I'm starting this thread for everyone that may have purchased a Jackson Racing Super Charger for their D-Series in the past 5-6 years. I began my search for one over a year ago, and finally purchased mine off eBay for about $2,000. I've searched all the forums for as much relevant information as I can over the past 20 years and while there is a ton of great info, there is very little relevant current information and many links are dead or pictures are lost.

So I wanted to start a new discussion thread for those actually wanting to go down this road today.

Please do NOT tell me about how your Turbo is cheaper and makes more power and is much better than a SuperCharger. Feel free to post that on a different thread.

This is what I purchased. It was missing the alternator bracket, the FMU which I wasn't going to use anyways, and the various hoses and connectors. But the primary parts were all there and came with the fuel rail, injectors, throttle body. It also came with the unobtainable high boost crank pulley and the JR 3.4 pulley. I just wasn't sure how much of it would apply to my D16A6. I did just by chance happen to purchase an Alternator mount off a seller on Facebook Marketplace while searching locally for a JRSC prior to buying this kit off Ebay. It came with some extra parts that I weren't sure were even relevant to my application.

If you're looking for a CARB sticker, these are available on eBay for $40 + shipping

I'm guessing they printed them off because the listing always says they have only 1 left.
The E.O.# D-344-10 is the latest one.

1320 Performance on ebay has some tensioner parts and pulleys. They have more parts for B-Series.

LHT is back to modifying the JRSC to be liquid cooled. At this time the price is $1195 to modify your manifold and S-tube.

Paterico's information is where I initially began researching from. He's got a ton of information on what has worked for him.

Rebuild Kits are available on ebay for $110

Some pulley's can still be bought here and on ebay

Very Basic Understanding of the D-series JRSC kits. The Sebring labeled ones were the very first generation.

As soon as I received my purchase, I carefully documented what I had and what I was missing. The previous owner purchased it for his build, but sold the car and never installed it. So I had no idea of the actual history of the blower. The rotors were partially coated and there was some grind marks inside the housing. I smoothed the housing by sanding it with 320grit sand paper. The aluminum is pretty soft so it's not to hard. I used various tools to smooth it out and polish. Several people online mentioned that acetone can be used to strip the OEM coating off the rotors. I haven't tried that yet but that's my plan. I use a vapor steamer which worked as well but just very slowly.

I've seen references to this diagram for how the super charger is installed but I didn't understand how the belts are routed.The diagram on the left shows the two belts on the back and front parts of the crank pulley. The second diagram shows both belts on the same part of the crank pulley. I couldn't find any information to clarify this.

I found a picture on the internet--maybe this is Paterico? I'm sorry I can't remember..actually his CRX is red so I'm not sure whose it is. But I just did a comparison to see what the engine bay with the JRSC looked like and with mine before the install. A few things I'm wondering:

1.) I've heard the D16A6 throttle body won't mount on the S-Tube. My JRSC came with a OBD1 throttle body I believe but some of the sensors are broken on it.
2.) I've read conflicting information about whether the shock tower needs pounding or not for clearance. I still have to determine that.

Currently this is what I have purchased for this build:
Innovate MTL-X Plus AFR + Hulog + Chipped PM6 ECU
I have already confirmed I can read the chip, save it to a file, and open it up in Turbo Edit.
I have DSM 450CC injectors and a rebuild kit
JRSC Rebuild Kit
LED Boost Gauge


My plan is to run this JRSC on my D16A6 with OBD0 and the DSM 450CC like Paterico was doing. I'm not looking for crazy boost, I just want to have some more fun on my CRX which isn't a daily driver. It also adds a beautiful whine and some uniqueness to it.

I realize that just swapping out the ECU or tuning it will make it CARB illegal (same with injectors) however I'm going to see if I can tune it and keep it Smog legal through the sniffer or if its possible to just swap tunes when smog time comes, otherwise I have to pull everything and go back to stock and want to minimize the work to do that.

My Bypass Valve Actuator was broken. It held zero vacuum. I was able to find another one new from a Miata site that still carried parts for the M45 Eaton SC. It cost me about $200. Moss Miata had one as well but by the time it arrived it was going to cost about $250. The Miata site I got it from is called Track Dog Racing and they said these fail after around 30,000 miles. It might be worthwhile to buy a few while you still can.

I drained the oil and it wasn't too bad.

Yeah there are some grooves there. So that's why I decided to replace all the bearings. I started off by purchasing a 12 ton bearing press from Harbor Freight.
