The Jackson Racing GR86/BRZ Supercharger System is engineered to add serious forced-induction performance to the second-generation Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ while maintaining the balance, drivability, and everyday usability that make the platform so good in the first place. Built around a patented Rotrex C38-81 supercharger, this system delivers a smooth, linear increase in power across the RPM range instead of completely changing the character of the car.

Jackson Racing developed this kit with a focus on OEM-level reliability, clean integration, and real-world performance. The system is designed to provide up to a 40% increase in power over stock, using CNC-machined aluminum brackets, a single belt drive system, a front-mount air-to-air intercooler, mandrel-bent aluminum piping, and a blow-through MAF design for proper calibration and factory-like drivability.

Key Features

• Rotrex C38-81 Supercharger: Patented traction drive supercharger delivers smooth, linear power with quiet operation.
• Up to 40% More Power: Designed to significantly increase output while preserving the balanced feel of the GR86/BRZ chassis.
• OEM-Level Integration: Engineered for reliability, drivability, and clean fitment.
• Single Belt Drive System: Simple serpentine belt routing uses OEM tensioner and components for quiet, reliable operation.
• Front-Mount Intercooler System: Powder-coated air-to-air intercooler with precision-engineered mounting brackets.
• No Cutting or Welding: Complete bolt-on system with no grinding, cutting, drilling, tapping, or welding required.
• Blow-Through MAF Design: Jackson Racing’s proprietary setup supports accurate MAF readings and seamless power delivery.
• CNC-Machined Aluminum Components: Billet 6061 aluminum brackets and black anodized components for strength and durability.
• Rotrex Self-Contained Oiling System: Includes a high-quality Setrab oil cooler for the traction drive system.
• Full Support Package: Includes high-quality metric hardware and a full-color installation manual.

Why We Like It

This is one of the cleanest ways to add meaningful power to the second-gen GR86/BRZ without losing what makes the car special. The Rotrex setup gives the FA24 a smooth, naturally progressive powerband instead of a sudden hit, which fits the chassis perfectly. Jackson Racing also has a long history with Rotrex supercharger systems, making this a strong option for owners who care about reliability, drivability, and proper integration as much as power.
