i have recently bought an an-r compact header,and am trying to fit it to my b16..trouble is it does not fit..it hits on the steel bracket next to the sump and hits the power steering bottom bolt/body of p/steering pump.i have tried moving the pump to its highest level and it still hits and even if it did not,i would not be able to adjust the belt as its at its top level...i thought they were supposed to clear all this..fitment is real bad..it looks like the only way to fit is have no power steering/which is a no as drive everyday..or smash the pipe in to like half the size it should be...and then it probably wony work very well..??advice despratelty needed..thanks..

 

wrong forum

 

why is it wrong forum my car has a supercharger??any advice

 

Got a pic by chance? You may be able to "trim" your bracket to allow better fitment. It seems you have "issues" with it, but all is not lost.

 

i have managed to fit the header to the block,with a bolt in each hole on the flange..i was thinking as the bottom power steering casing is sitting on the header tube,could i cut the pipe out on the welds you have done and re tig a new pipe the same in,but have the pipe bent with more of an angle on it so it clears the p/steering bolt/body..would the header still work well if this was done..as i cant see any way round it,unless the pipe is smashed in quiet a bit..and i dont think i really want to do that..
