JRSC installed
Hey guys, sorry it took so long to post, but I've been extremely busy the last few days.
Anyway before I say anything else, if any of you are installing or having the JRSC installed, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT cut the ECU wires like it tells you to do in the instructions. I called Jackson Racing and they told me not to cut the wires, even though it says to in the instructions. Unfortunately, for me it was too late:( But I just soldered the wires back together, no real harm, just a bit of a hassel.
As for the install itself, it wasn't too bad. The mechanical stuff was easy, the hard part was that Jackson Racing's directions sucked! On a few of the components they said you could use a wobble socket to tighten the bolts, but that was not the case. We spent over an hour just trying to get to those bolts to tighten them, what a pain! Getting the charger itself into position was kinda a bitch too. It's a very tight fit. Oh and also there was a component that bolts up to the throttle body that had a burr on one of the gasket sealing surfaces. We had to file that down, and I notified Jackson that there may be something wrong with their mold for that part. Other than that and the ECU problem it was pretty much straight forward. Definitely worth the money I save for someone else installing it.
As for performance, it was just what I was looking for:D The powerband is extemely smooth and the car pulls like a raped ape especially from 4000 rpm and on! The car is a blast to drive and a little of the bottom end I lost from i/h/e is back and then some! I'm sure it doesn't really compare to you guys with turbos, but for me, it's all about the direct bolt-on and CARB legality issues. I can hopefully dyno in the next couple weeks, but I can't promise anything. Funds are kinda tight now!
I don't have my pics ready yet, but Steve from K-Series.com offered to host them for me. Hopefully I'll have them in the next couple of days.
If anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to answer anything I can.
Thanks guys!

sweet, glad you got it on. So no sign of tip in detonation at all right!? When I had mine (on my old 97 EX) I got some as it hit the higher rpms...kind of like the initial sound of popcorn in the microwave...but that was a different call all together.
Doesn't surprise me about the instructions :D they always suck.
I'm going to move this to the boost forum and provide a link to it in your other post
Thanks 02SilverSiHB.
Nope, no detonation at all. If fact the Jackson Powercard module seems to be an excellent system, much improved over their older systems.
Just curious how long did you have your old EX supercharged?
maaaaaaaaaaaaaan i am jealous...would be great to see someone's dyno other than what they have posted up to see if anything has changed and to know EXACTLY what the setup is....congrats!
did you ever dyno prior to the JRSC install? about how long overall did the install take?
if i'm ever able to save up the money, i'd definately like to go with a JRSC.
what spark plugs are you running?
congrats
This thread is worthless without pics..... :D :D
yeah it would be nice to see pics....but that shit is gettting old...and you are completely wrong...there is nothing that a pic would add to this thread, unless it was a pic of the dyno chart...because this has been installed on one or two other ep's for testing, so you can see what it looks like there or just look at some other older honda with one.....Originally posted by Zigen5
