I would think so, the only diffrence is the internals of the engine. the headers should fit with no problem, unless they are USDM version..

Can somebody check or give me some light about the header issue. I took the car to have a custom pipe made to try out the car without th muffler. Being under the car I told the guy at the shop that the next thing that I wiil do to better the performance will be a header, and he told me not to because the fit already has a header (not a big ugly maniful) and he told me to look and it is true , it has a 4 into 1 header, so I belive that the power gains will not be as in former hondas or nissans that when you put a header in them you could feel the defference right away. please some technical help here.

You have see good results, more HP and see a Fuel consumption decrease(more low) ?

You must put a O2 simulator ? Or on the L13a we have only one A/F sensor ?

I'm still testing the car...
I have panel air filter, 4-1 obx headers, sporting cat, without central silencer... and mechanical O2 simulator on the second lambda (of course).
I'll let you know about fuel consumption in 500-600 km
The first impression is that the car accelerates better at every rpm and reaches the red line very quick, but I'm afraid I should adjust the air/fuel ratio... I think It's become a bit lean...

Okay, thank you.

The mecanical o2 sim from OBX ?

I think yes (come a bit lean).

My actual fuel consumption is same you 500-600km, but without Race Header and Filter.

This is the O2 simulator I bought. It works perfectly....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...%3AMERFB%3AIID

For every question about OBX products I asked Alex. He's very kind alex.hom@sbcglobal.net

I like these headers a lot.... their price is very honest and their quality great.

Anyway I think I'll build a circuit for tmap sensor to adjust fuel ratio....

I'm really satisfied.... after 1 year
I upgraded the car with air filter kit (home made), apexi air fuel controller, double exhaust, light crank pulley ecc.. ecc..

You can found o2 mechanical on ebay easily..... for 5-6 $

For intake, you had put a pipe for take fresh air and a K&N panel or a pipe with custom CAI ?

Good gain ? the fuel consuption is less or more ?

Pulley are good ? what vendor ?

You have really maked gain with apexi ? I have ear this make only change the MAP sensor value and can make a lot HP loss.

I should take some pictures to show you the work. I used a universal air filter and inox steel pipe 60mm
Fuel consumption is less. I use a LPG system. With 20-22 I run 450 km...
Crank pulley is from Summit 龍穎國際產*有限公司
When you configure apexi you have to know when and what modify of your tmap....
Hp losses?
My car is a missile!!!!
