Headers for the B16a?

[JDM_GUY]

Looking into a header for the B16a, already dynoed and got 135HP with 98TQ bone stock with 3" custom short ram with K&N filter.

There a number of headers on the market. Looking to spend $2000 TT

choices are:

Not sure of the prices, but this is what is recommended for B16As

my 2cts
$2000 for a header .. gain 5-10 max

put a ad and get a B18c block
or add the $2k to the sale of your engine

a header is a good as the other parts in the engine


and if your short ram is pulling hot air .. loss of HP there also


when I had a stock b16 only mods I ever did was

port match S2k TB ,, with CAI
2 1/4 exhaust
and u can ask Jason how it performed

if nothing internal is changed .. external parts not gonna give you any big gains....

We are now the Skunk2 dealers

[speedfreak44]

if u are going with ebay 4-1 headers with ur ride height u will hurt urself...

[JDM_GUY]

speedfreak44, i thought about it and decided not to. I will get a 4-2-1 or a 4-2-2-1

try dat

[speedfreak44]

after market headers compared to using itr 98spec headers on b16, which is more worth it?

[red_dragon]

^ Some say u loose low down with the B18 header on a B16

[speedfreak44]

low down torque u meant?

[red_dragon]

^ correct
but never tried myself
2 reasons


the b - pipe is longer than a B16 and collector is bigger than a b16a

[speedfreak44]

we wont low torque on a b16 .. makes sense

recalled paz saying that ebay headers make the bess dyno charts for him

[red_dragon]

^ yes it would

doh know bout Paz and his stuff

but remember different headers perform different with different part combos..

put down the entire build u thinkin bout and see what works bets

Is a B-series.. not much was untested.. why reinvent

for 3500tt you could slap in type r pistons... and u might still have change, or even a good ported flow head, and ebay headers might show much better gains

[JDM_GUY]

But if I buy the header and then put the pistons and port the head i will get bigger gains.

[speedfreak44]

u looking to spend 9gs for a 30hp increase if so much?

Mo

[red_dragon]

^ nada .. cause you wastin it any way

what we all try to say u not gonna get big gains check some of the links i posted here
and see the kinda coin peeps put out and the gains they got NA

note .. up to now no one locally can say they got 200 on a small budget
only 2 i kinda know of and they ended up going boost for the same price they spent NA

got hytec repls on a old b20 build, 10hp 300us

[JDM_GUY]

Was told the hytec rep are not meant for b16a and I wouldn't gain any HP

[speedfreak44]

the tri-y header is proven a greater gain... 20hp in some cases,
but all u keep saying is headers, u need to get a header, whether ebay or not and tune to achieve gain with whatever is added... makes no sense just looking for a header for internet based gains, need to work and tune with what u have.

instant 30whp, $4k more than what youd pay for a decent header

AND you can sell back your current head and block and offset the cost
