Default Check out this funky JDM header...56K will probably choke

As featured on page 59 of the 02/03 issue of OPTION:



The outfit is called PRIME Garage. I thought it was a turbo mani until I saw the ITBs in the back

I'm always intrigued when people think outside the box

Insane, I wonder how well that intake manifold setup works. That is alot of warm air. I think that would work great on the DC5s though!

Thats the car. I remember the blue valve cover. That car got negative reviews, because it had very little power below 7k rpms. It did make like 270 whp though.

Hey, this isn't the same shop that is based in Queens, NY......is it. I have a cousin that sent me some pics a few years back and looks somewhat similiar to the ones he sent me. I can't remember the shop name either

268fwhp using TODA VTEC killer cams if my memory serves me right. They didn't seem to like it too much in the video cause of how torqueless and loud it was, but the owner even said that he didn't really care that it had no torque cause it was made for racing, and it did turn the fastest lap times.

the owner of that car was a poser, he said that he didn't car about how big the header was as long as it looked good. These headers usually are meant to be used without an exhaust system connected to it, it goes right out the side. The one in that car is made by Prime Garage. That design is supposed to be good actually when used with no exhaust system, I don't have first hand experience on it though.

I doubt that they ever use WHP on any of the best motoring videos, even the 1.3 liter city in the 10k rpm race had 160, thats too good to be true if its whp. They don't say wheel horse power in the video, just horsepower.

And that type R did not get the best times at all, the EF9 with stock ITR motor in it did about 1:12 the integra got 1:09, the prelude rated at 270 hp got about 1:06 and the AE86 with untuned suspension got I 1:07 or so.
