Jackson Racing Super Charger

[Snackz]

Hey, im saving up to get a supercharger. mostly for the relability. but i was curious as to if there are any other coniderations besides over heating, fuel pump. my engine has about 160,000 miles.. am i gonna have to upgrade anything? i got a d16z SOHC VTEC..
anything will help.

You do realize that while superchargers are great and all, any forced induction is going to do baaaad things to a high-milage vehicle. Also, it's only a 40% increase in power, so the same $2800 you spend on a supercharger for your z6, you could swap in a b16 and have WAY better compression and something to build on and only 10 less horsepower. THEN you buy the high boost kit and throw on your 11psi pulley

Anyways, do what you want, it's your money.

-Eran out.

yeah i realize that.. and i dont expect my engine to last a whole lot longer. i figured once i get the lareg purchase of the supercharger out of the way, if my engine were to croke on me i can go buy a newer d16 for about 600. then just throw the charger on that. any opinions? and i would rather go supercharged, because i dont have a whole lot of time to keep maintanence on a turbo.

thats was what i was going to get but changed my mind

I would do a compression test on the engine. See if it can even handle any boost. If it can, then get the sc, if it can't, then get a new engine before you waste the money on the sc.

I have a Jackson racing Supercharger on my 94 ex. runnin 6 psi it puked my clutch i got about 110k on it now. but other than that cost its a good product just try to get one that has the 8psi pulley already with it if your gonna buy second hand.

i know people say that SC arn't as good as turbos in the 1/4 mile or w/e but if you think about it on a d series engine it has like no toque and it just seems more practical that a SC on a d series engine would be faster then a turbo because i herd from somehwere that a SC produces better numbers..... but they say you have so much toque you can't get traction but on a d series engine i doubt you can have THAT much torque ya know>?

yeah a friend of mine had a 8-9 psi on his JR blower on a mini me and beat a guy with a 10 psi turbo settup out hole and won just about everytime at the track
