I can't wait to see your car finished!

I'm getting pretty anxious myself!



The last of the parts needed to finish the Webers came today, so they're finished. I also found out that they're a rare series of DCOE's that came on certain Alfa Romeos . Hopefully that means they'll sell for enough to pay for a pair of Dellortos and all the tune up/maintanance parts for the B6d.

So Pretty!

The Accord F22 header came in today and I was able to compare the flange to the B6d gasket. I also ordred a B6d flange that should be here Friday.






The Honda spacing is a little wider, but I should be able to move the pipes around enough to match up to the B6 flange.




Hopefully it clears the a/c compressor and lower rad support. I'll take it home tonight and see how it fits on the blue swap car since it's still together.

Looking forward to seeing how the header turns out. Looking to put one on my b6d.

Looks like it'll clear the compressor and sway bar but doesn't line up with the notch in the oil pan. Might be more work than its worth to make it work. A 4-1 style would probably easier to modify to fit into the oil pan notch.

The problem with the Honda header solution is the fact that the engine faces the wrong direction, this putting the oil pan tunnel on the right instead of the left like ours. I would venture a guess that a Toyota header would be a better fit in that respect.

I'll check into other options, thanks!

looking at your comparison to the honda headers and your measurment of the outlets i think this would be the header to try
and the bottom outlet seems to go to the right area as well (seeing as its made for a mazda anyway)

just something to think about. thats what im going to look into if not ill build a set

I should have thought about looking at other Mazda headers... doh! I looked for a 4-2-1 version (should produce a wider torque curve vs 4-1) of those on ebay and couldn't find anything except the 4-1 style. A 4-2-1 style for a '93-97 Probe/MX-6 popped up in the "results matching fewer words" section, and it looks like it exits more to the driver side which is what we'd need.

This listing has a good straight-on pic to show the shape.

This listing has a measurement of the port spacing, which looks to be almost identical to the B6d spacing so swapping flanges should be easier than the Honda header.

Took it to the first fall semester autocross yesterday, first time I've autocrossed it on the Nankangs. The fastest time of the day was a Focus RS with a 48.8, and I ran a 51.002. I was running 5-6 seconds off the fastest times when I had the Achilles tires mounted, so the tires helped a lot.

I murdered a cone on my first run... this was a 53.xx lap.

Second run, 51.59.

Sweet!
what pressures were you running on the Nankang's?

27 psi cold all around. Front probably needed a little more.

[theastronaut]

Results were posted, I came in 8th overall out of 56 cars. Fastest was actually a Fiesta ST with a 48.937, and my fastest was a 51.042. The guy giving out the sticky note time slips must have made mistakes on a few of our times since the guy with the Focus RS had a 48.8xx time slip, and I had a 51.002 time slip.

Dude thats sick! good job man. maybe the rs hit a cone?
