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

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 :oOriginally posted by rhs29

At the same psi a supercharger *should* induce more stress over time...Originally posted by 02SilverSiHB

=(
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 itOriginally posted by Tekdemon

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:Di am going with a turbo setup for my car, the risk is worth it!
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.Originally posted by rhs29

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)?
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.
