Headers Help! What fits??

[iijjee]

Simple Q! Don't answer unless you know for certain!

Will B16A2 Headers fit onto a B18CR?

Ta!

[Benson]

No!..

[Limbo]

which b16 headers are you talking about?
OEM b16 ones will not, some aftermarket brands will, but it all depends on which brand as most aftermarket brand make them for both b16 & b18s

[Limo]

no they wont fit, the bolt pattern will line up, but your block is too long for the b16 headers to clear the b18 block.

aftermarket ones like spoon will fit

aftermarket ones like spoon will fit

so if i buy spoon headers made for a b16, they will also fit a b18???how is this possible?do they extend or something?

[vincikwan]

yeh your missing my point mate. you have b18 headers which will also fit a b16, but obviously will hang alil bit lower than OEM. but you CANT use b16 headers and fit them onto a b18 cos the engine is longer.

Actually I used b16 aftermarket 4-2-1's on a b18 and there was plenty of room.

I think it depends on the brand and 4-1's might be a tighter fit near the sump.

i'm using a spoon 4-2-1 made for the b16 and b18. it fits perfectly.

most aftermarket make b16/b18 headers for ease of production (only have to make on set).
The make them to fit the b18 so that they can use them on the b16 & b18

i used the FGK super EX headers, made to fit both engines.
