and all monitors set with no Emission codes. You can get around that with some software.

Nice!! Congrats!! Will ck out ur car at the Summer Kickoff party!!

I am definitely interested in seeing this setup! What do you think of the kit so far?

Thanks all! Just finished the install today and wow, I have to say, the car completely woke up. Cliche, but this is the way it should'e come from the factory. Torque all around, and not to mention an awesome blower sound. I almost feel the car runs smoother at idle, and its not much louder than it was before (I only have the Greddy SP Elite).

I'll be driving it a bit more tomorrow, but overall the kit is awesome. The instructions were very well written, and the install was straightforward. I had some issues getting the intercooler piping to sit correctly so that the bumper could be fitted, and ran into some pinching issues of the oil cooler lines. It took me about a day to do the whole install.

Not very interesting, but here is the first start up:

Did you also purchase the JR oil cooler too or is that a different one ?

Great job on the installed. Looks good. :w00t:

Thanks! I did purchase the JR oil cooler; replaced the Perrin kit because of the seamless fit of the JR cooler. You have to do a bit of brainstorming when installing the oil cooler with the SC kit, as the oil cooler instructions treat it as if the SC was installed first.

How many mile are on the car?
Any suspension mods..besides the strut tower brace in the video?

About 7k miles on the car, no real suspension mods. I track the car quite a bit, and will begin club racing it next year. I will be tweaking the alignment soon to be more track friendly. Stock suspension and brakes (Project Mu pads) are VERY good on this car, and can handle the 240-250 whp it now has. If I push past 300 whp, I'll probably begin considering upgrades. Don't get me wrong, I'm a firm believer in suspension first over power, but in this case, it wasn't enough hp to get me worried lol. :D

I've had mine in for about a month now. Really loving it.

I agree with you that the stock suspension is VERY good (Michelin Pilot Sport tires) however, I don't like the stock ride height. I just got KW V3's and SC would be the next thing. It seems like the reviews/experiences with this SC has been positive so far.

Jibai (great name btw, I get it... :lol:)

I forgot to mention that my track tires are wider RPF-1's w/ Rivals, so there is additional grip there! The stock ride height is ugly haha, I agree. Please let me know if I can help your SC decision in any way. The reason I picked this kit was because it seems to be the most widely track tested and abused kit. Also, being CARB legal helps.

Hope you do come to the June 8th meet. Would like to check out the JR SC. Thinking of going with this supercharger. :w00t:

Congrats on the install / upgrade. Let me know if you are ever near the south bay. I am hoping to ride in a JR SC car sometime soon before I order one for myself...

I'll be there :)

I live in the Cupertino area. Shoot me a PM and perhaps we can meet up. :lol:

Yes, I feel that this CARB thing is going to help me avoid the PITA later cuz I'd rather do "one and done" instead of scrambling to find a place that will pass it.

PS. You should post pics of your ride btw. :iono:

Sure thing - nothing special, especially bc the wheels aren't on right now but here are a few shots of the install:

Spitz,

We should try to park near each other at the June 8 event. JRSC's unite! LOL!
