ka24e intake & header question..

[onefine,fivedime]

i have a header for my single cam ka, went 2 put it in but having some trouble, plus my eyes may b f'n w me but the angle looks like its gona hit the steering linkage. ive been told that it may be a truck header.. can anyone tell by the pic?

also, is there such thing as a required distance that the MAF sensor needs 2 be from the throttle body? ive heard 20",17",14" all kinds of stuff! but ive seen 510s w just a 90* elbow so i wana know b4 i start fabricating mine =) thanks alot!

Looks like a truck header to me. Here is a pic of the pace setter on the KA that we pulled from a D21.

yeah +1 on truck. All 240sx aftermarket headers ive seen are either weird 4 to 1 with a downpipe or the 4/2/1. ive never seen one like that

 

whatever brand

Oh and just and elbow should be fine for maf.. i ran my sohc and dohc that way. I think the 16+ is only really a neccesity when you are boosted.

Just agreeing with what norcaldime said about the maf. It makes a little difference on N/A but not to much. I have my ka24de that way and runs fine. Idle gets a little jumpy sometimes because of the turbulent air and maf reading a little more air than it should making it run a bit rich. But not bad at all. Not bad enough for me to make a longer pipe.
