B series header

[alldriverSiR]

jdm headers and downpipes are not interchangeable with usdm headers and downpipes...cuz i tried putting on a usdm gsr downpipe on my jdm b16 upper half...and the bolt pattern is different...but most b series headers should fit cuz i got a usdm header on my jdm b16 motor...and it bolts up fine...just that i have to fabricate a test pipe to connect to my catalytic converter....on my ef hatch....

ive got a usdm b16 header on my jdm b16 motor witha high flow cat and it works just fine! you may wanna do that so that way you can atleast tell a cop that its a CAT!

ummm yes they are, people put JDM headers on USDM cars all the time. im going to be putting the JDM ITR 4-1 on my USDM B18C1. you sure you didnt have it crooked or something?

he's talkin' 'bout those 2 piece OEM stamped header POS things.

Yeah- those might not be compatible, but the routings between the exhaust manifold flange and where the collector meets the catalytic converter are always the same.

okay i just bought a b16 head to put on my ls block can i use my b18a stock header until i can afford a new header . and when i get the money do i buy a b16 header?its a 90 teg

 

[cycloneb18c3]

yes the b18a header will work...may rattle and stuff, but works. its what I have runnin in my 91 teg/b16 swap.

i just did an ls swap at my 90 crx. i got a dc headers from a CRV. now the headers sits low and i had to have a muffler shop cut my greddy exhaust and put an S pipe so that i can drive it. Is this a normal problem with swaps or should i get an ls (b18b) headers...my car is slamed but when i had my stock d16 engine it never scrapes...i really need an answer on this so i can finally decide what to do

 

[cycloneb18c3]

a crv block is physically longer than a b18 block, so the header is longer, which is why it sits lower. It usually isnt a problem with swaps, but when you do things like run a longer header on a short block it happens. get a header meant for the engine then have your muffler shop make any adjustments that need to be made. like if you have a b18a-90-93 integra.

cyclone..reguarding you b16 swap ... i heard tegs were way to heavy for a b16 motor is that true or are you pulling hard?

 

[cycloneb18c3]

yea it really sucks. needs more torque. Im also running the LS tranny which is like another kick in the ass. I want to swap to something else, like a LS/vtec maybe cause I still have my LS engine, and the B16 head, or maybe an h22 swap(but thats gonna be a bitch). Im getting a turbo soon, so once I do Ill run it on the B16 until I break something, then Ill install it on the LS/vtec and be happy.

no its not. the CRV block has the exact same deck height as the LS/GSR/TypeR block. so the header wont be any different then the LS. the header from the GSR/TypeR will be slightly longer because of a deeper oil pan.

Durr.... wow, I didn't know the B20 had a longer block, even though the B18 and B20 have the exact same rod length and stroke length- hell, even identical crankshafts and crank mounting locations! Gee whiz...
