Honda K-Series Supercharger Manifolds – MercRacing


My interest in supercharging stated when I was implementing a Jackson Racing M62 (DC5 Manifold) in my K20A2 powered classic mini build back in 2008. I created a 3D model of the JRSC branded Eaton M62 supercharger and manifold. At the same time a company called Redshift were working on a manifold design for the K-Series engines, however they ran out of steam on the project. Jose at MercRacing bought the design from them and approached me to help him finalise the design pre-production. I took the model, refined it in places and created the necessary casting and machining drawings and there was born MercRacing’s first air to air (A2A) modular supercharger manifold. It’s design was modular to allow many different supercharger units to be used, also requiring various throttle body to supercharger inlets to go with the kits.


A couple of years later Jose approached me about designing another modular system for the K-series engines, this time the main requirement was to have it either uncooled (low psi) or water to air (W2A) chargecooled, along with the need to fit under the hood/bonnet of an Acura RSX/Honda Integra DC5, without modification to the vehicle. Again, the modular side of the design was to allow various size and make of supercharger to be fitted to the manifold, ranging from the classic JR M62, Comptech M62, Harrop HTV900 right up to a Harrop HTV2300. The design has proved hugely popular, finding it’s way into not only Honda cars but into Grass Track Race cars, Fiat X1/9’s and classic mini’s to name but a few….
