For those with 4-1 header? (5SFE) Options

[kcizzle]

Hey guys who installed the 5SFE 4-1 header, may it be from Super Toyota or from eBay, did you have to adjust/redrill the bolt near the alternator bracket in the left most part? I have to losen the screw on the bracket, took off the timing belt in order to lift the alternator and insert the header. My problem is I cannot get the timing belt back because the header is now in place. Actually the header is a little too big for the alternator to be where its at before. I ended up installing the stock one again. My hands are very dirty, scraped and tired. I am very disappointed...

MR2 alternators are in a different place - where our PS pump is at so that's why you had that problem. I didn't have this problem when I made either one of the two MR2 headers I modified for the Celica for SSautocrap. Only mods I had to do were to shorten the downpipe portion of the header [cause the 5S sits higher in the MR2] and the whole b-pipe had to be reworked and a different mounting bracket added to it.
