I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

They aren't very easy to intercool, that's one problem heat-wise. I've been doing some research about the JRSC lately too, I think with the 'charger and a Hondata/Zdyne (tuned of course), maybe the water injection and larger injectors, that Hondas shouldn't have problems with charge air temp. But that's just me.

I didn't hear anything good/bad about the jackson. The supercharger that I read/heard that had good reviews and made more power was the Vortech (GSR application). I don't remember what the read advantages were, etc.

The JRSC and Vortech are two entirely different animals. Think of the JRSC as what you buy if you're after a flat torque curve, and the Vortech as what you buy if you're willing to sacrifice some low-end for mid and top range power. The Vortech does offer an air-to-water intercooler though, where the JRSC only offers a heat exchanger for the Miata application or water injection.

(Cliffnotes:: The Vortech hits a higher peak number, but the JRSC gets you torque)
