So yu got header(s) huh?? LOL when did you swap the V6 in to your car??? Juss for the future 4 cylinder cars use a header not the plural headers.

a V6? a b16a isnt a V6, its a 4-banger

Oh, I see what you mean, but it just doesn't sound right

do yourself a favour and throw on some extra sensors and stuff now, while the motor is still out. Its a pain in the neck/impossible to do it later. Things like drilling and tapping oil/water pressure/temp sensors for some nice gauges.

I regret not doing this before

Scar_GsR

oops my bad.. why is it so hard to put guages in later???

Rice Burner

Pain in the *** to wire some of them up later. Eg. to get the oil temp. you need to drill into your oil pan, easier out of the car then in!

johnny23toronto

Its not the guages, but the sensors that can be difficult, in particular the oil temp. There are apparently some good locations to put these near the oil filter area... I don't know exactly where for our cars...

But on my buddies chevy, we drilled and tapped a hole for the coolant temp thermometer sensor, and we simply unbolted a bolt (aka plug) for the oil temp sensor...

just my 2 cents...

cool well i am kinda broke after buyin this motor so i don't have any cash for guages and stuff so i have no choice but to do it later

johnny23toronto

Ohhhhhhhh. I know the feeling. I'm still limping from my B18B swap in January.

My girlfriend got a cheap-*** valenties day present and she thinkgs I like the car more than her. Well, I do spend more time with the car, lol.

Scar_GsR
