I've started a group purchase on SQC for headers. If anyone is interested please check out the link below. I posted dyno runs and pictures of the prototype.

Probably not any good to those of us with 2 litre motors...

^^ I was going to say the same but I thought I would get shot down by the handful of 2.6 widebody owners on here.. although they would probably realise that the 2.6 motors are utter shit and not to bother modifying those boat anchors, hopefully in lieu of an impending 4G63 twin cam conversion :P

LOL

rofl Damn DG you bet me to it.My thoughts exactly rofl

plus at US$ 400 id like the wastegate to collect off all 4 cylinders rofl

u probably would get shot down for the last remark tho :)
While the 2.6 has its flaws, they're far from "utter shit". Lots wouldn't be
modifying and enjoying them for years if they were. 2.6 its advantages.
More tq than the 2L sohc, and a different power delivery than the twincam 2L.
In fact, the twincam 2L converted starquests posted on SQC have not matched their
2.6 counterpart ETs, mod for mod!!! so what will a twin cam do "better".... rev more ?
A few 2.6 powered old school rides have 9sec ET, with no expensive or exotic effort
or parts. Doesn't get any better than that for a full street car.
Don't underestimate the G54
Fortunately I own/like all three

uh dude.. I was taking the piss - don't take everything so seriously!

I think I was more outlining the fact that hardly any of us here have 2.6 engines, and the few that do are probably going to leave theirs stock, or ditch them in favour of twin cams

Hi Quest it's good to see that you have a thick skin and don't get upset easily :beer
I guess that each engine has it's good points and you guys have spent a lot of time developing the 54 whereas we prefer the 63
the important thing is our passion for our cars and that can't be a bad thing

Well if most of you have 2.0s that's fine. I know there are some 2.6 quests there and there's no harm in offering a product. If you don't want/need my header that's fine. I'm just giving people an option.

Yeah im a member of here and SQC and as far as im concerned anyone offering parts for these cars should be praised due to limited nature of parts available now.
And as has been said, not many here do have the g54, but theres no harm in asking as far as im concerned.
ucw458, good on you for offering another product and hope you have some success with the header :)

^yep seen the crap he went through to make these, its a top effort.

Just that our dollar being worth half of the US and with shipping costs, be cheaper to custom make one.

I know I'm gonna need one next time I remove mine, so I won't, ever.

I guess I just didn't think about that. No matter what country we are from sometimes we live in a bubble and don't think about things like currency exchange rates. This is what wells fargo came up with for currency exchange.

395 United States Dollar (USD) = 492.51 Australian Dollar (AUD)

Shipping would be an extra $45 US = $59 AUD

Yeah i worked it out to be $524AUD + shipping or $667NZD for us kiwis.

then you don't have a right hand drive car to test fitment, so could have clearance problems with brake & clutch hydraulics.

you'll find more 54s on http://www.sigma-galant.com/ but... enough capable oz/nz folks can knock up a manifold for locals

exactly what I was getting at. Clowning or not, a 63 can ride on its own credentials, no need to thrash the 54. For hard street acceleration, I know I certainly wouldn't replace my 54 with a 63 twincam

what the hell did i do?? why bring my name up in this??

(i'm kidding.. in case anyone can't tell)
