Jackson Racing Supercharger Owners Thread

Many others who have it say it falls off power wise at about 6900 rpm on the JR tune. I am not on the JR tune, and have full aftermarket exhaust (ace type a 350 header and over pipe, JDL ultra quiet front pipe, invidia q300 cat back). It pulls hard all the way to redline, and you really hear it then- really at any gear changes at RPMs above 5000. It makes whooshing noises while at neutral throttle positions when at stabilized steady state speeds. It sounds strange when that happens. You really only hear that clearly at lower stabilized speeds under maybe 25-30 mph. And, as I stated before, it also sounds like a jet idling down a taxiway when at stabilized speed from parking lot speeds to lower highway speeds in my car. Just a constant turbine whine. So whooshing and jet turbine noises when stabilized speed. It has good noises. Everyone tells me or asks what it is, It just isn't a roots or twin screw type of noise. And, it is definitely more subtle. Car guys and girls know something is up, sometimes they just aren't sure what. I still hear it loud and clear btw. I was really wanting good noises when I was buying, and I was under the impression I wouldn't really have them. I resigned myself to settle for performance. I was pleasantly surprised, but with a different kind of noise.

The noise is there, but only really identifiable to the trained ear. It does sound similar to a turbo at high RPMs, and even more so with the HBP.

Glad you're liking your setup!

Love it!!! Also, I hear the noise, but the recirculating aspect is quiet.

Finished the install and got CEL U0155 that won't clear.

Edit: This is after using the Jackson Racing CARB tune.

What vehicle year file did you install? The files are year and transmission specific.

The first couple seconds is a good idea of what it sounds like. A jet idling at taxi is the perfect way to describe it. I have a turbosmart 25mm dual port bov to feed my ricer needs. I've taken it off and put it back on a few times. It's pretty loud.

For the DTC, do you have a reader plugged in? If you start your car with a Bluetooth OBDII plugged in and whatever communicating to it it'll give you that code.

I received the correct tune from Jackson Racing and it's all working great. The sound is awesome. The acceleration is awesome. Just have to install the fun meter and smileometer.

Any word on when the next set of kits will be ready for shipment. Ordered mine over 3 weeks ago and getting anxious. Can't wait to install.

Thanks to this thread I ordered my JRSC yesterday. Super excited!

Edit: sorry, my mechanic is now trying to talk me into a Sprintex

Service interval of 50k vs. Sprintex's 30k.

IIRC, the service interval for Edelbrock is 100k.

Something to think about

You need a new mechanic!

I have been going back and forth between a few supercharger kits... I believe I am going to pick up a JRSC kit very soon. I am still doing some research on a few other things. I can't wait...

Any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

The rotrex does have a bypass valve right?

Received my c38 kit last friday, but I will not be able to install it until saturday the 14th... I wanted to do it this weekend but I guess the right thing to do is show my mama some love. With regards to sound im hoping ill be able to hear a little whine and or blow off noise but i doubt that will be the case with my current exhaust set up. Cant wait!
