Default Header?

I'm looking for a header for my B16 (with 2.0L stroker-kit). I like to take the DC 4-2-1 for the ITR, but some guys tell me, the skunk2 header is better. What do you think? Wich is the best header for a 2.0 L n/a B-series engine?

Why not?

The engine is made by Rikli motorsport in Switzerland. He builds a lot of Honda race-engines here in Europe.

Is the JDM 4-1 not only for peak power? I like more midrange power, the VW, Audi and BMW drivers over here laughs always about the torque of our engines and i like to show them, that B-series can have torque too .

If you want to show that a B series can have torque then spend the money on a turbo instead of a stroker kit.
Stroker kits = bad rod/stroke ratios and treaten the cylinder walls more at high RPM's.

The 4-1 makes power from 4000 up. Since when has anyone ever driven a Honda engine (while playing) under 4000 rpm????

Sure, with a turbo i can get more torque, but i don't like forced induction. I wanna stay n/a . I know that i not use to have torque like a 2.8 or 3.0 l engine, but a little bit wouldn't be bad.

It's not only a stroker kit, the whole block is modified (the cylinderwalls too)

Right, a Honda Engine under 4000 is a parked Honda

I'm not a big fan of stroking the 1.6, but no use arguing over it since you have it done already
But this is the way I figure: it's a honda, make your power the easiest way to makepower with a honda, rev the snot outta it I think the 4-1 is the way to go.
I'm not to informed on the stroker kits, but does your block have the deck height increased somehow? If so maybe you want to check for clearance issues with the header first.

ur not going to feel the difference in performance from the two..but if u like high reving a 4-1 header would be nice..otherwise 4-2-1 for lower to midrange
