What is it you are wanting? If you are asking about a roots type SC, it supposedly won't work well with such a high redline.

a properly sized roots blower would work just fine with the f20c. it would need to be geared down a bit more than normal, and would need to be one of their larger blowers to be efficient.

i have a feeling it would be pretty difficult to package, and jackson racing is not really known for the elegance of their engineering. i had their kit on my prelude and while it worked, it was pretty kludgy in several ways : the mechanics of it, the electronics, and the fuel "management."

I talked to the reps at the sema show and they said that there will never be one. Their excuse? Not enough room. Anyone who owns the HyperRev magazine knows otherwise

I have a friend with a Del Sol with an Integra Type "R" motor swap with a Jackson Racing supercharger. Her car is very high compression and very fast, and it seems to work very well. I think it's possible on an S2000 but is there a demand for this kind of supercharger? I would rather have instant power from a roots blower and sacrifice a little top end !

I don't see why it can't be done. They just finished their systems for the RSX Type S... and Hondata is packaged with the system, increasing the redline to 8,600 or even higher if you want.

I'll never understand why these larger tuners can't fess up and say it was a business decision. If you look at the cars that JR makes kits for, it's clear that they are going after the largest possible market share. I have no problem knowing the S2000 is too small a market for them to go after.
