It is the new Rotrex supercharger. 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".

They use more efficient "planetary rollers" which also make less noise. The oil is a self contained unit with an external oil cooler.
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:

I have seen one of these on an EK with a built gsr it made 430hp on 14 or 15psi. But it did make the whining noise like most superchargers, sounded SICK.

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
