I second that, the Contemplation will drive you insane. lol

 

yur also forgetting for him he also needs at least the bell housing from the trans to mount up with the engine. darkmitsu did his swap for about 1500 i think but then again if he dont want to do 1500 for a used turbo setup why would he do a 1500 engine swap for the minimal gains, unless even after that he does an evo head and a turbo...

 

What about these headers? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
I'm scared the welds are cheap and just overall cheap.
Anyone have these?
Thoughts?

 

looks very similar to the one i have on the 4g64 eclipse now. those flow the best IMO BUT they are raspy so keep that in mind.

 

alright, I guess I'll try them out in a bit

 

I'm betting the noise will be increase but horsepower won't be quite so much. It doesn't seem like flow in and out of the 4g94 engine is much of a bottleneck, like with hondas.

 

that is true. although a long tube design such as those will pretty much help you out all that a header can. only thing better than that is designing your own. A header on that motor i would say should increase power by about 5 or 6 in conjunction with a cold air intake and exhaust. The most important thing is the long tube helps the motor rev which is a downside with an auto. That is why is helps a bit more. the sorter ones are never worth buying since fed spec manifolds are pretty much the same thing (this appears to be the rule of thumb across all makes and models these days, 08 camry 4az-fe fed spec has a short tube header oem with stock 2.5" exhaust). Cali spec motors will always get more out of a header therefore. Remember that the header comes with it's own downpipe and you cannot use your own (the long secondaries go into one at the downpipe) so if you already have a high flow cat make sure it is a 2.25" (exhaust i.d. of new downpipe should be about this) maybe even 2" just have to measure it and have someone put it on. or take my route and go catless and pass emissions. after a good set of boltons, a tune will do wonders (think of it as a puzzle anda tune is the final piece). with your new parts you are leaning out your motor a little bit. this means in a tune you can throw a little more fuel in. bad mpg's? no. more efficient. yes. this will make it so you will less load to get moving therefore less gas and when you hammer it more power form a better afr. the tune with your boltons will add probably roudabout 10 hp (sounds low but your boltons together come to about 10 so essentially this will double it). I mean a tune without boltons has been proven these days (on some motors) to ave good results.

 

I have that exact one on my car now. It's been on there since May and it's still strong...no cracks or problems at all.

 

Yah I m just going to be buying parts in bulk and selling them to afford a down payment on a RA and I ll be out of this car.
