Jackson Racing & 949 Racing @ MRLS
Jackson Racing Attending Miatas at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca | Jackson Racing
Follow the link for the full press release. We will also have two cars there with modified race versions of the new CARB legal Rotrex supercharger they are showcasing at the event. Our well know bright orange 95R, now renamed Deviate, will be one of the cars giving ride alongs. Price, specs, ETA are all TBD and I don't have that info yet (Blow up their phone). We will offer the kits when they hit the market, early next year I think. BTW, they already have the CARB EO
The Jackson have an NA6 set up as a daily driver also giving ride alongs. We purposely kept this car mild to more like a typical customer car. The Rotrex supercharger kit in it is pretty much what the production kit will be, it also has the only set of Tecnas currently in existence, stock sway bars and I think Dunlop DZ2's.
We have spent a lot of time together discussing various new products beyond the supercharger kits, sharing ideas and resources. They have some very cool stuff coming next year!

We will release more info on the kit as we get closer to product launch.
It is an intercooled Rotrex kit with piggy back engine management. It's sound like they expect to begin shipping kits early next year sometime. Major components are all dialed and ready. Dialing in piping, bracketry etc, then gearing up production over the next few months. Understand, this announcement is not a product release. Just letting everyone know that:
A) They'll be at MRLS
B) They'll have a pre-production CARB legal Rotrex supercharged Miata there to give folks rides in

Cool, glad to see Rotrex kits again... I remember hearing about this a while ago but figured it had died out. Maybe a dumb question (FI noob here), but are there going to be kits compatible with standalone ECUs available?

I did with the race kit on 95R... As there were a long list of people trying to get ride-alongs they were only doing two laps.
In summary.. Power... Everywhere..! With the 6 speed/3.9 combo (corrected per Emilio's post below) you can pretty much go around the track in 5th gear and do it at a very fast clip too - turn 1 is an actual turn in this car. It just goes and has a super seamless power delivery; just feels like a much bigger engined car. Even sounds like a N/A engine too. Very very impressive..

I really wanna see what the cost is going to be. If I can have a reliable 190-210whp with a nice torque curve that is CARB legal, easy to install, and cheaper than 3 grand I will be very happy.

One can hope I suppose. For me, if they come out with a kit that fits my specs above for less than 3k, I will buy as soon as it comes out. Less than 4k, probably still buy. More than 4k would be a hard sell.
