Headers
 

Has anyone used japspeed spec 3 headers or is it best to stay away and get a genuine set of gt spec headers ?

Stay away and get a set of proper ones, though below 400bhp a set of ported standard headers with a nice Harvey up-pipe is probably crisper to drive

Spoke to Alyn about the Harvey up pipe good price but it would be along wait for a set of Harvey ported heads which I really would like .

Headers
 

You could always have a go at porting (gasket matching) your own, make sure you use safety goggles or you could lose an eye!, Use an air powered die grinder, with a tungsten carbide bur tool and then smooth out with some fine grinding bits.
But in all honesty it won't make much difference, not a noticeable difference at least unless you port match the heads themselves, and that is a ball ache, The up pipe however does make a noticeable difference to spool.

I used a Metal muncher carbide cutter from ebay in a hand drill. A pretty ausome cutter that made the B&q cutter look like a nail file.

Dont bother with cheap manifolds mate, i have tried them and they do not fit properly.. So got some RCM headers.

Been looking at a set on Snet just waiting to see if he drops his price even more and i think the only way to get them is to tell the wife is my headers are cracked lol .

i used RCM ones unequal great kit helped get the most from my stock turbo but did loose a little bit of rumble threw the miltek tho

I spotted those as well, you would want a Harvey spec'd up-pipe with those to get the most out of them if you get them...Speak to Alyn at AS Performance he makes them (I was tempted with that set myself!) :)

For manifold only you can probably get them as low as £200

I was thinking that of going that way Dave :ok:

That is exactly what you say. And then say that it will be dangerous as the fumes will come into the car.. lol

I was looking at them they have dropped to 250 but they are wrapped... Need to make sure they are not cracked. Don't forget to look at the Lateral performance headers as well, as they are pretty much exactly the same.

They have sold, RCM, Lateral and most of the decent tuning stores all import the same "GT Spec 3 bolt headers revision2" no difference between them as far as I'm aware, but there are obviously cheap imitation ones out there.. DONT fit anything from eBay for example.

Agreed.they come up 2nd hand quite often. I got mine for £200 off 22b forum:yeah:

And just add this is my 5k post:ok:

Well done that man lol , I will find a set in due course but on the bright side just found a TD04 billeted and also a TD05 16g as I've not heard nothing back from John at BRD about my turbo as he's been a busy man lately .

Sorry off topic but this calls for a cake!

:sos: Calling Wanda.............

lol:five:

lolz :) ;P

Just saw this ,, is this the guy from braveheart turbos ? Big thread on snet about missing turbos etc if so ( just in case it is the same guy and you werent aware )

Yes its the same guy I haven't paid anything for his work yet seams to be a lot of people not happy with him at the moment tried phoning him but not getting an answer .
