OK, I have been going on about this for a while now. I initially decided JRSC then changed my mind after reading about the lower mount Rotrex and fancied something a bit different to what you see on here.
Both have their good and bad points, but that hasnt made one stand out for me.
I want to track the car and a bit of a blast when at home, but it is also a daily drive but with only minimal miles. Fuel isnt really a problem and turbo is too much money at the moment for me.
I like that the jackson is fit and forget and that the low and mid range power are much improved, power is literally at your foot when you want it.
I like that the Rotrex builds up in power as you rev higher, with it being a centrifugal charger, meaning for the most power you have to keep the revs high.
I like the noise of both chargers, the jrsc whine and the Rotrex woosh with the blow off valve at gear change.
I have read that jrsc's have the manifold and shaft problems. But I will be buying new and getting it fitted at cpl so hopefully limits any of that and comes with a warranty.
The Rotrex can have problems with its oil lines and fittings and needs the oil checked and changed at set intervals.
Power wise, jrsc 290-310 bhp Rotrex 300- 320bhp (with the option to get an fmic later on for upto 370bh, roughly)
The lower mount Rotrex is the better performing one also produces upto 240lb/ft of torque.
Help me choose guys??? Anything i have missed out or got wrong, please point it out and i will add it.
