PPE Engineering Headers Installation and DIY - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

JDKane527 · 04-02-2013, 10:58 AM

Car threw a CEL light this morning. Codes were P0134 and P0030, both dealing with the first O2 sensor that I extended. When I clear DTC, it comes back a few minutes later. I'll have to check the connection to see if a wire got loose. If the crimp connector got loose, I'll probably just solder it to be on the safe side.

Edit: Confirmed 3 of the 4 wires to the first O2 sensor became undone in the crimp connector. Will be soldering in the evening to fix this. Car still runs and hasn't entered limp mode.

Cool bro! Don't forget that video. Too bad this drones but I really want to hear what it sounds like.

I love the construction of the headers but I am concerned about how these will look in a year.

The last set of Hedman Hedders long tube headers on my '68 SS I had were black-coated when I bought them. They were rust-coated in 6 months.

I got some video footage, after work I'll upload it.

Went home during lunch and took off all the connectors and soldered connections. CEL went away after clearing it and there's no codes.

Awesome bro!

Holy Shooot I'm sold on these headers ! the finish looks crazy can't wait for the dyno #'s.

may i know what did it cost ?

That looks great...nice writeup. Can't go wrong with PPE. The coating covers up those nice TIG welds, solid job for sure.

Ppe makes some good quality parts, had themon my celica... Loved them

JDKane527 · 04-03-2013, 11:40 AM

The audio I got was bad quality and I noticed there was a leak in the connection between overpipe and front pipe. The way the exhaust sits naturally, it wants to sit high on the car. Installing the bolt through the bracket that connects to the front pipe pushes the pipes down, and caused a leak to develop on the top section. When the car was idling with the hood open, exhaust bubbles could be seen escaping. Retightening everything after a few days is normal as everything has settled in place. Now everything is tight and no visible leaks are present. Smells a little better, but with 1 high flow cat, there is a noticeable scent. I'll get audio off my phone to get you guys an idea how it sounds. Driving with a light foot helps keep it quiet. It's easy to make it roar haha.

Here is the graph from the dyno dynamics at KT Motoring. Measures lower than dyno jets and only marginally lower than mustang dynos. Peak power was 163 whp average. They haven't seen a stock 86, but I saw a graph posted by Dynosty that their stock FR-S made 153 whp peak. I'm interested to see what the midrange comparison is like.

They were a chill group of guys that have worked with John Visconti on a few occasions.

After playing around with Paint, I was able to line up the graphs to get a comparison.

Thick blurry red line is stock run, and the other 3 graphs are with mods.

The torque dip occurs earlier in the power band. Midrange picked up 20+ whp between 4k-6125 rpm, and close to 30 ft-lbs of torque at 4250 rpm. There is a nice increase in overall area under the graphs.
