    ZHP NA Project - More Power

    I'm planning on adding some performance mods on my ZHP to increase HP. At the moment the stats on my car are:

    Year: 2004 6 spd M/T
    Mileage: 250 000 Km
    Engine has been rebuilt from 0 and only clocks 25 000 Km
    Weight: 1500 Kg

    The car is completely stock apart from the exhaust being de-catted and i have installed K&N filter in the stock airbox.
    I've got a magnaflow x-pipe #11385 installed as a muffler sound amazing. The wheels are AC Schnitzer Type 3 8.5J + 15MM Spacers
    And a front upper strut brace from Europe (adjustable).

    After too many topics and reviews on what mods to first install i chose to start with headers as it gives the most power when comparing HP vs Money spent. I purchased ebay headers for a bargain price of 83$ They are made in china, so called supersprint replicas.

    Note that headers differ according models. 330/325 differ from 328/323. 330/325 is llonger with flanges rotated in different directions (check the picture)

    Providing that i live in Georgia (the country located in Europe), i have to ship the headers from USA back to Georgia. At the moment i am waiting on the shipping company to deliver the headers to me, approximately 28.04.2018 I am thinking on buying Ceramic Coat Paint to paint the headers, as not it only provides protection against corrosion but the heat won't be transferred in the engine bay and will remain in the headers thus increasing the temperature of the tubes resulting in expanded gases that will rapidly flow from the exhaust, in other words more hp. The reason i chose ceramic painting headers apart from wrapping them was that a lot of people posted burnt headers with holes in them due to wrap. (check the link: https://www.centuryperformance.com/e...o-not-use.html)

    The paint i chose is VHT Flame Proof that withstands from 700-1000 celsius degrees. (link of the product: http://www.vhtpaint.com/high-heat/vh...eproof-coating)

    At the end of the month i am planning on installing and ceramic coating the headers. I want to dyno the car before i install anything, if i do i will post the dyno graph.

    As soon as i have news i will update the topic.
