Toda header replica


Yer they used to be around that pirce but i dont think toda europe have updated there list price since the drastic change in exchange rates.

For example Vtec-direct who has updated his prices to conform with the new exchange rates has them listed at £970.

If you can get them for £630 your laughing but i expect they just havent changed the prices yet.
 
Vtec-direct seem quite expensive on a few items though compared to some places i`ve looked through.
 
When we say TODA replica what are we talking about exactly?

The pipe setup, length, internal diamter etc? Are TODA headers known for better flow or HP/torque gains than the competition?

Also, in your honest opinion, would the S/S setup be better for us where they put salt on the roads etc? Also, does S/S not have better flow/heat/expansion properties compared to mild steel?

Sorry for my ignorance, I'm still learning when it comes to N/A tuning.

Thanks.
 
Gee,

The toda header is known for its quality and gains.... Its one of the more expensive headers and offers great performance for the B series engine..... But the price doesnt justify the very few extra HP IMO when other headers half the price will give similar gains.......

They give great gains and are made to the highest spec there welds are like artwork.

S/S all the way in england its not realy the salt as such although it does help rust mild steel by making moisture stick to it, its the fact that its allways wet this rust Mild steel very quickly. The flow/heat/expansion properties are not worth worry about.

To sum it up if money was no object most people would buy toda. In reality most of us dont have that luxuary so have to get the most bang for our buck.
 
Would the ceramic coating not help combat the rust?

if you want the best you have to pay for it, in the NA game every 1whp counts.

SS should last longer but mild steel actually expands less from what i recall...

Not disputing that. Just wondered why the TODA was replicated and to what extent.

So:

first run: stock headers 149 torque 153 hp
Second run: spoolin header no tune 153 torque 160 hp
finale run: after tune 158 torque 172 hp

Are these WHP gains or at the fly gains?

In the US and AUS, generally ATW HP is quoted, but generally in the UK, flywheel HP is quoted (I know WHP is more accurate).
 
Gee you can use the multi quote button to make multi quoting easier :nice:
 
OK..

Makes it easier for you to quote of my multi quotes I'm guessing? LOL

no it just makes it easier for you :nice: i can tell you are typing int the html codes like [ quote ] and [ / quote ]. It does not affect me at all, do as you wish :clap:
 
ceramic coated manifolds last a good long while the one we have on the K20 DC2 still looks like new

Thats good to hear, hopefully it will help other people who live in those climates more comfortable with owning a ceramic coated header, and it may save them a few $$ in the process ;)
 
yeah ceramic coated headers perform well too much like a heat wrapped stainless header,

Copied from Jet hot coatings site:

"ceramic coating will normally boost power when applied to headers or manifolds for two reasons. First, the coating promotes denser, more potent fuel/air charges by insulating the engine bay from exhaust heat. At the same time, it accelerates the pulsed-vacuum effect on “tuned” headers, resulting in more effective scavenging of cylinders. The increased velocity of exhaust gases produced by higher exit inertia not only clears each cylinder more quickly; it also draws in the next fuel/air charge more efficiently."

i expect the differences are minimal but still it all helps,,,,,,,,,

I also have a ceramic coated header for more than a year, it's a DC-Sports. Until now no problem, tha car is a daily drive track day use.
The other expirience with coated exhaust that I have is from a light plane that I own, I coated it more than 10 years ago and until last weekend when I saw it it was like new.
