Thread: SR20VE 4-2-1 "budget" header

who? Not anyone I know. I was gonna stay home and wear sandals.

(he doesnt represent others from the seattle area)

Agreed
That would be much more productive for the community as well.

We arent fighting,hehe
Like I said,I totally understand his frustration.
Unfortunately,I dont have the funds or time to put into dyno and redyno,etc.
WE definately need to know both sides,gains and losses.The key is like you said...what needs to be done to makre the gains more consistent from car to car with similar setups.

lol i might be an opinionated asshat sometimes, but e-thuggin people is retarded.. plus drivin from seattle all the way here you guys would be tired by the time ya get here... an besides if ya actually took a few mins to talk to me ya might find im not such a bad guy..

First of all it was to be meant as a joke. Even though you were really becoming annoying i wouldn't waste my time on stupid Sh** like that. and too add im not e-thuggin or W/E i don't need to hide my face behind a computer..if i have a Problem with someone i don't hesitate to confront them.

cool cool man, same here.. anyways its squashed..

You and topdog said it all.

This header loses 10hp @ 8000rpm with a 2.5" choke over the 2.25". with a 2.375" choke the header makes 3more WHP @ 7500rpm but looses about 5-8lb ft TQ everywhere up to 7000rpm...

I know how to make more power and improve upon this header but it costs about $380 more and I CAN NOT gaurantee the fitment on an SE-R. There is more room to build it on a P10 chassis and make it fit better for more power so thats how I built the better header.

I just love all the S.P.E.'s telling someone who designs and builds these things for living how to do his job.

For those that indicated they gained no PEAK power what about the area under the curve? So far I have yet to see overlays of a dyno. pre budget VE header and post budget VE header for anyone that indicates that it made no power. Did I miss it?

Sounds like a bunch of dyno. queens if you ask me who want 200WHp even if it means the car lost torque and power everywhere else but at peak, but look at me, I have 200HP...

I am all for debate based on FACT and direct FAIR comparisons, but so far I have yet to see that from any of the nay sayers.

Ok I have tried to stay in the bushes about this... But here goes my thoughts..
GUYS it is a FU#King 600 dollar header. It is a little better than the fuji for the same money. And for those with the smart e-statements I have a Fuji on my car. This guy makes a custom header and all he is getting is hate. This coming from the same people a few years ago complaining about not being able to get parts for the SR. Stuff like this is exactly why JWT hasnt came out with VVL cams.

Charles good work my friend. I have done a ton of work on Happynoles cars and been there for several 30+ min conversations. You are a good dude and are going out on a limb to help us broke bastards out. I just want to thank you for your troubles. Oh yeah FU#k the haters

well thanks for letting us know whats up charles
OK enuff blabbin and more dyno's. Out of 30+ ppl i've only seen like 4-5 dynos done. I'll be doin one soon
