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.

Re:jackson racing supercharger
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.
i dont know, i'd definatly get a turbo over it anyday..

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.

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
