So, I have a D16Z6 in my Del Sol. Whenever I get around to it, I want to build a new engine for my car (new to my car). I might just do another D16 to keep it easy for my first build but that's not really important for my question.

My question is can you use an intake manifold for a turbo as the intake for a supercharger? To clarify, I don't want to install a turbo and a supercharger together. I just want to use a intake manifold that is intended for a turbo with a supercharger. That is the question.

I know Jackson Racing made a supercharger kit for D16 engines but that'a long since been out of production. I've only seen one ever come up for sale on ebay, therefor its most likely that it won't still be available for whenever I have the money to build a new engine. Other than that, I'd imagine the only other way to get an intake manifold to mount to a supercharger to a D16 would be to make one myself, or pay for someone else to make one for me.

 

JRSC has a specific manifold for their supercharger that must be used. And on turbo setups, the intake manifold is pretty much whatever you want for your application. To my knowledge there is no turbo specific intake manifold. I believe the only supercharger that can be used with any standard intake manifold is a procharger becuase the supercharger isnt mounted directly to the engine.

 

So an Eaton supercharger, this one to be specific, can be mounted to this type of intake manifold?

 

No, that looks to need to be mounted to a specific intake manifold. It looks very similar to the JRSC setup. Those four bolt locations would be what bolts to the intake manifold made for that type of supercharger. I could be wrong, but any kind of roots style supercharger would need a specific intake manifold to bolt up to the motor.

the second link is an exhaust manifold for the turbo to mount to.
