Comparing Jackson Racing to BRP is very much like comparing stock from Toyota to that of Ford. Think about it...

Jackson Racing has the financial support to back up their claims. They arent a small mom and pop shop like Lovefab or BRP, regardless of how long they have been around.

 

LOL Trivium. You always have to find something to argue about.

It's still just a line on a page.

 

You will most certainly be producing boost at 4K rpm. You're engine won't be using the boost, but it will use power to make it. This is what bothers me about the centrifugal kits. No matter what RPM you spin the blower, it's always compressing air through internal compression. Under part throttle conditions, that energy is completely wasted.

A modern roots-style eaton/magnussen blower or a turbo setup will be much more efficient in part throttle conditions.

 

It takes a true baller to dump that much into a car and not finish it off be cleaning up the body.



Lets forget tuning, how long does it really take to fab up some brackets???

can I get a woot woot for a tuner kit?

 

When Oscar says he's going to do something it will be done in an efficient matter and correctly.

Jackson Racing is a CLASS ACT.

 

I talked to a couple guys at Jackson Racing today. The expected availability for the kit (non-CARB version) is 4-6 weeks.

As mentioned before - Oscar is at SEMA this week, but they plan to update the website over the weekend with more details.

One thing I would add is that the Jacksons are getting back into this following a 3 year vacation (as stated on their website). This is not the same company as it was in the past - I think this will be more akin to a new start-up than the old tried and tested JRSC company of the past. Moss Motors now owns all of the old Jackson products @ www.superchargers.com even though it still bears the JR logo.


Of course I could probably call Wayne about his time machine and he could tell me that he was looking to release it in 4-6 weeks also.

 

ausS2000 is test fitting the time machine on my s next week for sub 0 second 1/4 mile passes.

 

Im sorry, I forgot this was a public forum. How rude of me.

 

a roots style supercharger uses more energy to spin than a centrifugal supercharger... (what it gives up in efficiency it gives back in a flat low end torque curve) my last car had one.... just like the centrifugal supercharger it has a bypass valve that drops the boost when cruising... but it is still using engine power to spin the supercharger no matter what design... unless its a mercedes design with a A/C style clutch to disengage the S/C when cruising.

 

Very Good point. After I posted my comments I spoke with a friend that told me most systems have a bypast valve while cruising, so that is very important to point out. With that said, end though I LOVE low end torque, I am happy to keep the current power characteristics of the car and the Comptech s/c has the realiability that I am looking for.

I do hope that they actually mean 4-6 weeks, but I sincerely doubt it. Let me know when that Time Machine is ready, so I can buy several thousand shares of Microsoft back in 1988.

Once again to all FI. We all have the same quest for more power, whether or not we have different requirements.
