[quote=”Bighappy” post=52285]If you can find a set up, I would go with some headers for better exhaust flow. It doesn’t make much sense to set it up for more air and fuel if you have no way of getting it out of the engine once it is in. Allowing the engine to breath easier in most cases is good for a 10% to 15% increase in over all power on both the top and bottom end. Look in to a better intake manifold and headers. I think you will be happy you did.[/quote]
Pays to read the first post.
In English, it’s an exhaust Manifold, not a header.
If you read the above, it has a Janspeed LCB manifold. (Long Centre Branch) which will give the optimum exhaust flow for a big bore A-series engine. It also has a water cooled alloy intake manifold.

I popped of the door card and had a look. Well and Truly beeped.
I’ve ordered a new one from a Local Honda Breakers….
Been focusing on the Mini and its mass of frayed wiring.

Thanks Eric!
I need to get it fixed by sunday ideally. I’m the person on FB who passed the level 1 mechanics course.
Me and Dad are doing a 200 mile round trip, London to Birmingham for the first Mini Show of the year, Collecting a new front end and a pretty much new suspension set up.
I’ve sort of bodged it for now, by holding it up and pulling the switch up which has pushed it into the window seals properly, but we can’t open the window! In case it falls out at 70mph 😉
I’ll phone Honda UK tomorrow and see what they say, the HR-V is ridiculously un-popular in the UK and most bought a CR-V so I don’t know if they’ll have them still?

Here’s my build;
[IMG]http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t491/noahrobinson071/DSCF6720.jpg[/IMG]
1275cc N/A/ think thats 79-80 cubic inches.
Its got a full LCB (Long Centre Branch) Manifold down to a Single Silencer exhaust system at 2.5″.
Its on 12″ Wheels that are 5.5 Inches wide
It also a Kent 266 Cam and ported polished and gas flowed cylinder head with double valve springs.
It has a Alloy water cooled intake manifold on a HIF44 SU carburettorAn estimated figure at its power would be around the 65-70 BHP mark; It weighs just over 700kg which I think if my maths is correct is 1500 pounds. Which gives a power to weight ratio of 146bhp per tonne, I think. Could be wrong.
Any way, it goes like the clappers (british term) and it it handles better than the majority of the cars on the road today. If the ride is a little bumpy.
