I've read the threads in the search, but wanna clarify and make sure I am getting the right thing for my specific application. I have a carb'd (not that it matters) EW1 in my '85 and want to get a chikara header. JC Whitney has one for $179.99 + shipping.

84-87 Civic, CRX Si 1.5L
Primary tube: 1-1/2"
Collector: 2"
#EAB265560 (painted)

Is this the correct one? Is there a cheaper place to get it?

I should also get an Si oil pan, is that all I need?

Thanks!

That is the right one. You need the Si oil pan. You also need the Si catalytic converter (magnaflow sells a direct fit one) or the front bendy part because that header points right at a part of the frame or sub-frame. If you don't use a cat then you need a pipe with the same s-bend as the front part of the Si one. I am just about to make one of these because I will not use a 2" cat but a 2.25". I suppose I could supply one to you also.

Where do you get an SI oil pan?

[ChrisF-dude]

I reccommend spending the extra cash and getting the Torkstep Chikara header. You need the Si oil pan/pick up. I liked my Chikara.

The same place you get any other part: the Honda dealer, the Honda parts dealer online, the junkyard, a private seller, Ebay, etc.

Break into the Honda museum in Japan. Don't worry. Most of their cops don't carry guns.

2 more questions:

1) Is the oil pickup already in the Si oil pan or do I buy it extra?

2) With the Chikara header - will everything fit if I use a full sized radiator or do I need a 1/2 rad?

i think u buy extra..why not just port-polish the stock headers?hp increase better flow.

[rollz87civic]

The oil pick up is like an upside down snorkel with a screen on the end and bolts onto the oil pump and brackets bolt to the crank girdle. You must purchase it seperately.

YOu can use the either radiator.
