Jackson Racing Rotrex Supercharger System Info and Discussion

[Xero-Limit]

Awesome, the JR crew have their stuff down on the rotrex kits. Looks like it is pulling damn hard.

It's already released.. Counter space Garage is already selling kits and I'd imagine soon others will to.

It's already out...

[Sonolin]

Awesome. Well now I can't wait until I can afford it

After tax season is over I can start saving for other things...

That tune looks killer.

looks great.

will jackson racing or any vendors be offering a package with a non CARB compliant tune anytime soon? i'm up in Canada, so I don't need to be compliant and if there is a "base" tune out there that squeezes out better numbers, i'd be very interested. preferably something that is friendly for higher altitudes and cold climates, if there is such a thing.

The existing tune was tested in Death Valley (for the highs), and in Colorado (for the lows/high altitude).

However, because there is SO much variance in setups, I don't believe a "canned tune" that's not CARB will ever be offered. Getting e-tuned may be an option for you, however.

Hi.

I'm definitely hands down interested in this system. I've used many of JRs superchargers on my prior Integra's back, oh around ten years ago or so and loved them.

I would like to know the following:

a) Will the system install 'as-is' to an 2013 A/T BRZ?
b) Is a tune truly required? i.e. I have a Unichip and might be able to tune with that or don't really want to forklift this with ECUTEK. I can, but I'd like to know options.
c) How is this system temperature effected (i.e. extreme cold of Chicagoland).
d) I have money in hand, and can spend some time to install. I am VERY interested.

Thanks.

a) it is only for the M/T at this time. Email Jackson Racing, so that they know there's demand on the A/T!
b) absolutely. You're increasing output by at least 40%. If you have a tuner that can use Unichip, then feel free to tune via Unichip.
c) Unless you're in extreme cold, you should be just fine
d) no A/T option at the moment...

[xcelir8brz]

Yeah, I thought JR would reply to this. But, thanks. I still need an answer to a) - physical fitment. b) I can prolly tune this myself. c) Thanks. d) Still applies.

I'm decently going with this setup, but i am waiting to see if other vendors will offer this with their own custom tune. Does anyone know any yet. I want a 93 octane tune and like what some vendors did with the innovative kit; for example, Perrin.

You'd spend more money in tuning labor trying to hack around and make a unichip work for FI than you would just paying for a tune or racerom software. There are many problems to solve when you go FI, and all of them are easier to fix given a more flexible solution than a piggyback. Brzedit or romraider would work up to a point, but having tried all 3 I can honestly say that ecutek is worth every penny, and makes solving just about every problem much simpler with custom maps.

What kind of impact would a UEL or EL header have over stock header using this S/C Kit?
I assume the factory tuned version would not support a header change?
(Also - please assume a aftermarket 3" catback is installed)

Thanks!
