I bought a set but did not install yet ,,looks like there might be a clearance problem with my Postons 3 inh down pipe..quality looks good though

 

[Roc87]

Installing for a friend sometime this week (Need the extra $ to send Bweavy ), we'll see how it goes. I'm not even sure what kind of downpipe is being used. I'll let ya know how it goes.

 

[JOELO'S T-TYPE]

Thanks, I'm waitning on all of your feedback before spending $.

Thanks a lot.

I just bought a set on friday, i hope they are decent

 

[JOELO'S T-TYPE]

There are different sellers on ebay with somewhat similar products, that's why I was asking for the vendor's name and how was their product in order to make a good buy.

Hope yours turn out good.

Sorry i forgot to add that part, i bought the ones from JDMmotors. still waiting to hear anything from them.

update on the ebay headers


I drove SloGN 430 miles over the weekend and so far they seem to be hanging in there like a hair in a biscuit

only time and mileage wll tell how they hold up.


BTW spool-up is great with them over the stockers

If I recall, you got the JDM headers, correct? Did they come with the O2 bung already installed?

Anyone tried them with ATR/gbodyparts.com downpipes?

joel here ya go

hey guys


I got my JDM motors ebay headers installed today.


The headers fit the heads and block great with no problems at all. the only problem that i ran into was the bottom bolt on the middle tube on the pass side header is entirely too close to the tubes. so a little bit of massaging with a hammer to clearance the tube and it fit using a 3/8 header bolt in that hole.

The cross over fits very good no modding there. The only problem that i have is there is a small leak where the cross over pipe slips together. but thats nothing a band clamp can't fix.

Now the THDP will fit bit you will need a hott wrench to heat up the pipe and dent in the side of the pipe to get it to clear the crossover. OR you can just get a 1/2 inch spacer to go between the turbo and the downpipe.

I just chose to clearance the DP since the pipe has had some other clearnace issues before that had to be pounding out

i will take pics of it tomorrow.

Also i'm going to take some back pressure reading with the new headers to see if changing the headers has made a diffrence in the pre-turbine back pressure.


I have noticed a big difference in the tip-in response on the throttle.


Yeah the headers now have a nice blue tint to them at the flanges and a really nice bronze color every where else.

you really can't go wrong with them. i gave 189 buck plus shipping and that was like 28 bucks

here is what i had to do to get mine to fit on the car

 

[DCVING 6]

Got mine from JDMotorz. They look pretty nice, I was really suprised. Mine did have the O2 bung installed. The welds on the inside of the headers were ground down. I am going to do a little more work on the inside of the exhaust ports.

I had a set of heads sitting on my bench, and the flanges don't seem to fit flat against the head, but it is not bad. I am going to have them milled flat.

 

[Under Pressure]

FYI Dcving there was alot of loose burrs of metal in alot of the ports . Just check them out good my 2 cents..Good Luck

 

[J Banning]

Mine did. I received them about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Have not put them on yet.

 

[Roc87]

Has anyone used these with a stock downpipe? I got more than 1/2 way done installing them on a nearly stock '87 GN, and from what I can tell so far, the stock downpipe isn't going to work. The middle bolt on the passenger side header, the one on the bottom cylinder 4 is a real PITA, I had to hammer the bolt into place before putting header into engine bay. Drivers side went right in, used all stock bolts, had to "massage" the a/c & alternator bracket as the flange on these headers are thicker than stock headers. I got both sides installed and snugged up. The 3 bolt flange under the turbo had to be hammered to make room for one of the bolts. O2 bung was there with a plug in it. So for tomorrow, all I have to do is get the crossover pipes put in, cut the stock crossover and tell the guy to go to an exhaust shop to have them fix that. I would not install these if I didn't have access to the lift!!

It would be real nice if some TR vendor out there, would buy all these headers up, and massage them to fit properly, then add a reasonable cost to them for the work.
