    Turbo header !!

    Im new to the forum and was curious who all makes headers for a Turbo 2.2 that will fit a GLH and how much power can you make off just a ported factory manifold ? Or is there major gains converting to the Aftermarket manifold or Header

    Thanks

    Re: Turbo header !!

    TU sells a good cast header, some will argue it's not needed, but I don't think one can go wrong with it, though a few guys have gone extremely fast with ported stockers.

    It's also worth noting that one of the biggest reasons this header was made is to shift the turbo over so a non stock turbo outlet will align/clear the head.

    Brian Slowe has built some very nice tubular headers for the 8v engines https://www.facebook.com/pages/Slowe...35008053205812

    10 seconds in 1/4 mile, whatever amount HP that a car needs.


    Here's a header you can buy

    That was in an L body right? Much more power would be needed to achieve 10 seconds in a heavier car. IE: Daytona, Spirit, LeBaron, etc

    Drill, meet race car.

    Any turbo dodge is going for 10 seconds or shorter will be highly modified and lighter than stock.

    True, but I doubt anyone can get a Daytona down to an L body's race weight

    I meant the weight you can achieve in an L-Body, not the stock L-Body curb weight. (Or there abouts, 2,200 I think is L-Body)

    But 2,000 lbs in a Daytona is damn impressive, lol.

    Most stockish L bodies are around 2500 race weight including the driver.

    Could you even fit a tubular header in a non modified L body? (omni)

    Yes, there is actually more room behind my TIII head in my Omni than there was in my Spirit. This was Robs header from his spirit that i fit onto my motor just for giggles....It had more clearance in my omni.

    That's not chopped liver. That went in my GLHS without modification.
