So anyone tried these adapters. Would it be worth putting a skunk2 or after market IM on?

An aftermarket intake manifold on a Dseries doesnt help but like 2hp, the flow on a stock on is just as good, why waste $200. Imo.

ok thanks

unless your head is ported to shit and you have some badass cams, an aftermarket IM isnt going to help much. plus you will be in about $350 after the adapter and IM...

spend that money on an n20 kit instead

I'm gonna have to third the motion. Don't get an aftermarket IM unless you have a buit engine/turbo plans, because it won't really do much o a stock engine and tune.

let me chime in here since we are the ones selling the adapter - we came up with the adapter after numerous questions regarding how to install a SOHC Jackson Racing Supercharger on a DOHC ZC - the JRSC for the ZC is no longer available, but is available for the SOHC engines and this adapter lets you use the SOHC JRSC on the DOHC ZC - we also had requests from people that had mildly built engines with different camshafts and wanted to use an aftermarket (like Skunk2) or D16Y8 intake manifold and a larger throttle body like a B-series - these throttle bodies will not fit the DOHC ZC intake manifold - if you are swapping to larger camshafts, you will more than likely benefit from a larger throttle body which means you will need a different manifold - on a stock fuel injected DOHC ZC engine, you can't improve on the stock intake manifold and adding a different manifold with the adapter won't help you out - will probably hurt more than help

guess ill just bore the stock TB out on my dohc zc

unless you have internal mods, boring out the stock throttle body isn't going to help anything - if anything it will hurt your performance

i was just referring to when i get cams , ect.

yes, then it will help a bunch, but not on a stock engine

I was wondering when someone would start making these. Looks like a nice piece and the price really isn't bad.

 

[nos_zc_36579]

yes i am very surprised at the price

If you get cams and bore the T/B then it would be a good idea to retune the fuel maps to accommodate the extra air you'll be putting into the engine...

I ran something very similar to this on my ZC with a d16a6 JRSC kit. It worked out really well.
