Boostd..

Also removed the intrusive port bumps on the exhaust side of the head
Also some of the bumps near the outlet are purposeful to direct the airflow around a the bend, these need to be smoothed rather than removed.

So you removed your exhaust bumps and later was told or realised that they are functional?

Mine are still there but they have been reduced and smoothed.

Just some random pics from when my head was off a few weeks ago, was replacing head gasket, and while the head was off i also got it reconditioned including vavle stem seals. As far as i know, the head has not had any performance work to the ports, its only been cleaned up.

Plus a video of us replacing the head onto the block...

I have higher(700k each) quality pics if anyone wants..

Hi mambastu, did you equalise the capacity of the combustion chambers?

No. To be honest I didn't really want to mess around with the combustion chambers too much so I just smoothed all the chambers slightly to remove a few small casting marks.

Hi mambastu, so you could have 62 cc's in one combustion chamber and 63 cc's in another? That's 9 to 1 compression ratio in one and 8.8 to 1 compression ratio in the other.

mmmmmmmmm?

Well at least it might not detonate in a few of the cylinders then :D

Are you telling me that Nissan deliberately left very small casting marks in a couple of the chambers and allowed for it ?......I don't think so...

Its not perfect but as I said I have removed very little material from the combustion chamber i.e no de-shrouding and I have not favoured any particular chamber. As you can see from the pictures the combustion chamber still has a slight cast finish so I haven't done much more than a polish.

I haven't measured port volume or shape either....how many head porters really do ? Not many I would guess.

This isn't the first cylinder head I've done and I've had good results in the past. I'm sure I'll be over the moon with the results. :uh-huh:

I understand you work at/own a company that sells products in Australia (and thats cool) but I don't and I'm not spending the £800 + that UK companies want to port an RB head. This isn't a head for a race car that needs every last bhp. This is going in my road/occasional trackday S13 and its to a fairly tight budget. :)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
