Default Dyno Results - Imagine Engineering Header!!!

I just got back from the dyno!

Setup:
95 Honda Civic
95 JDM H22
Thermal Exhaust
AEM Cold Air Intake

Here is a picture of the stock manifold with the 2.5" collector


Here is the Imagine Engineering header:


Here is the dyno results:


I put the car up on the dyno and ran the car with the factory manifold 2 or 3 times to get it warmed up and get some consistant runs. Run#4 was a little lower than #3, so I used #3 for the comparison. Took off the factory manifold and put on the Imagine Engineering header. It made a max gain of 17 hp @ 7100 rpm and 12 ft-lbs @ 6700 rpm!!! I am going to get a fuel pressure regluator later this week. I didn't have anything to adjust or tune. My air/fuel was a little lean (ranged from 15:1 to 14:1) on both headers and I think I can get more power out of it if I make it a little richer. I'm guessing it will be around 185 with a regulator and maybe 185-190 with a VAFC. Installation wasn't too bad. A 35.5" alternator belt is needed and a little triming of the lip on the lower crossmember and lower radiator support is needed to get the header up through.

I highly recommend this header and can't wait to get the fuel all tuned out and get it to the track. 13's for sure!

Thanks to Mike @ Imagine Engineering for helping me out and hosting my pics.

No dude whatever type of header I have, is just a basic 4-2-1 header, so don't feel left out.

No problem Aaron. Definitely need to get that fpr and get back to the dyno and tune out the fuel. Maybe you'll see a 20+ difference then.

It only hangs about a 1/2 orso off the oil pan.

I totally forgot about the fuel pump when I did the swap. I was talking to some guys and we realized I still have the factory Civic pump. I've got a Walbro 190 lph pump and that should definitely help richen things up.
