You guys on this forum are a lot more responsive than "Tech" so thought I would rephrase my question about Headers:

Which header would be best in the bang for the buck category, given that SMSP may be the better overall?They look great and have great numbers but the sticker shock is there.

In other words, can we get 90% of the function for 40% of the price?


Also I have a built CRVTEC going into an '87 CRX Si so have severe clearance issues...

 

No. Maybe 60% at most.

 

SMSP/TODA/HYTECH
most likely I'll be either ordering SMSP or buying a Toda soon....haven't decided yet I need someone to SWAY my decision

 

SMSP's B20 header for your use would be the best IMO.

 

jdm 4-1 in my opinion. cant go wrong with oem.

 

other than the fact that its way too restrictive for even moderately modded 1.8s

 

is it really that bad? even for just I/H/E'd Teg's?

 

I/H/E is still classified as STOCK in my book.

 

From charts that I have seen the JDM 4-1 does just fine for what you pay for.

 

Sure you can, on a stock car at least...

 

honestly guys in your opinion what is the top 3 headers for an all motor Jun setup...in order starting with the best...I'm guessing it'll be
Hytech
SMSP
Toda

 

I guess you didnt see the B20/VTEC part eh?????


Pinhead: SMS, Toda, Hytech

 

That I did not.

 

So what make you guys think the Toda header is good for B20/VTEC set up? Is there a dyno graph somewhere? I know the Hytech and SMSP are proven to be awesome on the B20/VTEC set up, but never see any Toda header data on it.

 

for b20vtec i would ONLY go SMSP. Nothing else

 

How about large cams set up with B18C5?
I would say between Toda, SMSP, and Hytech? Which of the 3 will give best ground clearance? I am sick and tired of having my header dented big time!!

 

SMSP again
the only one to give you the best performance AND the best ground clearance.
of course, you'll have to ditch the silly block brace

 

for the $$, JDM 4-1

 

:shakes head:

Will

 

Naw....Dave recently came up with a new vers. did he not, so ITR owners can keep the brace on if they wish....

I'm still waiting for SS ones, it's a race between Type-One and SMSP.....!! Somebody make me a HEADER!

 

Gee, in the Great Header test I thought that the Spoon header actually measured the most area under the curve! I'm not saying it is the best header out there but come on guys, don't you think it deserves mentioning?

Regards,

 

Quote for b20 header plus modded oil pan (Moroso ) is $1400! Still seems high when a Portflow head with all the goodies is less than that. Pics look good tho.The donor CRX was only $200!!!!!!

I can not get a read on the fit yet without the Moroso pan, would I be dragging on the ground with Ground Control coilovers and Tokico Illuminas???

Also, what about tacking on a muffler so I could be in the technically street legal category??

 

lol....... no. but the same goes for the toda header imo

 

Man there sure are alot of SMSP/HyTech snobs around here!

 

think what you want, but i only buy products that work the best.
and being that they are pretty close in price, i dont see why you would
choose the one that makes less power.
