3.0 headers

[93Ranger4x4]

Was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some 3.0 headers, cant seem to find a place who sells'em. I found one website but then heard that after peopled ordered them, they were all on backorder.

thanks

WOW, didnt think they were THAT expensive, plus i dont think my 93 has an EGR on the stock manifolds.

heddman makes them for the older models and jba makes them for the newer models and yeah they are hella expensive

Thats just crazy, when i bought shorties formy mustang it only cost me 200 bucks threw jegs, and whenever i call jegs or summit they say no one makes headers for the 3.0 and i'm like yeah they do pacesetter, heddman, jba all make headers for the ranger, and they tell me that all they see are headers for the 4.0 no 3.0 headers.

get you some steel and a welder and make your own lol

Your truck ('93 3.0L) only has one option for headers, and thats JBA. No heddmen or pacesetter (pacesetter is worthless anyway) for ya. I just used a plug for the EGR on my headers for my '93 because I don't have EGR either.

thats what i thought too, hedman and assetter only made the headers for later models from what i remembered. the jbas are pretty good from what ive seen, i just wish i knew how far down or back they stuck so i could do some measuring...id like to put them on my turbo motor flipped but i dont know where and what angle the output would be.

So JBA huh? just wish they werent so damn expensive, whats the deal with the huge price tag on them anyways?With that amount of cash i could buy 2 or 3 things for the stang or the PSD, or even get a brand new set of 33s.

if you used those headers on the boosted motor they would fail from the extreme heat your best bet would be your stock manifolds flipped.

 

[rurouni20xx]

why would they fail under heat? they are made of dif metal that dissipates heat better if im not mistaken, the welds may have a problem tho. the reason i wanted to try them was hoping that the extra/higher flow would spool the turbo a lil faster. maybe im wrong in assuming that it would work that way but it was just an experimental idea.

There you go, right there.

Just curious, throwing a feeler out there.

Who would be interested in a set of Mid-length 3.0 headers for the ranger?

Im talking about something that would go into all the years and required a bit of modification, but not a whole lot. Something that could easily be tied in before the cats on a late model, yet be long enough too add some torque and HP to the equation, Anything should be better than the stock logs.

Between here and RPS, Ive been getting the idea that there is some demand for something like this, and there is a decent amount of 3.0 rangers out there.

Ive been thinking of building a set for my truck, then making up a jig.

They wouldnt be fancy, just some 16ga 1.5" tubing, .25" flanges, somewhere in the $200-$250 range.

I think that would be a good price, no?

i got this from one of my new turbo charger books and it says that NA headers are designed for maximizing cylinder scavenging not to maximize pressure and flow velocity. it also states that their materials in typical headers cannot take the high temperatures and stresses of turbo charging either. thats from hp books street turbocharging book

 

[rurouni20xx]

ive seen this and read up on it some, they say they wont since they are thinner material (i completely agree w/ this) but if they were ceramic coated/wrapped/ made of thicker material that should take care of most worries. the purpose of a header is to ease the flow of the motor, in a stock engine the manifolds aid in scavenging, boost it and it becomes somewhat of a flow restriction. by installing shorty headers (not crossed over just straight to collectors) you reduce restriction and temperatures but increase flow rates, which in a boosted engine is better overall since the compressor itself is a major restriction of sorts. directing the flow straight to the compressor will also help it spool faster and make exhaust flow smoother since there is less restriction at the heads for exhaust to flow. thats what i see and why i would like to try it. if this theory can be proven wrong id like to see the proof so i can understand why it wouldnt help.
