My mad TyTe JDM Ford Escort header... Now with install pics!!
 

so, I started on my header a few days ago. Drew the fucker up to ensure it would fit in the god damn car. I hate ford and their scrunched fornt ends. I can barely slip a booger edgewise between the block and radiator, let alone the GT28R I plan on stuffing in there.... but, thats what this is for:

Should give me the room I need to git-R-dun.

Im still working on the collector, but, its schedule 40 pipe, shouldn't crack:

your collecter halfes, have an adpter plate. awsome

Re: My mad TyTe JDM Ford Escort header...
 

i wouldnt run that collector, then again its going on a ford so it really doesnt matter ;)

Re: My mad TyTe JDM Ford Escort header...
 

ok, I'll bite, why wouldnt you run the collector? afraid it might work and my ford will make just as much power as your honduh? :8

Re: My mad TyTe JDM Ford Escort header...
 

No he wouldn't run the collector because its going to cause unneeded turbulence in the exhaust flow thus lower velocity, and then increasing spool time. You want gradual merging not an ssauto type of setup...

Re: My mad TyTe JDM Ford Escort header...
 

any longer collector and I wont have enough height to return oil to the pan or clear the radiator/core support... there is a reason I designed it the way I did.... I have to think about making the damn thing fit first, and flow good second. Escorts dont have a shitload of room in front of the engine like hondas do.. And the spacer between the pipes is to make it the same size and shape outlet as the turbo flange inlet. I could always build a log manifold instead.... :S

Re: My mad TyTe JDM Ford Escort header...
 

flow well, but regardless, the collector would be smaller had you not used that strip... I wasn't talking about collector length before, the way the collector splits and then is joined with a strip is stupid, why didn't you just weld it straight together?

Re: My mad TyTe JDM Ford Escort header...
 

because then the collector would be square, and T2 flanges arent square. If we are going to get nitpicky about it, the convergence angle of the tubes shouldnt be more then 7*, any more then 7* creates turbulence... My tubes join at an 35* angle....

Strip or no strip, its still gonna be lighyears ahead of a log manifold. :y
