I think that's E-bay brand. I could be wrong though.

The header is made by alphawerks. I think it was made to fit the JDM version of the 4g94. It wasnt made for the US application. Everything fit except for the second piece. (2-1) I had to heat and bend for it to completely clear the oil pan, the way it came it was too close for my comfort also I had to cut from the flex back and flip it 180 degrees and reweld so I could bolt it to the test pipe. As far as the CEL it was ineviatable to come on and it did at exactly 73 miles each time I reset the ECU, but when I got the rrm pb it didnt come on until it reached 275 miles. So i bought two mil eliminators off ebay for a mustang for 20 bucks hooked it up and after a little over 1000 miles still no CEL. The piston rings were gapped just like JE called for. It seemed like the engine revved quicker with the new pistons, but it also could of been cause I waited like 6 weeks for the pistons to come in. Hard to tell. I do know that with mods I have there is no comparison to a stock OZ. But it is still slow compared to a turbo. N/A is nice but the ultimate goal is to bolt the turbo on. I have everything to do it including a not so totally custom turbo manifold ( bought a turbo manifold for a civic cut the plate off, had a plate made to fit the 4g94 and welded it on the manifold pipes, believe it or not the pipes were very close to matching and didnt require that much heating and from the measurement I took everything should clear no problem. But I havent bolted it on yet. I just got done --finally-- turboing a 1.6 liter protege. This is the second time we have done this, I put a complete engine swap cause the first time I did it, the guy just kept turn up the boost until he blew a piston out of the side of the motor, its been done two weeks now- and seems to run fine and safe at 6 psi. But with my morgage and the pile of bills I have seems like it wont be until this winter till my lancer is turbo'ed. I will post a pic of the protege turbo, keep in mind this is totally custom right down to the log manifold since there are no parts avaiable for the 1.6 liter protege, kinda of like the lancer--lol

The picture I have is too large to put on here I will have to take another pic if I try to make the file smaller it just distorts too bad. I will take apic tomorrow and post if any one want to see it.
