The installation took about 1.5 days. I'm not a mechanic, so had to search for some more detailed instructions on this forum, such as this very useful bumper removal DIY. Someone with more experience would do it within a day. The instructions from JR are clear enough, though I had to read some chapters several times trying to understand what they meant - more illustrations would definitely help.

But in general, I just would like to confirm - it's doable for sure. The kit has all the parts required for the install. Everything fits without any problems. The quality is excellent!

My BRZ has been running supercharged for 10 days - everything works, no issues so far. I'm still learning how to use this power - above 4000 RPM it's a rocket!

A note for the automatic transmission owners: if you haven't been driving much in the manual mode before, you would want to use the M mode more with the SC. Manual shifting definitely gives more control and allows to drive more smoothly. When AT downshifts on its own, it's just too much power on a kickdown!

Saliva glands now hurt, feeling dehydrated due to 24/7 saliva production. Thanks everybody!

Three Jackson Racing supercharged twins at Import Tuner/Super Street/Motor Trend FR shootout (and FF Battle)... zero failures, zero problems.

The "other" kit was nowhere to be seen. For that matter, the JRSC was the only FI kit present at all!

Anyone have ignition coil problems yet?

I've had the problem before the supercharger, ended up buying new coilpacks with a updated part number and I'm fine right now.

It's common, even on a NA car. Replace that one coil pack and the code will go away. ~100 at the dealer.

I pulled the passenger side coils last night and ordered new ones.

Car has been running great at the track though. One more track day in 2 weeks and then she gets put away for the winter. I plan to hit it hard next year and do TT.

My car ran half decently yesterday.
JRSC has been bulletproof for me so far.

7 track days boosted so far.
Although I am a very gentle driver and stay well below the redline.

How tough is a DIY on changing coil packs?

Each one just has one screw and then you just pull it out.

Was it fun pulling it out?
