jackson racing supercharger
 

anyone here ever use one on a honda? i've found one for a pretty cheap price and was just looking for some feedback from someone with experience with jackson racing or any other supercharger. i've heard horror stories about them but i've also good things.

well, everyone has an opinion. you prolly hear good things about them from people who have them and have never had a turbo. i can almost bet you haven't found one for 1k dollars or less, therefore, you would be better off getting a turbo, it will be cheaper, more easily upgraded, and you will never be able to make as much power with a supercharger as you can with a turbo. about the only positive thing about an sc, is that you don't have lag.

Re:jackson racing supercharger
 

you can change the size of the SC's drive pulley to pump out more psi... 5psi stock, smaller pulley = faster spinning = 7-9 psi ;)

Re:jackson racing supercharger
 

yeah, i know, but you can also get a bigger turbo ;)

Re:jackson racing supercharger
 

Get a T-Bird Eaton M-90 SC from Onyx..15 psi stock that thing should be enough

Re:jackson racing supercharger
 

well, if its a b-series..the vortech is good but very expensive!!! jackson racing :-\ i dont know, i'd definatly get a turbo over it anyday..

Re:jackson racing supercharger
 

Well from what I have seen there really not all that impressive. I have raced alot of them and a basic dohc zc swap takes a stock si crx with one of the jackson chargers so it's not all that fast. For the cost unless it's less than a grand skip on it and by far the best f.i on hondas is turbos.

Re:jackson racing supercharger
 

SC hondas are very slow. It takes soo much power away from the motor just to spin the damn thing. Also would you really want to be changing pulleys all the time for more boost? But if you really want a charger a centrifical blower from Vortec is 100% better than the roots blower from jackson racing

Supercahrgers=parasitic drag!
There too expensive for the power you get.

Re:jackson racing supercharger
 

word to above, superchargers are too spendy, plust JR bearing have been know to fail, rendering you useless. Get a turbo and a smile, and save the cash for brakes
