should fit. I bet the under-sump section might be alittle too thick/tall and touching there , right ?

[spidertunez]

Nope..It doesnt line up on the head

What's the stamp on your head say

PR3
P72 ?

The frontal studs and ports line up on the pr3 head vs the p72 - hence headers are generally compatible from b16a/b18crs and b18c2/b18bs .
You are thinking of the inlet manifold differences ?

[dorikin]

Ahh yeah that's right my bad
lol

[spidertunez]

The head is pr3-2

Have you removed the small mounting bracket from the factory manifold, located on the block to the right of the dipstick?

[bennjamin]

Also try the header gasket on the head back onto the header and vice versa - it will show that the studs line up.

[spidertunez]

Is a Pr3

[spidertunez]

And i also try the headers gasket onto the headers it dont line up as well

Check the engine number. If fine you got the wrong header. And yes thats what she said!

I purchased Mugen headers a couple years ago and had the same problem. I returned it back to the seller.. I did eventually buy one. If the holes/studs don't line up the headers are not for your engine. I still have my mugen b18/b16 headers in the garage. I can measure the holes for u if you want to compare? I've already had the header on my b16a2 so I know it fits

[spidertunez]

i have b16a1 and my freind have a b16a2.

Atari: Can you do that please?

[lil_foy]

Are you sure it's not a d series header?

[TOm.C]

Didn't know mugen made headers for d series, Can some one confirm?

[spidertunez]

It might fit into d series. . I just came back from burbs engineering
He told me the Holes is way too out.

My question is should the seller refund the money back to me

[atari]

I measured the hole distance from my headers
Hope the picture helps VVV

O 9cm O 8cm O 9cm O
O 8.5cm O 8cm O 8cm O 8.5cm O

Key:
O = holes
*cm = space in between holes

There is no d series mugen header I believe. You might have one that's for a prelude
I hope it works out for ya

[spidertunez]

thanks atari.. will buy you drink 1 day :)

searching the no on the jasma plaque will tell you what it is some times

[VTURBO]

if they the gasket done fit maybe its for somthing else post a pic maybe from H22a or somthing only way to know is if u post pic and measure the stud holes and post it

I had Mugen B18C 4-1 Header on my EG/B16A(2).. it's made for B18C-R/B16B but fits B16A also. gen1 and gen2 B16 are the same bolt pattern etc.

what is the number on the JASMA tag ? i cant quite read it..

$600 was a good price too !
