Cliff Notes:

GTS Headers $150
GT Headers $110

Up to 10 HP and 10 tq at certain points in the RPM band.
Pending for sale date is March 1st.

Shipping is extra.

Send me your manifold and there are no additional charges. Otherwise there is a Refundable core charge

 

nice, so wat gave you the gains? flowbenching the header?

 

is it 150 dollars + send you our core? I was going to buy a header from you but then this guy has to ask his friend but i need the header asap. You think i can send you the header on thursday and get it back next week? How much will it cost not including shipping.

 

Boosted, lets see a few pics of the porting

 

doesnt blue bomber do this for like 75$?

 

why did you have to move to texas??? I would do in a heartbeat if you're still here in Carson!!!!!

Flowbenching is how I have been testing and proving the particular method I use. The porting job that I do is what causes the gains. The Flowbench numbers are a tangible measurement of the difference in flow.

Yes its $150 for the port job + send me the core. Yes, if you sent it overnight on Thursday I could have it back to you by next tuesday no problem as long as you are willing to pay overnight shipping. If it gets here early enough on Friday I might be able to get it back out Saturday. If you don't want to send a core up front then add the appropriate core charge for your model and model year. If you send the core back in a timely fashion then you get all of your money back.

I'll get some pics up tomorrow most likely

I seriously doubt it. I've got about $2.5K into this project in tools, materials and time so far. To my knowledge all the port jobs done up to this point have been done on the basis of "Hmm this LOOKS better" with no measureable proof of any kind. I also doubt they are doing the same thing I am or providing the same quality of workmanship.

Sorry bro - we had a kid and the whole single income thing made Cally untenable. Still Smaay can install the header no problem if you want to buy one, and if you paythe core charge you get a ported header up front so there is no down time for you car, then I give yo the money back when you send me your old one.

 

Oh - I forgot to mention. If you have some special setup on your car and you think there would be some value to the community to a before and after dyno of your car with this ported header as the only difference and you are willing to pay for said dynos, drop me a PM and we will talk about discounted pricing.

Basically I am looking for:

One car bone stock
One car with Injen and Kazuuma
One car with De-cat and some kind of high flow exhaust and intake

I am also sending a free header out to a gentleman with a CAI, decat, exhaust and Power FC to see what gains are there to be made with that setup.

 

boosted im interested in this, im guessing you dont have 03+ headers in stock? my car is going to be worked on for in about 2 weeks and i figured i coudl just take the header off and send it while it gets worked on, can pm me for more details please

 

im way interested. But what makes your ported header different from a normal diy ported header? i can port my own header for free with a die grinder, what makes yours so much better?

 

he has more time invested in research and is dyno proven..the diy jobs people do doesnt have any solid background or proof to it...im actually interested in this.

 

im definitely interested.

Actually you can't do it for free. Could you do it yourself? Sure. But you're going to have to shell out some bucks for new tools (I am all too painfully aware of how much at this point)

The header is cast iron and steel. Normal dremel and die grinder bits get consumed in a heartbeat. You have to buy specialty porting tools which will cost as much as the cost of what I do. Plus if its your first one its going to take you over 6 hours and the odds of you catching everything I have found that needs to be corrected and duplicating the finish I am able to create is pretty low. Plus teh time spent makes it very difficult to do in a day - your car is going to be down for 2 days at least.

And at the end of it all you will just have to hope its as good as it can be. I'm STILL testing to make sure that when the first ones go up for sale on March first they will make every scrap of power possible. I have already spent a couple hundred bucks on flowbench time alone.

So there you go - drop a couple hundred on some new specialty bits and a high dollar grinder and a compressor that can actually turn it, and then another couple hundred on some flowbench work to make sure that the job you did is every bit as good as it can be. OR you can just buy one from me, KNOW thats its right, KNOW you are getting the most out of the mod, and get it changed out same day without the callouses, cuts and burns to show for it.

BTW - the reason this is as expensive as it is is that I am having to buy $40 in specialty carbide bits and polishing media PER MANIFOLD to ensure the proper surface finish. Anything besides the expensive bits takes 3 times as long and comes out much rougher unless you spend another 3 times as long polishing.

Thats why I was finally willing to post pictures. I realized that even being able to see SOME pictures of the final product, as long as I kept the price reasonable, theres no reason to DIY - its just way too costly and time consuming.

Correct - I have no 03 GTS headers in stock besides the one thats going on the Lotus and its been modified to cap off the air injection line.

2 weeks will be plenty of time to turn it around.

 

now your dyno was done without a tune right? those are some pretty good numbers for the amount you are paying. i wonder how much increase you will get out of this with a tune.

Yup thats a bone stock 2003 ECU.

I expect the numbers will be downright awsome with a decat, high flow muffler and a power FC (or Camcon / em-manage for the 03 guys)

 

Boosted, lets see a few pics of the porting

Done - pics added to original thread.

 

you dont have any pictures of the ported collector do you?

 

would you be interested in doing a 3SGTE Manifold(if its possible)

 

Wow, impressive gains early in the powerband. That's what I like to see As soon as I have the money, I'll take one. Probably about a month!

 

would you be interested in doing a 3SGTE Manifold(if its possible)

If you send me the gasket, manifold and turbo I can port match all of it. Ideally you should also have the head port matched to the gasket.

 

you dont have any pictures of the ported collector do you?

You mean besdes the one I posted above? That bottom pic is one half of the collector (the sepreator plate blocks the other half from view - If I zoom out any more the collector goes out of focus)

Besides I'm not writing a DIY guide here - I don't WANT you to know exactly what I do if you plan on doing it on your own

 

uhhhhmmmmmm

 

this is definately a good idea...

let me see if i can dig up the cash for it, i want to be the first GT in line

 

uhhhhmmmmmm

Still confused? Maybe you can expand your question and I can answer it more clearly.
