These are my posts from the local chapters section regarding my JRSC install. Thought I would just share it with you guys (and galls), plus the local people told me that I should post here too.

Ladies and gentalmen...the JRSC is now complete. I have finished the install today. Time now to take it out for a spin. I will say though, the install was a pain in the ass! It wasn't hard or anything, just time consuming. Everything went in perfectly except for the by-pass valve hose. It was a little short, but a slight modification to the hose was all it took. I'll have pics up as soon as I get the change. Unfortunatly, I did not take pics while the install was taking place. I'll have a pic of the finished product.

Hey there everyone. I just got my EP dynoed today. It dynoed at 192.5hp/150tq at the wheels. If you want to think of it as crank hp, then it would be about 221hp - 231hp, figuring about 15%-20% loss through transfer. The dotted line was from my first dyno with h/i/e, Nology wires, and Denso IR plugs. That reading was about 157hp at the wheels. Overall, a 35.5hp increase. I'll have the pics as soon as I get the film developed.

It took me about 8 hours to install. I took my time and made sure that I wasn't skipping anything or rushing anything. On a scale of 1-10 in difficulty I would have to say that it's a 3 for me. If you know what you are doing when it comes to a car and your're not scared, then it's a piece of cake. If you are not too sure about what you are doing under the hood then I would say to let some that is more experienced do it for you. As Keith at Jackson put it, if you know how to turn a wrench and do most of the work yourself (i.e. installing your intake, header, exhaust, and etc. yourself) then the install is a no brainer. I've made this offer on a earlier post, if your're interested in getting it done, I'll be more than happy to do the install for a fair price (a couple hundred).

Sorry about the lines on the dyno graph, but if you look at it close enough, you'll be able to see the lines. I'll post a darker image of it a little later.

Wow, your the second one ive heard of that has a problem. What was the problem with yours? Looks like JR took all that extra time for nothing.

It went fine for a couple of days, then a loud knocking noise from the charger came.

hmmm ... i would have thought you would have seen a bigger whp increase than that. that's only about a 22-23% power gain. did you take it to the same dyno both times? that 157 whp w/ I/H/E, ground wires and spark plugs is a bit higher than most others with similar mods.

yeah I was going to say, 157 is pretty high for i/h/e and wires. what are the conditions during the dyno's?

I took my EP to the same dyno both times. At the time of the 157 pull the complete setup was...
H/I/E
Nology Hot Wires
Ground Wires
Iridium Plugs
Hyper Voltage box (I think it was installed at the time, pretty sure)

157 was the same after 3 pulls. The exact conditions?? Well, it was inside with the fan blowing in the front, just the same as the final pulls with the JRSC. I talked to Keith at Jackson and confirmed that they made the same type of power with similar mods. All most a 40 hp increase is not bad. Roughly $100 for each hp gain. I've had the blower installed for about 2 weeks now, not troubles yet. Hope it continues that way.
