1990 KA24E SOHC Headers?!

[240sxonabudget]

Could anyone please point me in the right direction for headers that are made for the single overhead cam KA? Thanks guys

i know KAE has a header call BB*** something forgot... i heard its the best one for KAE..next is OBX i guess...

[240sxonabudget]

ahhh thanks man saves me some heavy searching

They're tough to find nowadays, and you'll be sure to have to do some modifications on them. Do some google searches for "ka24e header". Greddy, OBX, Pacesetter, and random other eghey brands still make them; but you'll have to do some searchin.

btw, I just bought a second hand brand new, possibly ebay, header for my sohc and am working with the fitment now......Make sure you have a heat torch and crow bar ready.

Haha ya im doing some heavy seaching now. Why can't the f'ers just correctly bend it in the first place... Ya everything i find is either pacesetter or OBX. Theres also a BBP or something company making em for the SOHC. I havent heard much about them but they seem predominatly the same. thanks again

The real OBX fits fine, other than the O2 sensor hitting the firewall slightly. Hard to find new ones....

[240sxonabudget]

Ill have to see what i can find then on OBX ive just heard horror stories about OBX's fitting improperly. Hitting the firewall is no problem but if it doesnt line up or if it hits the stearing column. Any vibration or noise from the pipe hitting the firewall?

that's the only problem I had with mine.

[SirSilvia]

Ive seen like 5 different sohc headers and they all fit and bolt up fine. I believe they were ebay brand or hotshot brand. I have the hotshot on mine with a stock cat and a 3in invida cat back. It sounds good and makes good power too...

Your best bet to find one is make lots of local 240 friends or ebay/craigslist.

not worth the effort....

just get a catback... i mean, its just a single cam; no reason to build it up unless your doing a full rebuild/ turbo bolt ons arent gonna get you anywhere

Some people don't want it for the (maybe) performance increase. Some want it for the different sound it makes. Others may want it because a clean header makes the engine bay look cleaner than a rusted out heatshield/stock exhaust manifold.

[hbpignosePA]

did u honestly say ppl change it for the sound?



seriously man, you can make it sound like s*** by puttin on 3 in piping and a 8 inch can...



i hate 240 gen soo much..... oo and OP

its header.... just one and whoever suggested beating the firewall to make it fit, why bend the hell out of your car for something that isnt worth the time or effort?

just postin my .02 dont listen to me
