supercharged H22

[SNOOZE]

Yea it already feels better with the 3in.. I was looking at the tri y, or I think its called full race header.. its 4 pipes all the way under the oil pan to a collector. I'm gonna get one once I get my funds back.

Yeah it's called full race header and that exactly what it is

You guys are discussing the 4-2-1 and 4-1 header designs. Not really "full race" anything, unless it's made specifically for racing. The F22A1 has a 4-1 design (not exactly "full race"), and the F22A4/6 have a 4-2-1 design.

Yes Deev you are correct about it not being truely for racing.. full race is a ebay name for the particular header. But its actually pretty legit looking. Only a dyno would show true gains.. maybe ill do that when I get one.. dyno before and after.

Anyway link to said header. Oops its called RMF DRAG header..

Full Race as a brand is far more than an "ebay" brand. They're a legit tuning house that has built some truly impressive cars.

The "tri-y" header design that's been going around for the H22 lately has been nothing more than a rip-off of the HyTech design. Shameful, IMO.

RMF is quality. Randy Monroe is a well known name in the scene, and has made some great stuff. Randy, sadly, has passed away. I do not know if the headers are continuing to be made. Bisimoto has directly accused RMF of stealing a prototype design, though I have heard nothing more of that since the initial accusation.

Damn.. deev taking us to school lolol.. I didn't know all that, thanks for the info. Bisi header to me seems waaayy overpriced. Ill make my own before I buy one.

[deevergote]

I'd buy a Bisi header for the F22A... but nothing else. There are other H22A headers on the market that clearly make more power. Mugen, HyTech, SMSP, RMF... I prefer to stick to the originals, even though they cost more. It's cheaper to buy a knockoff, but that effectively kills our aftermarket. If we don't support the originators, nothing new will ever be designed! I hate knockoff artists with a passion, especially when they copy and undersell small-batch high quality pieces like those I mentioned above.

[cincy90h22]

Getting off topic here but..

I Totally agree. But there is always a balance between supply and demand and cost. If these company's price theirselves out of business, its their own fault. Volume is the key in running a successful business. Sell 5 at $800 or 25 at $500.. when it only costs $100 to make.

Anyways. I'm gonna get a legit header soon as I can afford it.

12 hours and counting til the madness begins

Definitely going to stick around for dyno results....

[SNOOZE]

Waiting for dyno results also!!

[cincy90h22]

OK fellas.. before I disclose the results, some info. I did not hit 300whp, nor 10psi, which had already figured I wouldn't based on the street tune the other day. With the 4.5in pulley that is on the charger it made 4.6 psi. My N/A setup made 195.4whp.. and the boosted setup made.......

Drum roll.......


246.6whp. 51 HP gain on less than 5psi. I'm happy with the results, for now. Now I have a baseline Psi/pulley size and can make some adjustments. Next up is a header and smaller pulley, but prolly not for a little while. Tq was 170 ft/lbs @ ABOUT 7500 RPMS, a little disappointing, cams are prolly to blame, but that was the highest tq got on any pull.

Ill post the graph later. It feels like a completely different beast. Very smooth, and responsive, and traction is an issue on the street LOL.
