you would have an H22. (H series motor at 2.2L of displacement)

DC sucks *****.

the search function is the best friend you will have here. its in the upper right hand corner of this page. also there are a lot of GREAT links in the FAQ at the top of the main PRELUDE page.

welcome and good luck.

 

psssh why you gotta be like that man...DC aint bad, wait I cant lie that bad to a new guy. For the H22 I reccomend from experience the Neuspeed N2 Ceramic header. This was for a 5th gen though so I dont know about fitment with the exhaust. If you want SMSP has one for a grand I believe, check him out hes actually on here.

Doug when you getting back or knowledge of your orders....hit me up dude!

orders lol. hahahahahahaha.... Japan is out the friggin window thats a fact. right now im trying to get recruiting orders down by sams house.

BTW travis: dill is just like you said.... 17 year old stuck in a 33 year olds body. and is married now.... again....

 

Don't get a ceramic header. Spend the extra cash on stainless.

Ceramic headers will rust and are known to crack from the heat. Stainless doesn't rust and will last forever.

 

Greddy for your 4th gen fosho!!!

Nice turbo-ready engine. 7 psi to be SAFE on internals.

stainless will still rust in time

 

thanks for the advice, so now i know what engine i have do i go for a header which is 4-2-1 or 4-1?
i have read that you need a 4-1 if you want to fit a turbo. but is there any other reason?
do you get better performance from a 4-1 header over a 4-2-1?

Ummm, you do know that the "ceramic" headers are ONLY ceramic coated....right??? They are steel underneath the ceramic coating.

 

My bad, I should've stated that. Yes, the ceramic coating flakes off and then it rusts. Looks terrible.

Stainless technically does rust, but it takes like 100 years.

 

does it say Vtec on the vavle cover? if not it's an h23 non vtec SI. Also all Vtec models that came to the US are 5 speed, not auto.

 

ha ha ha ha 4-2-1 and 4-1 Header......for turbo you have a turbo manifold. No more header to say the least. If your going turbo why waste your money now for something you wont need later.

Doug WTF man no Japan Orders???? I need someone out here that understands my love of the lude.....all these Nissan and Mazda lovers, no love for the ludes.....well no 5th gens to say the least....but they have an overabundance of 4th gens, that arent taken care of at all.
when you gettin back to Norfolk? Where is ole Turbo Sam at then? And I told you all about Dill in those short and simple words didnt I?

we all do that. my suggestion is to spend a while searching before you make your decision. but ultimately Boost owns us all. well, unless you are a die hard auto x'er or road racer.

as far as me gettin orders hahaha. dude, with the finances right now they cant afford to send anyone to Japan from the east coast that they dont have to. i have seen 2 other people get orders to japan cancelled for that same thing. **** sucks man.

 

it will be the physical year again soon, maybe you can just TAD till then and then get on over here. Im making some headway with importing, but nothing solid as of yet
