Yeah i dont know a whole lot about what im getting myself into but a friend of mine has a z6 and its fun as hell to drive so just as long as u can tell me what I need to do then im game. btw I need a obd1 ecu and will probably want an intake mani/tb off of a y8 correct? And are you saying my wireing harness will work? I thought I read somewhere that I need a new one. And do I need a knock sensor as well?

i dont want to thread jack his thread but
to swap a d16z6 in your car(my suggestion) you would need z6 motor, y8 dizzy(or z6 with a jumper), a p28 ecu with a obd2a to obd1 jumper harness, and also either a z6 im or a y8. then all you have to do is run the 2 vtec wires to the ecu. and ground the other wire.

So it's been awhile since I have updated about the car. As many of you can tell by my FS thread, I was able to sell the z6 head and other parts.
The reason I was selling everything was because someone on CC had a killer deal on a JRSC for the d series. It's something like $575 shipped. After selling most everything, I would only have to shell out an extra $100 for the complete set-up. The deal is pending right now since he said he would rather do a local deal and not mess with paypal/shipping. oh well. We'll see what happens with that.
If the deal doesn't go through, I now have some extra cash to play around with. I am thinking I would get a new clutch/flywheel, or get a bunch of small little things like a new oil pan (the threads for the drain bolt are kinda stripped on my current one), possibly a wink mirror, anti-glare cover for my DD headunit, etc etc. Or I could be boring and say I will spend it on Christmas gifts for others. lol

I seen your post on the supercharger and hell yeah that was one hell of a deal, I hope you get it
^^ Thanks Nike. I assumed you saw the SC on that site. I am battling a guy who is local and planning on giving him $600 cash. So I offered $615 paypal'd etc. And he said he wants to wait for the local guy in a week. This all happened yesterday.
Today, he is telling me that some friends of the local guy who wants to give him cash is sometimes flaky when it comes to stuff like this. Regardless, the SC guy (who is selling it), PM'd me and said if I can do $650 paypal'd. He would sell it immediately. Either way I look at it, it's a steal since d16 superchargers (complete kit) go for at least $900 (since they are now discontinued). Anyone think I should wait it out and take a chance for the local guy to come through, or should I say "F- it, and buy it for $650".

Well, I went ahead and bought the SC. I was thinking about how I wanted the SC to look in the engine bay. I will have my valve cover painted black with the "Honda" sign polished. I was thinking about do the same thing on the jrsc. Painting the manifold and leaving the "Jackson Racing Superchargers" lettering polished. Anyone think black wrinkle paint (instead of a semi-gloss black) would look better? I'm not even sure if the wrinkle black paint is high temp.
At 7 psi, I am hoping to be around 170-180 whp or so. More than enough for daily driving. Remember, I also have the stage 2 camshaft installed, so I am thinking as soon as the SC loses it effectiveness at around 4,000 rpms, the camshaft power with start to come out.
I should also be able to run the stock injectors, stock clutch and all that until I get a little more money. The first thing I will be upgrading the clutch, then a header, and finally injectors/re-tune. I am thinking 410cc RC's, or something simple like Acura MDX 440cc injectors. Anyone else have any other suggestions?
Pics will be up when the SC comes in.
