108051, eBay header, good or bad?
Posted by rettez, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Ok, my car hit's 16.618 on 1/4 mile some weeks ago.
i order the eBay header 4-1 for my car, (55 dlls it's a good price lol).
I am surprised to see that the eBay header have 2" of diameter, SAME DIAMETER that the oem!!
i install the header, and i went to the track to race, the fucking time: 17.0 !!!!
i feel the engine with more power in the street before the track, but in the track, i feel the car, little slow, forced.
i discovered that the conector of cam sensor, it has a failure on connection (the connector has play) and i fix that with aislant tape (black), but with the heat of header, the glue is gone! i think this maybe the problem, but i don't want to buy a brand new cam sensor lol
so, the question is...
is a good modification the eBay header?
i'm sad :( , the car is slow because of failure of cam sensor?
P.D. i'm saving money to buy the parts missing of my turbo kit, i bought turbo,manifold,bov,ic piping. but i want down my time on 1/4 mile being N/A before install the turbo, because SR20 guy's kill me :(
Greetins, i'm sorry for many letters and questions, i hope that you help me. Thanks!

Get a new cam sensor. if yous is as bad as you say, you need another. as far as the ebay header, Bulletdsm, ran an ebay header on the fastest 420a N/T ever for a while, untill he replaced it with a custom long tube header. they work better than stock header. fix the CPS, and see what happens.

No offense but the sr20 guys are always going to kill you.
That is a really stout motor that can handle tons of boost on a stock bottom end.

A header alone isnt really gonna do shit with your time. It's just part of the basic breather mods, that's all.
I see you are going turbo in your sig? If so, fix the cam sensor, and don't spend anymore money on NA mods, unless it's a UDP or something like that. Anything that's gonna be replaced with a turbosystem is useless at this point.
