anyone try one of these ebay headers? or any advice on were to get a decent header? for a 22r... Non emisions http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300252636713#ht_2027wt_0
the non emissions header is hard to find. that looks like the standard cheapie header. imho its doug thorely or nothing. they were badged TRD back in the day. there is one on ebay right now non emissions TRD doug thorley.
That is a Pace Setter header. Stay away from them. They are made out of very cheap thin metal. Buy a Downey or an LC Engineering one. James
ok so basicly the only real options are downy, Doug Thorley, or LC? or do they sell like a header kit that u can build like they do for small block chevy's? and the best place to get EGR Block off plates is LC? and i guess it dosen't have to be non emissions i could make it that way i work in a welding shop
best place for egr block off plates is your garage if you work in a welding shop, you could make your own header with half a kit from a 350. just need to make the flange. LC resells headers... mostly DT's.
they have dinky lil flanges, welds suck. and they arnt any better flowing then the stock manifold. in fact i threw mine away cuz it devolped a leak in the center of the collector after a few years. switched to the late 22r manifold (tri-y type) and noticed a power boost, and the eng is much happier at higher revs. ANY header is not a upgrade.
Agree!! I had one on my 88 Toyota with the 22R & from the start it did nothing but leak & as for performance it did nothing to help out. Pay more for a good header & youll be alot happier in the end.
weber makes awsome carbs for 20rs as for the header i had a hooker header on my 20r dont see why they wouldnt make one for the 22r of you can stick a 20r head on your 22r and make it have a better compression ratio and more hp plus u can get the hooker header for it
I have a Thorley Header. It's pretty nice, but it warped pretty bad right off the bat. I keep tightening it, usually once a month, and the exhaust leak gets a little better. But it just keeps coming back. I really need to resurface it. But next time I will probably try an LC header after Thorley jerked me around after sending the wrong header the first time. That, or make my own with a 1/2" flange. I have a stock 78 carb in my garage. I bought it rebuilt, then bought a Weber.
