Jackson Supercharger vs. Performer X

[bamboo]

Can anyone tell me the advantages of either one over the other? What are the effects on HP and torque. Thanks.

isn't hte performer x just an intake manifold?

Well, a disadvantage of the JRSC is that it's an overpriced piece of garbage... lol go to http://www.jacksonracing.com.com/ and check out the dyno charts for the supercharger... anyways, on a d16z6 you might get 20 horses and that's a company's claim....4g's later

There is a performer X intake manifold, but there is also a complete performer X turbo system.

And thanks to dirtyd16 for the warning.

go with the greddy 96-00 turbo kit man. 165 hp @ 6 psi and comes with injectors and emanage also. get it comple on ebay for only $1950 shipped. i'm gettin mine soon.

you can get it from optauto.com or, even cheaper, thru sleepercivicex99 on turbod16.com, since he's an authorized options dealer.

Is there a reason why the 96-00 GReddy kit isn't listed on their site? Is it a 93-95 kit modded by someone else?

 

[anfrey]

the greddy site is way outdated. i haven't seen a change on there ever.

www.optauto.com

go to engines, turbo kits, honda.

I would scratch both of those options and get a Vortech supercharger because you will get better gains out of a Vortech than a JRSC

i didn't know vortech made a supercharger for the d16y8

He didnt specify which motor it was going to go on...I just think that JRSC are a waste of money

 

[slammedciv96]

Get an Fmax turbo... or there is always www.homemadeturbo.com

 

[anfrey]

true, i just figured he was asking for his ex

ya, I didnt really think about what engine he was going to put it on, and that might have just cause way more questions..thanks

All i know is th JRSC is a pice of crap......when you get one you also have to go through comptech to get a kit to fix the probs with the JRSC. At least I did when helpin a budy with his JRSC install on his integra type r. if it is the d series motor we are talkin about i would go for the edelbrock turbo kit.
