Stainless Header

[GHarman]

ToolMan, I believe your WRX block and heads are aluminum. Subaru standard equipment. Aluminum is closer to stainless steel in (thermal) coefficient of expansion than cast iron. You need to compare apples to apples. No offense intended.

is this completely a dead deal?? anyone heard of any progress??

 

[BTowler]

I would imagine so with no answer for this long!

Haisleys has something in the works pricing has yet to be determined. They have made the one for the CR and the 24V. Still working on the 12V. I have pictures somewhere. If I find them I will try to post.

Any luck with the photos and info???

when i talked to curt haisley about the header (5-6 months ago), HMR isn't making them, its the same header pictured.

Pinnacle Performance has a header that will be released soon. It isn't stainless and is priced around 4 digits.

I have heard Jerry has had a header on his truck for quite some time and tows with it.

I talked with him about it and it sounds like it is close to coming out. He is currently working on getting his new powerstroke header out there. There is a picture of the 3rd gen header in the last TDR magazine.

[CanadianCarGuy]

I have given up with waiting for the header and got the HTT pulse manifold to go with my twins.

 

[Bob Wagner]

Powerstroke???3rd gen??? what about us 2nd gen guys?

 

[WUnderwood]

they already make them for a 7. 3 Powerstroke, I had them on my old truck, it definately made a difference, I think

now if they only made them for a Cummins... ... ... .

 

[BLACKJACK]

Maybe I missed it but what size tubes are these stainless headers? It looks like 2" but its hard to tell the difference between 1 5/8, 1 7/8, and 2" in a picture?

I have the header installed on my truck as we speak.

Again, still seeing a couple of hundred degree difference in EGT's with the Smarty on 90HP and the TST on 2/2. Highest I can get it with that combo is 1428 degrees when before it would peg the TST at 1765 degrees. I made a few short blasts from 60-100 mph and never got over 1428 degrees.

We should have it on the dyno sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Granted, this is still in the prototype stages, but the install was fairly trouble free. There are a few adjustments that need to be made, but this should be a bolt in item when it is released.

We've installed a data logger to log EGT's at three different points #1, #6, and turbo inlet, as well as turbo drive and boost pressures. These will be compared with the stock manifold number with the probes and sensors located in the same positions.


I'm looking forward to the results as much as anyone else.

Powerstroke???3rd gen??? what about us 2nd gen guys?

I also tested a set for the 2nd Gen 24 Valve trucks.



It also saw a considerable EGT reduction.
