I have 91 crx with a b18c1 gsr swap. i have the dc sports 4-2-1 gsr header for it but i cannot seem to get it past the cross member to bolt it on. I have tried banging the cross memeber and even grinding it. any suggestions will help.

 

i had a similar problem with my 2 piece eldebrock header in my hatch with the flange on it. i just grinded the **** out of it until it fit. your header can't be as difficult as mine was, because yours is a one piece.... yes yes. keep gringing until it fits. **** it as long is works, unless you want to buy an aftermarket cross member.

 

i have the same set up mine fits perfect. You need to take the crossmember off and maybe even you radiator. I put mine in when i did the swap. so i didnt have to do all that. Im assuming its a 1 piece correct?

 

with Place Racing/Hasport mounts, the 4-1 one piece DC Sports header requires bashing the $hit out of the crossmember (i used to own one). I now have a DC 4-2-1 header on my B18C, and we did not have to bash it at all. Just drop the crossmember. It's 4 bolts, and the 2 nuts on the radius rod ends. hth

 

yes its a dc sports 4-2-1 1 piece header

 

yea i banged the hell out of my cross member and then grinded it some. I even took out my radiator fan. i thought it was going to fit, but then i got it stuck/wedged in there. I think the easiest way IS going to be to drop the cross memeber.

 

dropping the cross member is way eaier than all the stuff you already did

 

one word, "jimfab" ....

 

what mounts are you using? with my place racing mounts, my dc 2piece 4-2-1 gsr header fits fine.
