Default Jackson Supercharger Question?

Will a Jackson Supercharger made for a B18C5 (GSR) fit on a B18B1 (LS)? Any help on this would be great.

a gsr has a b18c1. b18c5 was in the usdm itr. and no, a supercharger made for the b18c1 will not fit a b18b1.

hate to hear it, is the only diff. the intake bolt pattern?? if so you could always cut the ports off and reweld them on the jackson manifold. just thinking out of the box here. i assume you know someone or found a deal on one for the itr and hoped it would fit yours. been there and thought it too!

#1: It won't fit.

#2: Supercharger power gains on b18b1 engines are frankly, unimpressive. Turbo is a better choice all around, imho. If you want low end power go small on the turbo.

cool, when you say it wont fit though, is it just because of the intake manifold? i.e. bolt pattern, port size etc...
