Checking intrest: custom header

[Justin86]

ok here are some designs I have been looking at right now for a 4-2-1 header......
the one on the right

that first one looks like it would be MUCH easier to fab and weld up.

[Justin86]

The first one will be easier for me to make, but will also cost more due to more materials. Flow wise they should work better then pace and DC. Price is the big thing here, 4130 steel is not cheap, and with flex pipe, flanges, and ceramic coating it will cost me about 200 to make them. I might just end up using mild steel to make cheaper for everyone else, just depends on where I get the tubing.

I like the merge collector on the last pic.
Thanks to burns stainless I can get the parts I need, when I get the money.


I was going to make a 4-1 collector that drops to a 1.75" small diameter then with a 14 degree taper to a 2.50" large diameter. The merge length being 2" long.
Hopefully it'll pick up some more velocity.

You wonder why there is a huge price difference between DC and Pacesetter, the design's are basicaly the same........... it's the steel they use and that will be at least half of my cost in making these. I'm still trying to find a good source to buy the tubing so the price may varry..............

Here are some sites to look at when shopping for materials... I know places like burns offers discounts if you order in bulk.

BURNS STAINLESS

PITSTOP USA Ordered from them before

STAINLESS WORKS

TRC ( I was going to buy the kit for the 22r then just use the toyota flange for scrap )

I'll probably have enough cash for one come winter break... You guys can also make them for the carb, right?

[Justin86]

Hey thanks mike, I looked at pitstop before, and they didn't have all the size's that I was looking for.

[A20A1]

I'm adding some more info to the Header FAQ, but I have some new things up already...

[A20A1]

I added a new chart, should be good for cross referencing the pacesetter and DC header to choose a cam... but thats not exactly the best way to go about it... usualy the cam is first then the header.

[mercerus]

i would be down with a new header hell yeah what around 300 bones? sweet

[Justin86]

I'd say about 300 for a cermaic coated header would be about right and more for a stainless. So pretty much the price of what a typical header would cost.

[3rdgeneration]

is anyone out there doing turbo manifolds?

[Justin86]

hum I should be making one here soon.

[3rdgeneration]

let me know what your looking to charge cause im intrested

[great86er]

Hey... I'll take one of those to. Should be the same for carb 2.0 LX right?

[3rdgeneration]

any word for the turbo manifold?

[gekko]

i got the money , any header soon

[87_HaTcH]

yea my piping is 2.5 from the header. 1 pipe from the manifold. Would that be a different connection that the header and down pipe right?

[5spdaccordlxi]

i'm interested

thanks for reminding me. this needs to be closed. Justin86's header(s) would be a better option i think. Ima gonna close this thead.
