I recently purchased a custom d-series header, its cool for $50 So today i got off my lazy *** and decided to port match it to my head. I got some pics, I think i did it right, but if not let me know. I kind of did it half *** but i like it. Let me know wat u think...

My wonder working compressor, and the bits i used





Check this out, isnt this the ugliest exhaust manifold let alone restrictive. this was on my motor when i bought it, its the man. off a 4 spd. STD motor( I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE E.T. OR SOMETHING!)



custom header



Port matched and ready to install

 

thats not a custom header, that would be a stock ZC header, i got mine for 10 bucks canadian

 

:raises eyebrow:

 

Thats a stock header? Looks pretty ******* sick

Or do you mean the ET one?

Always wanted to know how to port match

sorry, but it isn't. stock zc header is cast upper, tubular lower, but it is 421.


cool header, can't wait to put mine on

 

yeah not a ZC header. looks nice

 

quit hating and give the guy some credit

as he deserves

u try to do something like this port anything that takes a bit of time u know

and u gain experience

 

I dont think I see one word of hatred towards the orignal poster, read a bit

Again, I wish I knew how this was done, going to look into it for sure

 

I portmatched both the header and the head to the gasket. I used a sharpie and outlined the metal inside the gasket. Then I ground away. I don't know how he did his portmatching though.

 

Im jsut curious how much difference will this acutally make,,, ?? for this technique, when you use the drumle tool are you only concerned with the first half inch depth or as deep as you can get the drummel in there??

 

Oh ya so the gasket prety much has to be perfect for the motor then

 

i prefer to use a carbide burr to cut it out with and use sandpaper rolls to polish

 

thanks for the comps. I thought i was gonna get flammed for the header, i mean who gives a **** look at the one before and the one i have now, and for only $50 shiiit

 

this is my ZC header..... stock, looks exactly like his

 

WTF? never seen a ZC stock header like that?? how do you know thats a stock header??

 

maybe because thats for the DOHC Zc. and you guys are thinking about the single came one. cause my single cam zc doesnt even come close to looking like that. Maybe thats for the dohc zc? just a thought

 

That is not a dohc stock zc header....zc's have cast uppers that join into a 2 pipe lower.

Where are you buying you zc stuff from that told you that was stock...in toronto?

 

its off a car thats sitting in a junkyard that had a DOHC ZC and i've asked quite a few ppl and they said its a stock DOHC ZC Part

 

thats pretty tioght..

 

There is no way thats a stock Honda part.

Honda wouldnt make something without a heatshield to help keep the AC cool.

 

i agree to guy above! my stock zc dohc header came cast iron 4-2-1 style

And so has everybody else I know who has had one.

 

I purchased this supposedly custom header for my DOHC ZC.

So is this a 4-2-1 header aftermarket or OEM jdm dohc zc???

 

its aftermarket.. it cant be stock.
