Here is a link to a video of the machine at work.

5 Axis Headport Video

It is interesting (for a non industry person) to see the bit being held still while the whole head is rotated. From memory there was a thread about this going back 2 or so years ago but nothing came out of it.

So i haven't seen any local information on who offers this in Australia. However, if the gossip is correct then Trick and Mansweto in Sydney may be the people to speak to about this.

Kostecki engine centre in Perth do cnc porting - unfortunately no programs for jap stuff so I am told.

I got quoted $3,300 for my sr20 head through someone my tuner knows on the eastern states. He mentioned they do the v8 supercar stuff. However, it took months to get the quote by which time I had the head hand ported.

Performance Wholesale has 3 x 5-Axis Deckel Maho CNC machines along with 2 x Newen Epoc Contour Machines for bowl/seat work and also Renishaw Digitizing Machine. Not to mention Flow Bench, Cam Doctor, Digital Valve Spring Tester, Spintron machine etc etc. I'm pretty sure they are booked months in advance for work.

Cheers

Marty

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
