Edelbrock Performance Parts

The best Edelbrock parts in this collection depend on your car: the Stage 1 Street supercharger kit for 2012-2019 FR-S, BRZ, and GT86 2.0L cars, the Performer X intake manifold for Honda SOHC VTEC D16Z6 engines, a bypass actuator kit for 2013-2016 FR-S, 2013-2020 BRZ, and 2017-2020 86, and a 60 HP wet nitrous system for 2002-2005 WRX. Check your year and model carefully, because each part here fits a different platform.

Edelbrock's catalog here spans three kinds of power parts: intake airflow, forced induction, and nitrous. A supercharger adds boost full-time, an intake manifold reshapes how a naturally aspirated engine breathes, and a wet nitrous system adds power on demand. The tuning and install effort differ a lot, so pick by how you use the car.

For background on airflow upgrades, read our explainer on the differences between intake systems, and browse intake manifolds for more options like the Performer X.

Edelbrock is an American performance brand best known for intake manifolds, carburetors, and complete supercharger systems built as engineered kits rather than collections of loose parts. The Stage 1 Street kit sampled here follows that pattern for the FR-S, BRZ, and GT86, and the bypass actuator kit supports the same supercharged platform. Its Performer X manifold shows the other side of the range: a bolt-on intake for Honda's D16Z6 SOHC VTEC engine.

Jackson Racing is the natural comparison for the supercharger kit, with its own supercharger systems and cooling kits for the FR-S and BRZ sampled in our store. Both brands sell forced induction as a complete package for the 86 platform, so compare what each kit includes and how it is tuned before choosing. Either route is a serious build step, not a weekend bolt-on.

Nitrous Express represents the alternative power-adder path taken by the Edelbrock wet system in this collection, which is titled at 60 HP for 2002-2005 WRX. Nitrous adds power only when armed and spraying, which suits occasional use, but it demands careful setup and tuning. Compare the ongoing cost and complexity against a permanent boost setup before committing.

Start with the two published listings: the Edelbrock Stage 1 supercharger street kit and the Edelbrock wet nitrous system for 2002-2005 WRX. The manifold and actuator listings are unpublished in our sample, so contact us about availability.

Does the Edelbrock supercharger kit need a tune?

Forced induction changes airflow and fueling completely, so tuning is required. The sampled kit's product name references a tuner version; confirm exactly what tuning is included for your car before ordering.

How difficult is a supercharger or nitrous install?

Both are advanced installs involving fueling, plumbing, and calibration, well beyond a simple bolt-on. Most owners should plan on professional installation and tuning, and budget for supporting maintenance first.

Will the Performer X manifold fit my Honda?

The listing names the Honda SOHC VTEC D16Z6 engine specifically. It is not a universal manifold, so check your engine code and year and model before ordering.

Is a 60 HP wet nitrous system safe for a stock 2002-2005 WRX?

The kit is titled for that application at 60 HP, but nitrous safety depends on correct jetting, fuel supply, and tuning. Have the system set up and verified by an experienced tuner rather than guessing at settings.
