I have been wondering and searching for some time now..and have come to a dead end..
Does anyone know (before I go tearing into things myself to find out) if the D16a8 DOHC "ZC" intake manifold is interchangeable with any other d series intake manifold?
i.e.- Y8, Z6, Skunk2, etc,...anything..???

If anyone has done an intake manifold swap or modification of another manifold to fit (the correct way.. no jank **** please)

I am really interested to see if the skunk2 will fit in any way..

I was told that the a8 mani is a loner and cannot be interchanged with anything.. please enlighten me..

Thanks for any information..

 

you need he zspeed adapter in order to use any sohc d-series intake manifold.

 

if its dohc zc for shure than there are a few manifold options 1 is 86-87 teg double throttle (rare)great for tq plus you can bore out the small chamber to make it total size bigger than the single throttle, 2 is jdm zc 86-87 manifold uses the same throttle body but the best plentium for the airflow then 3 is usdm 86-89 single trottle manifolds 88-89 being the biggest plentium, but if you have a jdm 88-93 blacktop zc its the best for top end hp. but if you play with som of these rare double throttle zc manifold you get a much nicer street motor wth low end. good luck!

As far as everything that you have just stated... How sure are you that any one of those are interchangeable with a Euro a8 Rover 416 motor? I would assume that you are correct and that the a8 utilizes the same intake manifold as the a9 zc, but I never was really one for assuming..

 

dudes right just buy a singlecam adaptor from zcspeed and buy u goos sinlgecam mani.them plates are close to 200 bucks plus the cost of the manifold u choose.have u tried searching for a 89 tegg mani.i also got the rover engine bvut still have the stock mani cause i didnt want to buy the adaptor plate just for a mani change.

 

Actually the ZCspeed sohc to dohc manifold adapter is on close out for $100. Get'em before they are gone.

 

ahhhh! so there droping in price.i remeber ba.ck in the day when they frist came out

 

http://www.zcspeed.com/adapterpage.htm there is the link that I found. Im most likely going to go that route... not for sure yet, but seems the way to go..
