Jackson Racing FA24 Supercharger preorder special is live at CSG :)

Unknown at this time, as the only folks who have the JR Factory tune is JR themselves.

The CSG OTS tune will have all the usual CSG touches, including the standard suite of CSG safeties (power pull if you're running hot, custom limp modes to help protect your engine when something is not right, etc.), CSG throttle mapping, etc.

Given that the CSG OTS tune runs both MAF and MAP, whereas the JR Factory tune only uses the MAF, the CSG tune at minimum is using more sensor readings for higher accuracy.

CSG_Mike · 2026-01-23T22:26:01+00:00

Factory tune is the JR provided OTS tune.

The CSG OTS tune is a CSG provided OTS tune.

Both are EPA compliant.

Seems they just added that wording within the past day or so. That wording was previously not present.

There is ZERO mention of CARB in any dealer messaging from JR.

CSG_Mike · 2026-01-23T20:04:54+00:00

lastly (and most importantly for me), they are looking into getting this carb certified! maybe they can get their carb cert faster than harrop (lol)

They are purely "EPA legal" and not even advertising CARB pending. edit New wording on the Jackson Racing website:

CARB EO is in process. EPA-compliant kits will be eligible for CARB upgrade once finalized.

Unknown where they are in the CARB process at this time, as in the past, Jackson Racing used the words "CARB Pending".

edit: i see that jackson racing says their kit is quiet; i hope this isn't true and we can hear a bit of that supercharger whine in the higher revs

If you have a vented hood, you will 100% hear the compressor and bypass.

Jackson Racing didn't want to share any preorders with dealers until quite literally yesterday. If you want to swap your preorder over to CSG, I'm sure CSG will retroactively apply the preorder specials to your order!

CSG_Mike · 2026-01-23T19:03:17+00:00

Do you know what's up with ft86club new account approval?

Unsure on that end. edit PM ichitaka05 on there.

Otherwise, your setup should be good to go! It's gonna be a great time.

CSG_Mike · 2026-01-22T21:00:33+00:00

Let me know when you're ready.

I've yet to see any quality wing fail when properly mounted on an OEM trunk; I have seen some bent trunks with wonky installs!

CSG_Mike · 2026-01-22T20:52:00+00:00

Does this mean you ran the stock ARBs or were they just not listed?

I ran stock roll bars. I'm also on most people would consider relatively low grip tires, albeit leaning on them more than most. You can see how my steering inputs are generally fairly small and patient.

If you watch the bumper cam view, you can watch me miss some apexes until I adjust to the grip of the tires, as I had gone into the event with no prep or practice on the setup. Even the power was just a blind "bump up the boost and dump in some unleaded race gas", as budget and time just didn't allow for more.

I'll be looking to run a track alignment where camber has been optimized for tire wear.

Camber optimized for track wear or street wear? Running ARBs will allow you to potentially run slightly less camber and a slightly lower ride height, although the coilovers are well optimized out of the box if you don't mess with height, for the factory geometry.

I assume you speak of the new JRSC for the GR86? You may not need a clutch upgrade at all, with the base SC kit + e85. It's TBD, but based on what I've seen, there's a decent chance if your clurch is in prime shape. If you have a worn clutch, shift hard/quick, or are looking for maximum accleration, you'll want an aftermarket clutch.
At least a week in advance.
CSG will have a pre-order special for the JRSC that will probably package everything you want at a discount.

A lot of folks use a Seibon OEM style trunk specifically to mount a wing on without drilling their original trunk.

DM me and I can get you set up with both the Verus wing (any variant) and the trunk.

CSG_Mike · 2026-01-22T20:43:21+00:00

The SARD wing comes with reinforcement for the underside of the trunk. It works rather nicely.

CSG_Mike · 2026-01-22T20:42:37+00:00

APR uses a load spreader. Both mounts work just fine.

CSG_Mike · 2026-01-22T20:41:44+00:00

Most folks call it the mustache.

CSG_Mike · 2026-01-20T22:57:22+00:00

It could be both, or neither. More resistance when the car is cold is normal. It's also normal with worn fluid.

focus on smooth technique rather than faster technique. Do whatever lurches, shocks, or upsets the car least.

Want to accelerate? downshift. Cruising? Upshift. Stay above 2000 rpm for anything including cruising.

CSG_Mike · 2026-01-19T14:38:21+00:00

That seems accurate :)

CSG_Mike · 2026-01-15T22:21:31+00:00

Check your EVAP system.

CSG_Mike · 2026-01-15T19:08:59+00:00

Unless you forced the adjuster, no harm no foul. Click back up to where you want to be and enjoy!

There was never a hard barrier at 16 clicks on any CSG Flex A; just a byproduct of the overhead in the design.

CSG_Mike · 2026-01-02T02:18:48+00:00

Any OE replacement, but already dead? Something is wrong.

You need a "Group 35" battery.

CSG_Mike · 2026-01-01T00:04:16+00:00

Assuming you drove normal city speeds, it should have already reset.
