Just Checking - MX3 Cyl Heads

They will bolt up to the 1.6 on the 90-94 323's however. And maybe even the 1.6's on the 85-89 323's
How confident are you 'bout the MX3 heads? I have a 1.6 8v SOHC 323 & think a head swap might be the cheapest/ easiest way for another ~20+ hp. (the only extra needed I can think of is a timing belt cover).

Any idea who/ where to ask about swapping the 1.6 16v DOHC Capri head? Thinking that might have a little more pop (especially coupled with the 323 9.3:1 compression).

I emailed Racing Beat a while back about makin some...said i wouldn't give up on it, but i guess i have - i highly doubt they'll ever make em.

Anyways, my PLAN for 'headers' is goin to be a ported and extrude honed xhaust manifold....and that MAY BE as good a choice as any?!

The stock manifold is a poor design. Plus, Extrude Honing is REALLY damn expensive for the gains. Also, the stock manifold is WAY too short to be tuned at all. Eventually ill have my custom one built...when that day comes, ill see if anyone is also interested. But for whatever reason, i have a feeling that ill have some decent interest in a header that will actually give GOOD gains...:shrug:
well, bummer! i know its xpensive, but i was thinkin that may be my best option. I can't put a header on my car AND it pass emissions - unless its got a CARB exemption...

But if you have one made, i def WILL BE intrested!

You cant put a header on? or you could only put on a header IF it passed emissions?
sorry Jesse...the California Air Resource Board - CARB - requires that ANY header have a 'CARB exemption' # if its driven on public highways... it doesn't have to be 'CARB exempt' IF its used OFF HIGHWAY, such as Autox, etc...

I would like a header that's CARB exempt, so i candrive it anywhere legally AND not have the hassle of taking it off for emmisions inspection every 2 years....they do a visual and the headers stick out like a sore thumb! one of OUR members knows all too well 'bout this if the headers have the CARB #, no problemo.

CARB is def GOOD for air quality, just makes itmore difficult/costly for manufacturers to put out good stuff.

Hope that clears it up and i didn't xplain what you already knew

Unfortunately, i will NOT be going through the hassle of making it CARB exempt.
Idea... you design the headers, Racing Beat makes 'em, and I'll pay for CARB exemption!!! hahahahahaha

in order to get a CARB exemption, you have to prove that the mod does not INCREASE emmisions...well, the bummer is that most WELL designed stuff doesn't; its just the manufacturers don't want to spend $$ and go through all the hassle...

Honda's 'course have got plenty of CARB headers to choose from; and miatas as well, including Racing Beat's.....
