- Sun Sep 18, 2011 1:19 pm #272602 You did very nice work with the header. I am not sure if they actually offer this type of header for D series, or it's just for B's. As to wrapping- Idk if you did this...you need to moisten the thermowrap with water and then do it. This way you manage to tighten it better and don't feel the small particles that make your skin itch. If you did that, please accept my apologies for spamming :D I think you need to tune again on a dyno and check what the benefit of the header is, as well as fine-tune some more horses out :D

@kapow: no i dont think that i will dyno it because the engine is going to be swaped agaynst a B18c6 engine this winter. so i think i will save me some money on that dyno.

as for the inside of the pipe if you get a second regulator for your argon tank and purge the header with argon, your welds will turn out much cleaner on the inside of the pipe,
they will lay flat and not have as much slag. better for flow

- Mon Nov 07, 2011 10:01 am #280531 A D15z1 head on a D15b7 block is a not good idea. The compression will be way to high like 13,4:1 and you will have not enough piston to head clearance.

My suggestion is to put the D15z1 back in with the D15b7 gearbox, get your self an ITR fuel pressure regulator a D16z6 or D16y8 header.

And if you whant to get custom get your self a D15z6 intake manifold and open up the ports in the head.

Last year i made my header by myself but it wasn't as clean as yours, especially where the welds on the collector wasnt that great :P
So, i think you did realy well

Cant wait to see the b18c6 see in there :hehe:
