Is the an-r h series header only made for 4th gen prelude? Is there a way to put it on a 5th gen?

 

you can certainly put it in a 5th gen, but most likely, just like in the 4th, you will have to notch the crossmember...

 

I Asked this question before but the thread kind of got sidtracked...If i put this header on will i see more gains then having like a dc sport header because my engine is not built? One more question is do you think it is safe to get new cams injectors ect with this car being my daily driver? One more thing..on the website it says it wont clear the factory a/c condensor...how do you solve that problem without taking the a/c out?

 

it says it wont clear the condensor for a 5th gen prelude?? if so, youre SOL....you cant do anything about that

you will be fine daily driving with cams and injectors

yes this header will make more power than the dc...by far...

 

Actually it says that about the Swap in 92+ Civic and 94+ Accord chassis. On their website they dont even say it fits a 5th gen lude.

 

How will it not clear the condenser?.......

Isn't that in FRONT of the radiator?.......

or do you mean it won't clear the radiator?..........or maybe the AC lines?........

or did you mean compressor some how?.........

How are the 5th gen ludes setup? - is the condenser in back of the radiator?

 

haha this is exactly wha it says on their website......

But do you know if the condenser is in front of the radiator? I'm trying to figure out how the hell a header couldn't clear the condenser?......Thats fucked up......someone with a 5th gen please confirm the location of the condenser.

 

nah, your right.. the condenser is in the front.. well thats just stoopid.. why would it not clear the condenser??

 

haha i dont know man but i emailed them to make sure everything checks out. But i think this is the header im going to go with

 

let us know what they say im curious

 

One more thing is i read you have to grind the crossmember and i think mgags just mentioned that too...i also read that its real expensive to do that. How expensive is it?...does it really pay then to get this header?

 

anyone.....^^^^^ oh yeah by the way anr got back to me and said they currently do not have a header for the 97+ prelude???????

 

Grind the crossmember yourself. Then it won't be expensive. Just take your time.

haha i dont know how to do that...still pretty new to all this stuff i dont want to mess anything up just yet haha so a price would be good?

 

grinding it down isnt hard, just mark where you need to cut and go to town...

my brother has a header-wrapped an-r for sale...were gonna put it up in the next week, contact me if you want it...

Yeah i saw that in another one of his posts....emailed him last night and havent heard from him so if you could just give him the heads up that i e-mailed him if he doesnt see this first.

thanks,

Id suggest buying a header that was made for the car. Get a nice custom made peice or RMF or dont bother.

 

arent the 4th and 5th gen crossmembers the same?

 

kteller lowered their price for the rage header.

So will the kteller fit with no problem or is it the same as the an-r? I have a 5h gen prelude
