Re: why does everyone hate the JRSC

I personally don't hate them.. I would just rather go turbo because i think there is more potential for making greater hp. Plus i like the sweet sound of a blow off valve.

It's a lot of money.
Pain in the ass to install.
Not worth it.

Re: why does everyone hate the JRSC

Most people only know about them what they've read on the internet, thats probably the biggest problem with them. Turbos are more efficient too.

I lub the JRSC. For the cost, it makes good power (you wouldn't complain about it).

OH, the way they scream.. Its fuggin awesome. I'd take that sound over a BOV anyday.

Good answers!

They run about the same price as a turbo kit.
They are ALOT easier to install, over a full turbo setup.
Not worth it? Why is that? Because YOU cannot afford to go with one?


Pound for pound, boost wise, the superchargers will not perform as well as a turbo. a 8psi turbo setup might yield 275hp, and a 8psi charger setup might yield 250hp.

Done right, a charger can be just as good as turbo.

Re: why does everyone hate the JRSC

Does anyone know the maximun about of boost A JRSC can put out? I know you can get different pullys.. but there has to be a limit.

Re: why does everyone hate the JRSC

i think with the kit for the d16 engine you can get a pulley to make the max psi around 11 psi for the JRSC. Any more would be a custom application (so i read anyway).

Re: why does everyone hate the JRSC

So really... a JRSC has a limit of 11psi.. if you want any more power you have to go turbo(without doing a custom set up and spending thousands) Anyone disagree with that?
