Need a header for my 1987 fx16 - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

evlares · 09-11-2008, 10:56 PM

but i cant find a listing anywhere for one...only 1988 and up. Will the later one fit with no mods, or am just out of luck? Thanks in advance, Tim

I'm pretty sure a AE92 one will fit, but i can't say with absolute certainty. I fit a 20v header on mine, but that needed some mods.

Will it work for a FX16 GTS?

If your still looking for a header try Pace setter. Do a search on google. I got one for mine and mine is for a 4age 88FX-16 GTS. But my car is a 87FX-16 with a JDM swap 4age. Thats the only one that fits from pace setter. Hope this helps

I'd avoid pace setter brand. They tend to rust and crack very quickly.

Why do you NEED a header? The stock manifold flows really really well. A header isn't going to make you much horsepower, but can lose a bit of weight which improves handing.

The thing to do with an FX if you want more ponies is to do an ae92 smallport swap. Or a GZE if you can find one.

Headers always make more horsepower usually about 10%.

Really? Do you have a dyno chart to prove this?

buffalohunter7321 · 08-25-2009, 09:56 PM

Really, I don't know for sure how good they are, because this is my first ever header and it has been on my little FX-16 for about two years now and no problem yet. But it is rusty on the serface and the paint has all burnt off it, but no crack's.

yeah im with brian on this one, i have a 20v header on my 16v and i can honestly say i dont feel a difference, if there is one

the only reason for my to change the header is if mine is cracked(which it was), or if the flex pipe is busted, in both cases its cheaper than getting a toyota replacement part,

for these cars it better to search for the engine specifically than the car itself, type in 4age anywhere and BAM ass loads of parts, engine management whatever,

if you want a power increase get Cams, but theyre pricey
