Finally got my motor in today. Yehaw!! The s14.net is having a GB on "50/50/euro non-cat/320is headers. Since we don't have to worry about cats/O2 sensors or whatever, this seem like a good upgrade for stock or slightly modified s14s. I provided some links on the GB and write up about different types of S14 motors. I want a little more torque but don't want to lose any low end. Any thoughts on these headers. What are you guys using now? Stock? or ?? Can't wait to put it in the lil 02!!

If I were you, I would keep my money for an alpha-N from
Maxx (800 Euros - 30% more torque - 10% more power) and
a carbon fiber box from him too. The gain will be much
higher.

Having run mine with and without the 02 sensor, unless you're going to a euro motronic ecu, you'll definately want to keep the 02 sensor + bung.

Agree with Lee about the Alpha N. Save your money.

And you'll have to hack the header up to move the x-pipe forward anyway.

Subject: Keep it stock to begin with,

get used to the car with the stock motor, you won't be desapointed. Ray, I had my conversion almost five years, the motor is bone stock with the exception of a chip. I have blown people left and right, not to mention that with more horse power you'll need more brakes.....just a thought. Also it is nice to have room for changes.
Regards
Jan
