Help building headers

[unknown007]

Hat to disagree but I will before anyone else grills you, This isn't a cheap car. this car wan't meant to roar unless you make it say above 5000 RPMs.

But really if you had the money you can make the girl scream all day, You just have to fix here too, can't have a pie and eat it too. Or can you.

But a 240SX with this engine, Well thats a differnt story.

A 240sx with a VH45DE is dope but with the cut hood i aint feeling it.You can have a pie and eat it and make it roar in the toilet hahaha..........But i just want custom headers and maybe gut out the resonators or replace with approved magnaflow cats.Something like that.Maybe,do i even have that much money?

Gonna have to pull a little racuals on this one.Gotta get the club together and jack trash parts hahaha................

But can you give me an understaning here, you want more sound but don't quite care about performance or what you get out of it.

What I think is best is to keep the headers (Yes People call the exhaust manifolds but they look the same as headers I don't see a differnce.) on there now gut the pre cats and put it back together trust me you will save some headaches.

At least clean the TB or EGR Valve or the AAC AKA IAC valve once you do even one of those you will know this car is alot of fun to drive but not so much fiun to work on. I mean there is worse but......

Plus for $30 you can clean all 3 get a hood for $100 see if insurance will cover the windshield hopfully somehow the hood and you will have a nice running car.

What im trying to say is performance i do want but if i lose power of course i'll just sell the headers. LOL but for the insurance thing ummm i have liability only my dad didn't get full cover because he said it's my and if i was to total it or crash someone then it's a wrap. KNOCK ON WOOD!!!

The hood all find is 250+ and the windshield 174 with installation.I also need the struts and hindges because they got bent also.This sucks.

Thats not bad on the windshield replacement. But the hood is expensive and thats used right? I am suprised the hinges are replaceable on this vehicle.

But with the headers that sounds like a good palne and who knows if they work out for you you might want to do a group buy.

I hear pounds of dough coming towards me No to think what can i use it on hahaha.To make a group buy woah that'll me days to make.

Well yeah the hoods used from a junkyard unless i can find me a mexican in there since im latino (not mexican)they usually hook it up.Good to know spainish.

We'll see how this works out.I hope i'm able to get money for my camber arms etc too since i been wanting to lower the car asap.

Incase people think im doing to much heres what im doing/planning:Lowering:Main thingHeaders:Call it an auto class projectRepair:COMES FIRST

Sounds like a plan gentlemen?

... the windshield 174 with installation

I guarantee you that is not an OEM windshield andit probably won't seal correctly. There is a greeat thread on OEM vs. aftermarket windshields.

May I suggest you learn how to restore and maintain before you modify? You are trying to fly before you have learned to crawl.

The windshield that was on it was already replaced once.If it doesn't seal right i better get my money back.Or else somebody gonna get molly woped.

Restore eh?I think that cost more than modifying.Only thing thats really wrong with the car is well now the hood and windshield, the lifter ticking, and dents thats pretty much it.

read this about the lifter noise: zerothread?id=102790 and if that does'nt help you can always search.

Thanks haha your the only one going with me on this. Well i decided to just clean the manifold today the spider looking thing and take advangtage since i got no hood to clean and do things.

So you removed the plenum or just cleaned the outside of it?

will do it once my gf leaves lol you know how they are.

Hope your up to it, And be carefull not to adjust the throttle cable too much becasuse then you will have to see if the TPS sensor is within spec or not.

And make sure you have all 4 gaskets before hand (EGR, AAC, Base TB, Elbow gasket for the elbow the TB.

And I hope that all 8 runner gaskets (The spider gaskets) are good to use again because those will cost you.

This is no small task but good luck.
