Start with this:











Then get yourself one of these:







And put her on baby!





Feels more responsive already.

Where do you notice your tq gains?

chad

nice shawn....i was actually gonna say you could add NAWZZZ too it....so how much did the header help?

shawnhayes

Seems better when the superchager kicks. Haven't been to the dyno yet.

Shawn

shawnhayes

SEEMS to help a lot so far. I guess I need to take it back to the dyno. But, I must admit, I'm not $75 interested in finding out how much it helped.

Shawn

chad

you should be.....adding that header could lean you out too much or richen it too much....i know you have air fuel meter but you can't really tell....and those things don't always work....

hey are you interested in some JDM RECAROS? 1150 plus shipping?

Pengo

looks good

anymore pics of your z10 under there? i was gonna buy one but i'm not sure if its gonna be worth the money.

shawnhayes

I know. What I really need is to get the Hondata tuned with a wideband O2 sensor, and get a race cat. But I'm a cheap ***.

Of course, but I don't have $1150 burning a hole in my pocket. My Corbeau's seem to do just fine. Besides, who wants to switch over rails anyway?

Shawn

shawnhayes

They're not. There's been a LOT of debate on whether they bind or not.

Take it from me: They do. When I jack the chassis up and the suspension goes to full down, and then I later put it back on it's wheels, I sometimes have to drive it to get it to "go down". The suspension will stick in the full extended configuration until I hit a hard bump.

Better design, and the black finish doesn't attract as much attention.

Can`t wait to compare numbers with you, Shawn

I thought you had an ls this whole time.

Ryan

shawnhayes

Nope GSR baby!

(Wish I had the Type R, though. But, it wasn't worth the extra $2200 it would have cost at the time. Heck, though, $2500 in supercharger later, I'm nearly up to Type-R numbers, and I have better gas mileage).

..and torque.

Nice dipstick, Stunna

i hear froma reliable source that u should only get traction bars if ur repeatedly popping axles.... is this tru?

crxrookie

nice install. the old headers were lookin like they needed to be replaced hey.

shawnhayes

I should have more torque than a type R, but I'm not so sure at this point.

I love that dipstick, dipstick.

Shawn

shawnhayes

Nope. Once you've popped an axle, you waited too long. Wheelhop is bad for the whole chassis, not just the axles. By that point, you've finally stressed it to the point that something broke. What else is "strained" at this point?

Shawn

vtecvoodoo

Uhhhhh you better, Dipstick.

shawnhayes

I have identical torque to a race modified B20 with a B16 VTEC head (pre-new header, mind you)

How's that?

(I need my own dyno).

vtecvoodoo

Then you have more than an ITR, which doesn`t have ****

shawnhayes

118.1 ft pounds to the wheels. - on a dynapack consistently 15% below comparable dynojets. (and that's pre new header) How's that compare to the ITR (I could look it up, but I'm interested in what you have on the subject).

Shawn

vtecvoodoo

You`re probably making about 18-20(?) more than your average i/h/e modded R. Not too shabby. Btw, I`m talking about torque.

chad

shawn....you didn't put down to 135 that night did you?

chad

shawn i put down 135 tq that night....tq that is....

vtecvoodoo a mod'd r put down 20X and 150 tq....toda b's and 2 layer headgastket....and other basic bolt ons...

WykidEH

vtecvoodoo
What set-up do you have? Power numbers?

shawnhayes
What's your set-up and power number?

Rigth now I'm in the prossess in biulding a GSR with J/R-S/C on it. . . . .

nitrous should help a little bit too...
