STi_Bandit Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 ive been advised on a number of ocasions that with the car gouing to be tuned to around 330 340bhp on the standard sti turbo i should really get the headers and turbo ported to stop any boost spiking. My question is where to get the turbo and headers ported can this be done in a day as the car is pretty much used all the time so can really afford to remove turbo and headers and haver her sitting un-usable for a week or so. Cheers for the help guys Bandit
craig mac Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 Martin Buy headers they are not to expensive, but be selective as to which ones you buy. Craig
STi_Bandit Posted September 8, 2006 Author Posted September 8, 2006 craig if your talking about s/s headers ive looked at a few s/s headers, and also heard a few, and personally iam dont want to go down the s/s headers route as i love the burble that the standard header give, hence the reason porting them would be more of an ideal souloution for me lol should of bought your sti headers mate when i saw them for sale DOH. Bandit
craig mac Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 Martin I have St/Stl Headers mate and i still have the rumble, It just when you go equal length you loose a little of the burble. And it screams like a super bike when revin the teets oot of it[] Craig
STi_Bandit Posted September 8, 2006 Author Posted September 8, 2006 Craig, I honestly thought you were running GT-Spec headers :-), which are slighty unequal, hehe can a get a pax lap at knockhill and hear them at full chap inside the car. oh and fell what 380bhp fells like :-)
craig mac Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 They are GTII Spec, unequals yes Pax lap no problem for a donation to Spooks for Santa Cruise Craig
Boyakasha Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 GT II Spec headers are still unequal but not as much as the standard jobbies from what I believe. I certainly had a nice burble when I did mine but the sound on full chat is bonerfying []
rossyboy1 Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 I've got some HKS unequal jobbies and it has changed the rumble a bit. Its still noticably a Subaru to about 3,000 rpm, then things start to change and all hell breaks loose at about 4,500 rpm. Bonerfying is the description above and thats good enough for me [] Whatever you do, dont buy the cheap ebay/megan types as they have a bad reputation for splitting in a short space of time.
paul_honthy Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 From what i've seen i've noticed a lot of people selling Megan headers "needing a bit of welding". Maybe a brand to avoid, but I may be wrong.
fai17 Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Greersport can do the lot ina day...just ask G.Mac[]
