Just wondering if anyone here is using the JR VPAC on their Teg and how do you like it?

I'm considering getting one and would like some input.

I'm thinking about getting the VPAC and AEM adjustable feul pressure regulator. Current mods include:
-AEM cai
-DC 421 ceramic header
-DC SS catback
-Jacobs ICE pak.

 

hey how do u like the ice pack? does it actually work? i'm going to need more spark in the future, but i'm always researching!

 

ive got the ice pak also (not installed) --but where did you put everything??????

 

JINTEG- I remember responding to an old thread on the ice pak but I guess you never got it. anyway the main unit I could not find anywhere to install in the engine bay so I ended up bolting it up on the driver side floorboard as high as it could go. Actually its pretty cool there. Good conversation piece.

Juice- I definitely like the ice pak, I think it was a good investment. Unfortunately this was when I first started off and ended up buying it directly from Jacobs which cost me a **** load. Your car runs more efficiently and it definitely helps throughtout the the hold rpm band. More MPG to the gallon doesnt hurt.

 

thanks clemsongsr, how big is the unit anyway? there's got to be some place under the hood. maybe i would be better off mounting it in the passenger footwell, save room for the turbo

 

Jackson Racing = overpriced rebadged product

Just shell out the couple extra bucks and get a VAFC.

-EDIT-

Never mind, it is just as expensive as a VAFC. :doh:

 

i've got the JR VPAC. For one thing i was quite dissapointed when i received the thing and read that i could only turn vtec down to engage at 4000 when the dial goes all the way down to 2500. I was under the impression that it could go all the way down but it says you must have a turbo setup or supercharger to be able to engage it that low. I have it set to engage at 3800 right now and am not noticing any problems with it being at that point. The only other real problem for me was that it was a ***** to install because the little crimpers that they send you are a pain to work with because you can't get a good connection. But despite that i think it was a good buy and did notice performance gain, nothing major.

 

well I did have a vafc but ended up selling it. I had bought it used but never installed it because of the complexity of tuning. I dont have the knowledge to be able to fiddle around with the air/fuel, ect. I guess I would have to stick it on a dyno to get the best power throughout the rpm band.

That really sucks you can only use the vpac at 4000. But still its better than 5800-6000.

 

I remember responding to an old thread on the ice pak ahh. sorry about that..i remembered about 2 days after (long day at work) anyway...wouldnt the apexi vpac be comprble or better than the jackson? (or is that what you were speaking of)

 

Bump...

I would say the apexi is better because it has much better and more extensive tuning capabilities. And thus making it harder for someone like me to use due to lack of knowledge and resources in my area.

anymore opinions?
