Jackson Racing's Latest

There is no noise, no oil lines running to the motor, throttle response of a Roots supercharger (Roots mounts to the top of the engine), compressor efficiency of a turbo, no lag, and doesn't have the heat which is commonly found in turbos. I don't know how it is possible. If anyone can explain it, please do. Check it out. www.jacksonracing.com and click on "our products".

HKS sells a Rotrex kit as well. Never seen them used on civics yet though... who's gonna be the first one to get one? Jackson Racing can use my hatch as a test mule if they want :hehe:

That makes sense. I never thought of that. And I would be more than willing to let them use my car as a test mule as well. haha
