Which Headers are best for the 1.6 L GA16DE - Page 2

And to work out all those issues and not have equal performance as the HS. This is why I chose the HS setup.

Where is the best place online to get the HS header from other than HS itself? Are there any other companies selling it?

I heard that www.digitalracer.com used to carry SR20 headers, not sure on GA16 model. Just checked their site and they don't have anything listed for "Hotshot". Maybe they are out of stock?

Why would you want to work with them if they are being so stubborn? It doesnt sound like they even want our business. So if they are not willing to do whats best for the consumer then thats on them, and they arent getting a dime from me to get their meager power gains.

I don't know if they want our business or not... I don't make assumptions like that without verifying with the source (this being DigitalRacer). All I heard was that the owner of this site owns or at one time did own a G20. AND that they did provide a HS header for SR20DE motors. Maybe if there was some additional talks to the owner of the site about GA16DE headers, something could be worked out.

BTW, you claim Hotshot gives "meager power gains"... at least that is how I took your brilliant post. Please enlighten me, everyone on this forum, and those respected mechanical engineers/Nissan gearheads that performed the dyno on how their dyno-proven specs are meager.

Ha ha ha. Observation is key. I was referring to the Pacesetters if that answers your question. Need more elaboration?

No no no... that is pleny of "elaboration". I just couldn't tell at first that you were referring to the Pacesetter portion of this thread, since the previous post (mine) dealt with the topic of Hotshot. My dearest apologies.

I do agree with you that Pacesetter is a horrible ripped-off design from another blueprint, and I would never give them my money.

Right on. Now we are on the same mind set. Apology accepted.

Maybe you could be a lil more clear as to what you are posting about....I couldnt tell what header/company you were referring to either.

200'side · Jun 10th, 2002, 03:48 PM

Hmmmm, maybe. No gurantees. But since it didnt put the quote their for my reply, not gonna put all the blame on myself.

Black200SXSER · Jun 10th, 2002, 03:56 PM

Not putting blame anywhere...just be clear on what you are saying, and you wont end up with misunderstanding.

200'side · Jun 10th, 2002, 04:10 PM

Agreed ... somewhat.

ANYWAY. WAY OFF TOPIC NOW. Lets get this moderated. Which headers are best for the 1.6L GA16DE?

myoung · Jun 10th, 2002, 05:33 PM

The Answer: Hands down Hotshot makes the best GA16 headers on the market.... without question.

There are cheaper ones out there...

You get what you pay for..

It's like anything else.. You can buy the Walmart Shift Knob or you can buy a Momo... Just don't try to coinvince people the Walmart one is just as good... cause it's not.

200'side · Jun 10th, 2002, 05:40 PM

Ha ha ha. Whats the cheapest anyone has seen HS headers for? Me ... $415. Im sure it would be worth it since they are the best out there, so if thats all I could find 'em for then I would spend the money.

Walked out the door with a brand new HS Gen 4 for $318.00! that is with tax included Yo!
