jrsc for the ep

[jdm03ep]

what do you guys think about a jrsc for our ep(i know its not out yet)? are yo going to buy it? have you had it on a car before this one, and how did you like it?

oh ya and do they make a sound or do they run silent because some guy told me thats what he had on an integra(jrsc) and it sounded like little jet

PS I have a S/C and it does sound like a jet.

I sometimes think about going with JRSC and just keeping it at 6lbs of boost. I don't think I want to boost this car too much, so I won't go turbo and just keep it simple with a JRSC

I agree 02silver. I plan on keeping my car a very long time.

the jackson racing sc is too expensive for only about a 40% power increase and a mild torque increase...plus the jrsc only has a limited potential ( only about 7psi to 8psi).....i do recommend turbo, because nothing beats boost!...

you know I was just talking to a friend of mine, that has been doing some research on supercharger versus turbo...he says that the JRSC actually puts more stress on a engine versus a 7psi turbo :o

At the same psi a supercharger *should* induce more stress over time...
=(

But people boost turbos like nuts though =P so the reliability drops quite a bit with people running 20 psi lol

yeah :) 20psi will definitely do it

since a supercharger is belt driven the turbo compressor runs at the same speed and it doesn't shut off , so the engine gets more stress in the long run.....on the otherhand, turbo usually shuts off about 6000rpm-6500rpm depending on the set up...so hypothetically turbo should not damage the engine if boost is kept at moderate levels ( 7-9 psi )....but of course once the psi levels reach 12-20, the risk is much higher then just engine reliabilty... still i am going with a turbo setup for my car, the risk is worth it!

thats a good way to look at it:D

as far as the JRSC, i'll wait to see how it does on someone else's ep to get a good idea of whelther it is worth it or not. :)

you do know boost from a supercharger is the same as boost from a turbocharger. At small boost pressures superchargers tend to have lower air temperatures than turbos. As boost level increases supercharger's thermal efficiency will decrease drastically. A turbo's thermal efficiency will not decrease as severly and the bonus is that you can easily add a intercooler to bring down the air temperatures.

I don't know where you got the idea that a turbo can turn off at a given rpm. Unless you mean when the throttle is shut the wastegate is opened the boost level "by-passes" the engine. A supercharger is always spinning, but the air it is compressing is not always going to the engine.

Does anyone know what the JRSC will cost(roughly)?

[dustinhurley]

$3,500

Thank you!

Just emailed JR and here's their response:

The supercharger will be released in April. At this time, that is all the information I have.
