Jackson Racing announces R18 Rotrex Supercharger kit

[webby]

Have you been through 420's r18 build? I know it's on the extreme end of the spectrum, but it shows just about anything is possible. He may have input on cams

I know!!!!! It is pretty awesome

 

[GoProTony]

Have they decided to go I production for this yet?

Correct, but the 8th and 9th gen r18 engines are extremely close to one another.

Yeah, i asked 420 for help when i first got on here and had questions about an 8th gen intake. Since the engines are so close thats probably why most motor bolt-ons are a straight swap.

Hmm his dash gauges is red :O Shouldn't R18 be blue ?

 

[FB2Chris]

They're interchangeable.

With minor modification, 8th gen kit will fit 9th gen civic. It shouldn't take Jackson Racing long to make 9th gen SC kit.

$3500-4500 depending on the kit.

ya down payment on a new toy.

ya down payment on a new toy.

I know right? Only problem is having space for a second car. That's where I'm stuck at the moment. I've got the budget but no place to park it or work on it! I think i'm gonna end up with this kit on my LX just so my DD will be a bit more fun.

It's not as pretty as CT Engineering's supercharger kit, but I like that it''s Carb legal.

Bringing the old thread back to life. I talked to Jackson Racing today and they said "We will be fitting the R18 kit on a 2012+ Civic soon, now that Hondata has a tuning solution available." They did not answer on what soon means exactly but I'm hoping a few months. This would be a great summer project.

 

[fnarmav]

Would this be too much for a automatic if it's released?

 

[Nix]

Nah, theres a few 8th gen R18s running the kit. However, trade in value plus the cost of this kit might make it the same price as trading up to an SI. Just something to really consider.
