think from the pics is that the biggest prob is that the collector is to close to the block which is screwing the angle up.
my headers have the collector bout the same place but the collector is further out from the block and you can see in my pic earlier in the thread that my angle is pretty good..
if he cuts off a few inches of down pipe to the very start of the bend he'd just bout be right
bump the ye ole thread.
sum progress, got the cv axle end swapped and installed axle, driver's side hybrid
so you havent given up yet lol, drive it yet??
got the header about finished, I hope.
I mounted it up and had to use hi temp slicon for the downpipe gasket since it got shipped without one. I know some pro street racers that use it on chevys with no problems, me hopes.
the pipe is touching the frame just at the flex, not good
and the o2 bung plugs I had for the DC ar too long, there is like 1.25 inch if that between the plug end and crossmemer. I may need to get 90 degree angle o2 sensors or some short short plugs temporay. Now on to the rest of the exhaust. I have bought 2.25 pieces all the way back, and I need a cheep quiet rear muffler to go with the 2 ft glass pack. up front.
Man I'm excited to see your carb'd B20A going! Hope to see videos of it running and driving soon!!
Did you ever pull your oil pan roodoo? I'm trying to figure out if there is a USDM equivalent oil pan gasket, or if we're screwed on putting a new one in. It's not listed in the FAQ...
you would think the b20a5 one is the same but the part numbers are different
--another reason for my site to want to be built
you can get some pretty high tech form a gasket stuff, it will replace the pan gasket and seal it up tight.
Updated top view pic- test drove it just down the street, seems like double the hp, oh that's right it is....
still have to get it quieter, have some exhaust issues still, and then get the auto tx adjusted. Then on to suspension and paint detailing. I have clear corners and an idea about the front lenses.
I can't seem to find any 86-87 grill tips that are not cracked. I guess I will wind up faux cf over repaired ones or either repair them and go body color
thats cool apart from the auto box on there. You cant find non cracked 86 ones? over here all the 86-87 ends are mint its the 88-89 and vigor grilles that are teh cracked
Cool! Another B20A is reborn lol.......Let see some vids of this thing running. Once you drivea B20A you will never go back to A series again. What happened to your cam gear cover?
it was damaged, I am thinking about using a cast style or just get some ACG for the hellof it. Also plan on doing something with the valve cover before too many pics are up.Originally Posted by bullard123
I also need to replace or modify the motor mounts before I can settle the exhaust, since the problem is up at the second crossmember area.

DUDE! !! EFFING SWEET!!! Please tell me you're going to take some videos! Congratulations on the successful swap man!!! She motivates good with that 38 on there eh? Your engine bay looks damn good man! That manifold is so rockin! I love your car! <3
You need to throw it up on the dyno and see what kind of power it's putting down the way you've got it set up. Man you've got me motivated now!!!
Oh man, that is just fantastic to hear!! Probably literally too..
got some done today, urethaned the motor mounts, painted and installed vent shades, added sheathing to tranny cooling lines, tidyed up wires, drove down highway some. I still have exhaust to deal with yet though.
