Looking into getting new headers for my del sol d16z6. Wanted to know which set up would be best for my car 4-1 or 4-2-1?

 

4-1 are annoying as hell to find, but those are the ones I want.

 

check out raceinspired.com. that is where i found 4-1 headers for my car. http://www.raceinspired.com/p-842-dc...1993-1997.aspx made by DC Motorsports.

 

also I was wondering what companies make CARB legal intake manifolds ie Skunk2, OBX, Edlebrock? Any opinions on throttle body spacers and would a stock throttle body bolt up to an aftrmkt intake manifold? Anyone in the Sacramento/Davis area have any opinions on these businesses? Top Speed, or SMA?

 

^An afterarket intake mani or throttle body would be an absolute waste of money.

 

are you f'ing kidding me? skunk2 tb im's make the most power on any engine

 

^This is false.

 

not unless you are boosting it or doing high compression, it wont do you good

 

^Thank you. And even then, high compression is a reach. Bolt on's really only work on K series.

 

those bolt ons still help, they help more if theirs boost or even going all motor, but it will still help on a stock motor

 

in actuality it won't give you noticeable gains vs a stock car. but it is the standard, which I use also.

 

Yeah, all of 10 hp.

 

wow everyone is so negative about aftermkt intakes. thanks for the input i guess. so what about 4-1 or 4-2-1 headers? which would work best?

 

imo 4-2-1

 

Stock z6 header is ur best bet don't waste ur money on a header. if u want the car to go a little faster get a chipped Ecu cat back and cold air. done.

 

their negative about them because you have to boost to make any real power quick out of a litte D where as tb, im, and a "header" not header"s" bolted on a B makes good power and we don't have to be boosted to be quick, that's why when i had a d i blew it to pieces and swaped for the B for my very first swap

 

Only problem is that I do not have the stock header for the engine as i bought the car used with the pacesetter headers already installed. thank you for your input on TB's b20hatchek.

 

4-2-1 FTW

 

dude b20 what are you smoking? those $700 parts you're talking about will give you about 10whp, lmao.

 

OP: get an eBay header or go to your local shop and buy one for less than a hundo, those will suffice.

 

its not 700 bux, its a little bit more haha, and maby 10hp on a d but ive seen more on gsr's and type r motors

 

later on down the road i am hoping to do a B18C1 swap, though I have never swapped anything before. Took me 21 years to finally hit the tuner world lol. Before that I was driving a stock 1990 Corolla 5pd DOHC 1.6L, after that it was a 2004 Civic Hybrid, then I finally bought my Del Sol Si. I just need to amass the funds to do so.

 

BTW thank you everyone so far for your opinions on aftermkt intake manifolds and headers.
to:B20 i will keep the tb,it, and header in mind when I get around to my swap.

 

good to hear^
