EMWHYR0HEN Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Okay, finally got everything working propery, So these will be my "baseline" pictures. Hopefully my Friend that goes to UTI will let me dyno my car this friday so I can also get a baseline power output. Now, I can start modding My Super Duper High Flow Header! Fire Wall Clearence. Intake manifold / Pipe , Clearence to Hood. Home Depot Special. Here you can see I used the stock throttle linkage on the fire wall. Just cruised through a local J- yard for a long cable, cut the end and crimped and brazed it to the stock linkage. Also, conveiniantly there are several holes near the linkage so that you can bolt the cable on the firewall. Cheap, easy, and works great! header clearence. Future mods in order: 1. Headers! 2. 4.11 Diff 3. RB26 ITB's 4. Standalone ? Power FC? 5. Cams and Springs 6. Head work Wish me Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMWHYR0HEN Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 looks great...what mounts are you running? looks like it sits really far foward.. mike Im using the stock RB25DE mounts. yeah, it did look kind of forward to me also. But, I don't think it was even an issue for me because I also added 80 + LBS of metal to the cabin. Car still handles great IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240Z_Master Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Thing sits far front Myron, but hey, you're running and I'm not, so you have bragging rights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMWHYR0HEN Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 Thanks guys! I've probably done the quickest, easiest, and cheapest RB swap into a Z. It's nothing to get that excited about, but im happy with it! Does anybody know someone that can make a custom header for a straight 6 for under $400 bucks?

240Z_Master Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Does anybody know someone that can make a custom header for a straight 6 for under $400 bucks? I think you need to get the exhaust flange made first, and you would probably need a gasket for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed260Z Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I think that there is a JDM header that you can get for a RB25DE. If not search the exhaust forum, there was a post about fabing up some custom headers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMWHYR0HEN Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Dahm those are sexy. what is that stainless? any idea how much that costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMWHYR0HEN Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 I see that the header is a tri Y design. anyone know the differences between a tri-y and say 6-1, anything else? Hey Q can i borrow your stock manifold to make a copy of the flange so that i dont have to remove MY header? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumnhammer Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 The header design is based primarily on torque delivery. a 6-2-1 will have more torque down in the lower range and spread out over the rpm range. a 6 into 1 will have greater flow for more hp and the torque delivery will be more in the upper end of the rev range. So tri-y for more low end 6 into 1 for more top end. Chris Rummel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMWHYR0HEN Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 I've been looking for a header for quite a while now and i found one made by COBY and is located in AUS. Specs are 1 1/2'' primary, 1 3/4 secondary, and 2'' outlet and its a tri y design.They want want $200 usd for the header, but shipping will be $173. On top of that it will take more than a month. So i was thinking I have My old 6-1 header (which is what im looking for) from my L28 sitting around which has a 2 1/2'' outlet, but i still have to measure the primarys. anyway, i was thinking maybe i could fab up a flange and use my old L28 header. anyone have any idea's why i couldnt use the header, or why i shouldnt? i'll take some pictures tomorrow. i dont even know what brand they are, bought them from a dude on a street corner, literally. My only concern is that the RB25 exhaust ports are evenly spaced out, opposed to the L series ports which arent ( see picture of header above) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
