Header problem (99 si swapped gsr)
Ok I was reading a on headers where a guy has swapped a gsr in his ex and is having trouble finding a header, ok here is my problem, I have a 99 Si and bought a header from ebay 4-1 (no bashing,lol) and it was for "all B series engines" ok well It hooked up fine to my B16A2 and cleared everything, but now that I have swapped in a GSR engine it will not clear my oil pan, the runners are to short and just seems overall that the header alone is to short, So what do I do, Iam kinda weiry about buying any "will fit ALL B series headers" deals now so what should i do, I have been looking at the JVTR " will fit all B series" 4-1 headers or the meagan 4-1 header... but i am having trouble deciding (yeah a tri-y i will get later on down the road but for now,lol) thanks for any help
here is a link to the JVTR header i was looking at http://www.erzperformance.com/...r.htm

Re: (HondaBlock)
The GSR head (P72) is taller than the B16 head (PR3).
If you get something like a Rage or Hytech Tri-Y header, it is made for both. If I wasn't dark outside, I would take a pic of mine and show you.
When I bolted mine up, there is a decent amount of space left between the collector and the oil pan on my LS/VTEC setup with a B16 head.

Re: (94eh2)
no it wasn't the mounting bracket with the two bolt holes, it was like the runners coming out of the exhaust ports were to short and where they turn at a 90 degree radius it hit the oil pan? wtf you know but it fit fine on my B16 plus i got it off of ebay but the ebay seller advertized it would fit"ALL b series engines"

PFFFFFT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Dumb. ***. The difference is NOT in the head, it's in the block. The B16A, NOT B, but A has a shorter deck height than all of the B series motors(not sure about the B17). A header made for a B16A with not fit a LS/B20/GSR/ITR/CTR block.

Re: (HondaBlock)
You can buy any GSR header and it will fit your GSR motor. But it has to be GSR specific only. If you are on a budget do a search for strup headers, you can get one from GIG Marketing for like $180 shipped. They are quality made and look really nice.
