hey guys, was wondering if put lets say a competch s/c or vortech i can change the headers to anything right? its not like a turbo application where it has pretty much like its own exhaust mani's. for instance wtih a s/c i can put on a hytech header right?

 

right.

 

wow, i just barely understood what i was saying. i woke up like 10 minutes ago excuse my beautiful english. i meant to say, can i change the headers on the car to lets say a hytech one while i have the s/c on the car? what abotu intake mani? who makes the best one right now?

 

Damn! I so wanted to use this .........................

A supercharger would not affect the changeability of the header.
There's nothing wrong with the stock intake manifold. It's designed very well. Besides, I don't think anyone makes an aftermarket one for this car unless you want an adventure into ITBs, but a S/C with this would be a technical feat in itself.

 

sorry but waht do you mean by technical feat in itself? and sorry this may sound stupid but you know wiht a jrsc lets say for the prelude you can change the intake mani, can you put a cai with the comptech or vortech or lets say itb's? or is it not possible cuz something connects to that part of the motor? i know this may sound rediculously stupid but its ok i'll deal with that stupidity of it lol.

 

The "manifold" you are speaking of is actually a cold air intake, and not a manifold. A manifold is the actual part on top of the engine that the throtle body sits in and connects to the head.

 

I think you need to understand what a supercharger actually is.

It's a crank driven device that forces air into the intake manifold. It has nothing to do with the exhaust side so what header you use is mechanically irrelevant.

The reason no one makes an alternative intake manifold for the S is that the stock one is so damn good. If someone made an alternative and it was the same basic dimensions as stock then you would have very little problem fitting it with the SC. Whether or not it would make any difference or not depends on the design but I suggest it would be minimal.

 

Yep, as already posted by others here, before you can start to discuss what is better and what is available, you need to do some homework and searching on this site. It seems as though you don't really understand what a supercharger is or what it does and you don't seem to have a clear idea of the difference between a Cold Air Intake and an intake manifold. By making the statement, "can you put a cai with the comptech or vortech", you just showed us you need to learn a lot more before asking more complex questions. Also, you had best find out what Independent Throttle Bodies are. Then you will know why it wouldn't be a simple matter to put Forced Induction through these.
We're not trying to be unkind. It's just that you have a responsibility to get the basics down before we provide answers that will only serve to confuse the issue even further.

 

well for one, you guys are a lot more polite than stupid h-t members i appreciate it but i do know what itb's are my friend had em on his s2k. and i know hwat cai is and intake mani kinda common sense, cai connects to the throttle body and the throttle body connects to the mani. i am saying iwht the prelude you can put a cai on the s/c. i am asking can you do that with a comptech or vortech s/c on the S or no? thats my question. with the itb's obvoiusly you can't put it on if you got a s/c but someone had told me you can go FI with itb's, i don't see that possible. i dono where you guys got the idea i dono what intake mani is and a cai is. you got the mani on the head right? then the throttle body on the mani and the intake connecting to the throttle body, pretty obvious when you just look at a motor. i installed my cai myself on my prelude but with the s/c for the prelude you can haev a CAI, my question is can you wiht a S/C on a s2k or no? and can you change the intake mani was the toher question but you guys said they are very well made so that question got answered. i dono if i didn't explain myself right the first time cuz i was dead sleepy when i wrote it up or you guys misunderstood what i meant or said or my knowledge. i am not being rude or saying it sarcastically dont take it the wrong way.

 

and i found my mistake, i used the wrong terms sorry.
