I just installed this header on my type r. I know toda header has good ground clearance, but this looks a little too good. I'm a bit worried. It seemed to be very close to my oil pan. The pics are kinda dark. Is this toda header for a b18c5 or a b16a? I had a jdm type R header before and it sat much lower. My exhaust had good clearance from the shift linkage before, but with the toda header it sits about 1/2 inch away from the shift linkage.

Shouldn't you have known this before putting it on the car? I am assuming you bought the piece used, how did the seller advertise it?

 

I spy a T1R test pipe

 

i was told it was for a b18 motor. Yes that is a t1r test pipe. If you want it might be for sale. Can someone please answer the question.

 

Arent they the same anyway? The Toda header has GREAT clearance, perhaps better than OEM.

 

that's my jdm itr header in the background also. Man i need to check my surrounding before i take pic. I know the pics are crappy.

I really hope so that is why i'm asking. If not i'm going to have to give them to my bro to put on his b16 Does anyone have this header on their type r? Does the clearance look like mine.

 

Thanks for the offer, but i am using a Toda Header and T1R application mahself.

 

toda header comes in b16b and b18c versions. since these are both long blocks, ground clearance should be the same with either version. the only way to know which is which is to measure the diameter of your header secondary pipes, b16b = 48mm, b18c = 50mm

 

1: the set up looks the way it shoud.
2: work on your pictures a little bit before posting, it's an eye sore every time you have to scroll to the right for any picture

 

how do i measure the secondary pipe? I'm willing to do it tonight.

 

my old B16A! had two o2 sensors on the header but the B18C6 has only one o2 sensor on the header.
dont know if it is the same deal on the US cars

 

because of your pics, i am now MORE convinced than ever that i will upgrade to the TODA just because of the ground clearance. if you guys saw my driveway, you'd know why. i always knew it was good before, but damn, that is reaaallly excellent clearance

 

If the shift linkage does not touch the header, or any has no contact with anything at all, then your clearance should be fine-It depends on where you got it from also, whether individual or direct sales. Nice headers btw.

 

The header has the best clearance i have seen. I was really scared because it looked like it had a little too much clearance i though i had a b16 header. If it is in fact a b18 header the oil pan will get dented before the header. I measured the secondary pipe like someone stated and the diameter was about 16.5cm. Does that help? I'm still trying to find out how i can the tell difference between the b16 and b18 toda header. I have read that the toda header is a night and day difference compared to the jdm itr 4-1 header and since i have switched i can not feel a difference on the butt dyno It feels the same.

 

Not a good pic, but thats my TODA header.

Thanks for the pic, i think mine sits higher i have to check again. Can you tell me for sure what is the difference between the 16a toda header and the b18c? Is there really a difference.

 

that toda header is for the b18a!!!!!!!! sell it now!!

yeah i'll take it off your hands for the cost of shipping.. you dont wanna use that thing!

 

i took the pics down because they were not that clear. I will get some more later. I really don't see the hype with the toda header i could not feel the difference.

 

*** dyno is nothing.
