Some Goodies

So here's my little pile that's been building up over the last few months. The J's Racing header with X-Force cat, RBC intake manifold (thankyou Justin :wave: ) and P2R thermal intake gasket.

This should all be going on soon and I'll dyno it soon after. I guess I'm hoping for around 125-130kw but we'll see :p

nice dude can't wait to see the results!

[johnprocter]

btw how much was the x-force cat?

[Crapdaz]

nice Mr L, beautiful header you got there. Too bad its not a direct bolt on....
and yeh can see it bends slightly up so no wonder it would hit the chassis.....

[integral90]

btw how much was the x-force cat?

Usually $180 but I got it bundled with a K&N panel so it ended up being about $160. I mean cats and mufflers are all basically the same thing at the end of the day, would prefer a mediocre cat if it means I can afford better headers :p

nice header, cant wait for the final product

what are you running catback?

[integral90]

what are you running catback?

Gonna run a straight 2.5" pipe to the split for the time being. Eventually get the split done properly and run it to either the stock mufflers or some nicer ones. I could always go for an aftermarket 2.5" catback but with the current exchange rate it's cheaper to go full-custom and there's probably more power :D

Remember to get them to either extend your O2 sensor wire, or cut and reweld the O2 bung so that it is rotated 180 degrees. You also need to weld in an additional bung for the secondary O2 sensor which is originally mounted on the cat.

Yeah Ben reckons if you extend the o2 sensor wire it will make it. Also the guy is gonna weld a bung into each end of the cat and we're gonna see which bung the sensor will take to and not bring up CEL warning.

The 1st sensor must be before the cat and the 2nd has to be after. You can't position it any differently. Get a "defouler" made up just in case you get CEL from the 2nd sensor because of the cat.

hey i think its better to add flexi pipe on ur header :) help to reduce the vibration on the engine bay area

if the hooking bracket is in the right position and installed properly with slight modifications there won't be any need for it.

It has it's own pillow next to me. We brush out teeth together each night before we go to sleep. Move on mate, she's gone for a younger sexier model (I of course mean the 06+ k24a3 :p )

Yeah I'm gonna get a single flex pipe put into the b-pipe just after the cat I think. If I can avoid the 2 flex pipes the Toda have then I should be able to get some more power than the Toda's get. My theory might be wrong, but I think 1 flex pipe further down the exhaust wouldn't hinder flow as much as 2 flex pipes so close to the beginning of the exhaust.

Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!

Where you going to mount the guitar hero in the car? :p

[Crapdaz]

guitar hero is going to be his new steering wheel control..... :p

J's racing is meant to be a racing header, hence no flexpipe. :)

I wish! VTEC + 100 note streak would be omg :p

Also Aaron does that mean I can avoid having a flex pipe altogether or I'll still need one in the b-pipe?

You don't need one, but if you don't have stiffer engine mounts, I would use a flexpipe in order to avoid cracking the welds when the engine rocks under acceleration.

Wanna sell me yours?
