Hybrid header RESULTS?

[john1320]

Hey there, did we get any results back from members on dyno #s after installing the hybrid header? I am willing to invest in this, pending worthwhile
improvements on the 2.2 family.

What's a hybrid header? This isn't in the 16v conversions section, so I'm guessing it's not a header for people running the hybrid DOHC heads..

I'm sorry, I miss- typed, This is the turbo header for 8v 2.2s from TU.

i dont think there was a back to back dyno done, yet.
i already ordered mine, its nothing but an improvement over a stock unit. lol
if your running a to4 compressor cover, its almost a must.

una, nice avatar..... sorry to hear about that, good numbers at the dyno though.

The track opens in April here and that is what I am waiting for. I installed my TU header last year just before the season ended. I was rushed to get ready for race day and my efforts proved fruitless. My lower intercooler hose kept popping off and then the rains came.
I did iron it all out before "hybernation" and the car responded well with the header. I had to add a lot more fuel via fuel pressure to keep egt's down, so there is improvement with this header.

I have just replace the ported exhaust manifold with the TU header so this will be a "test of just this one component only" deal.
I also have their 3" swinvalve and 3" downpipe that I am waiting to install so I can get the exact HP. increase. Should be interesting.
