6.2 "Stans" Headers Anyone???????

[rdohara]

Anyone out there have any input of the Headers that are made by "Stans Headers" for the 6.2 Diesel in a K5 Blazer

Ive never used Stans headers on a 6.2, but I have used them on small and big blocks. Excellent product.

I don't think you will notice that much of a performance gain that would be worth the $600 they want for them.

If there was everyone would be running them.

I called those guys to talk about it with them. They stated that "with a properly tuned pump and our headers you'll be within several horsepower of a banks turbo kit".

I'm doubtful even if you do turn up the pump to maximum as measured by EGT's... BUT they should help a bit... and be a small weight save... and look cool!

headers on a diesel are deff. going to look bad a$$.

 

[6.2Blazer]

From my understanding a N/A diesel would respond better to headers than gas engines would........but I have a hard time believing you could get anywhere close to the power of a turbo with just headers.

 

[blazerbones]

AGREED.

Within 7 hp of banks system with 2.5 duals and a properly tuned IP is what the manager at Stans stated to me.

I may get a set, but not because of that statement.

I guess another thing to keep in mind that you can crank up the IP quite a bit on the engine and get more power....but it would smoke like a freight train and not last long.

I would love to have a set of those headers to try out, but no way I can justify spending that much coin.

 

[blazerbones]

Yup. I think u can order those headers with a bung to accept an egt sensor... Then tune IP properly

What are the spec's on those headers as far as primary and collector size?

I've been thinking of trying hog out a set of manifolds at the outlet to get 2.5" true ID if possible, then run larger better flowing exhaust. My pick-up needs new exhaust anyways, and I have an extra set of manifolds. IP has already been tweaked upwards...

I'll ask stan's. I think it's 1.5 into 3.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

There's a guy over on The Diesel Page that swears by those. Has a very built NA 6.2L.

I'm not a big fan of adding complications so that's my main issue with a turbo...more crap in the way and less room to work in the engine bay along with more stuff to go wrong. Has me pondering but yes, $600 is steep...

 

[rdohara]

ok I just ordered a set from Stan’s I will have them in a week and I will post what think when its all done I am get them raw so I can weld a EGT bung on the header then going to send them to be Jet Hot coated

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Let us know!

 

[chubbynova]

I too will be watching this post to see what you think of the headers.

 

[stoney126]

Any news on those headers?

 

[blazerbones]

Interested in updates if you have them. I may not be far behind in ordering these.

 

[okieraptor]

I to would like to hear about these as I want a set and a super charger.

Yep my thoughts exactly

 

[rdohara]

got them on and also had them Jet Hot Coated full duel 2.5" with a cross over pipe looks and works good
