jeffp Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Hi everyone, I was looking on zcar today and this guy is saying he can make a header to fit the T3 exhaust turbine housing and a T4 housing. Both units are equal length header primary tubes. The T3 setup has square ports with a 1 1/2" pirmary tube. The T4 setup is 1 5/8" tubes. Both setups require an external waste gate installed on them. and now that I thought of it, where would you think the best place would be for the waste gate to be installed, keep in mind this is a header type configuration, so there is a limited place to install a waste gate. What do you think the gains would be with this setup. I know the pulses from the exhaust will be better, and I am relatively sure it will breath better then the stock manifold (at the exhaust port inlet to the manifold). I dont know many people running a header so the real life data is not to available. What do you think it would do on the car? I was contemplating the 1 1/2" primary tubes, it seems to me they would provide a better velocity for the pulses coming out of the exhaust. I would be willing to do this setup on my car if I can get better efficency of the exhaust to drive the exhaust turbine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 I've already got an e-mail from the guy, here is what he sent me. will send pictures as soon as possible. The price for the 1.5"/T3 header is $800 and the 1.625"/TO4 header is $900. The header is currently in pre-production and finish prototyping. Hopefully by the end of October they will be ready to ship. Thanks for your inquiry! I love to see something from this. I sent 4 hours today porting my stock manifold. Still if the power is there from this then it might be worth swapping out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 I thought we had someone on the board working on a header for us turbo guys. That is a lot of dough to spend for a header, and I wonder if we could just not make our own for that kind of money. You big money guys have at it, I will wait and see.

fl327 Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 i dont think the price isnt reasonable, since you cant get these anywhere else, id be interested in one for a t3 flange for sure, keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockjaw Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 I would like a picture, you can send it to me a cpeterson@msdudley.com I want to know what kind of car you have the engine in and what kind of t3 it is. Your time is very fast for just having a t3 and some nos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
