Default an1 able to get NA headers out from the top?

I searched a little but only came up with "best headers for NA S2k" stuff like that.
I think I read its possible just still has to be far enough up in the air so it can rotate.
Thanks for any input or comments.
Have a good day!

I've had several headers and you just have to try them. I currently have the extra long Hytech supercharger header and it went in from the top. The Toda went in both ways. It helps to loosen the motor mounts and pry the engine over while slipping it in. Pull the valve cover.

I have 13 years of supercharger/S2000 experience. If you are going FI then I suggest you do the header now and have that done prior to the supercharger install. Do the SC install in stages. You can get the fuel done as one stage, oil return may take time depending on how you are doing it. I suggest pulling the pan and welding a bung if it is engine oil fed. I took mine to the Dealer and had them swap the crank pulley for me. Worth every penny. You can do some of the aftercooler and electrical before starting the "install." Take your time and do it right.

Doing the install in stages makes sense if you can preserve drive-ability between stages. It tool two of us with 4-foot breaker bars to get the crank pulley off the engine of my buddies '02 a few months ago! Splayed my 3/4" bar at the pivot.

He removed the exhaust manifold to fit an additional AFR sensor and it came out and back in from the top. He's still fighting oil-lubricant seepage where the SC oil line comes out of the block to the SC. The thread there may have been cross threaded with a former owners turbo charger install. I don't recall him brazing a return oil line to the pan so I'm guessing it's via a hollow drain bolt. No leaks there, just at the engine.

Yup lol. ^^^ anyways came out through the bottom lol with a scissor jack
I had safety blocks so no flaming please we all lived.

Canton oil pan installed for return.
Boy was that fun I'm getting to old for this crap lol pulled an all nighter with a friend to wrap her up in about 12 hrs I'd say including wash afterwards. Exhaust manifold and downpipe had some pretty curse word fitment issues, the recirculated wastegate pipe was riding on a aluminum webbing on the block where it connects to transmission needed some buffing. And atleast three bolts are near IMPOSSIBLE to tighten. Wratchet, wrench, even a finger would of been nice. Lol but I digress. I'm happy looks good and can't wait for a tune.

Btw if ur dbw and using id1000s the flashpro is worth its weight in gold for a base Cal. Keep it in the vacuum and it's solid. I could cruise it in the negatives for as far as I would have to go with there ID1000 starting calibration. . . For a tune. Never the less great map from hondata.

And contrary to reputable forums "gurus" the back heater core hose bleeder was the only reason I was able to bleed the air out of my system.
I guess just don't always write something off because someone says it does nothing for you or your cause.
I had it parked on a hill, had it started, had it off, had the bleeder open when I filled, and then proceeded to keep bleeding forever nothing was helping until I finally said let me at least look for this dang thing, found it pulled it and it was done in about five. Trust me im not trying to bash or insult but I guess sometimes people take a little trust in others to kno. Hey this guy has been around the ropes he must kno. Ya screw that back bleeder it does nothing cause blah blah. Lol I digress have a wonderful night sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings.
