Amemiya Headers
Does anyone know of anyone or has personally experienced the headers that Amemiya has put out recently for the 8? If so fill me in, I am considering buying them but they are quite steep but hp costs $ so I may be willing considering the gains. Please chime in if you have any type of info. Thanks as always to the best car forum on the net!

I was thinking of having a set custom made by one of the best, but I heard that headers don't do much if anything for a rotary. Wonder if there is any truth to that.

headers do plenty for a rotary, but none on the market do much for a renesis
this has been covered at length recently, try a search |
Quick question about the 4-port motor:
I know that the siamesed port in the 6-port engine leads to complicated header design for decent power gains, but am I correct in assuming that the 4-port motor would not have this problem, and a more conventional header design would work? Learning as I go here :) . |
I would wait till Racing Beat comes out with their header.

ok, again, search. please stop attatching value soley to brand names without knowing how or why a product would be worth what you're paying for it. thank you. that kind of mentality is tolerated only in the "aftermarket" section (which is why i seldom frequent there).
the 4 port motors still have the siamesed exhaust ports in the intermediate housing, and this is the reason that the tuned length headers which Amemiya has produced and certainly other companies will produce won't be very effective: the middle runner is the wrong length. for intimate technical details consult rotarygod's writings. don't worry about a header, especially when: A) it's after a list of other things which are cheaper and more important to change with this motor if you're looking for power ... and... B) when they're largely ineffective as it is anyways. waste of a few hundred dollars. get a canzoomer instead. |

Originally posted by rx8miami I love the fact that $600 will get you a 30 hp gain with CZ but it still looks too good to be true until I am proven otherwise. Factory engine tuning is much more advanced than it was in the 80s - for performance tuned engines, the manufacturers have left much less on the table for the old standard intake and headers to gain. Further, without ECU tuning (a la Canzoomer), even if you could improve the breathing in and out, you won't make much more power. Regards, Gordon |
Originally posted by Gord96BRG Did you do a search here for the Amemiya headers as suggested? You'd quickly find that $900 that get's you a 0 hp gain proves that, so far, the name does not buy you any HP. They rushed something to market that is, essentially, worthless. Regards, Gordon |
