^^ Exactly.

Every shop will tell you how great they are & they know what needs to be done to the head.. but how many people or workshops have the runs on the board.

I believe RAMS cylinder heads in windsor have supplied many heads for CRD's big build engines.

But im not sure who paul from Red R racing uses for porting his cylinder heads ?..but its safe to say he has more than enough experience as to exactly whats

required as far as intended horsepower goals or times on the track..and he shares his knowledge which many others are reluctant to do.

head porting is done in house, and yes soon to have cnc porting as well. 1500hp engines need a well sorted head and paul does just that he gives you what you

want and some.

i would cut the middle man out and go straight to the head guy

10%+some profit is alot of money when your taking a 7k head

If the head guy is trying to run a respectable business he would not build/port a head and for an individual and undercut another person trying to run a business!

Assuming 10% gst +10% profit

so to ship a head to a head dude somewhere = $1400

i aint no rocket scientist but i recon i can box up a head ship it to a head dude with 20 + year experience for 50 bux

head dude still charges you the same, he still has the same results on paper

respectable business.... 80% people out there pay the head dude once cnc map their work then pump em out just tiding up the loose ends that the cnc cant reach..and claim the work as their own and charge 50 bux less

A lot of companies outsource work to others, if you're the machine shop, why would you not accept their work? You're just the machinist doing the machine work for a customer, if those customers turn around and say its their own work then good for them, that doesnt mean that going direct to the machinist is wrong.

99% are assemblers and get head work outsourced, you get the head done direct you save alot. Handfuls of big name engine builders all outsource to different head companies.

Head porting is a real art, don't go anywhere that can't show you proven results on a dyno.

The Guys down at Envy are doing a new head cutting method on all there heads. Its called DIGIPORTING. They are running a XR6T with one of their heads and it makes over 1100hp ATW along with a set of Platinum Race Cams and are only running it at 28psi of boost.They also have several other cars with great resaults with the same equipment.

Have a look at this earlier GTR they have done http://www.youtube.com/user/EnvyDyno#p/u/52/-THGNYiouWs

Have a look at the XR6T on this site as well its bull S##t.

Fill free to call Herman at Envy on: (02) 9907 4144 :(

If the machinist accepts the work based it is definitely wrong mate, think about it.

Anyway, what is DIGIPORTING???

Haha, ok, I'm "thinking about it" and as any one coming to a logical conclusion will come to, here's the conclusion;

Unless there's a contract in place for the machinist to not replicate a certain port job, he can do as many of those port jobs as he likes.

Its like I call up a local machine shop and get them to port a head. I can try and call it a steve ported head, but its not. It's someone elses work with a different label.

If one company though, goes and tests a heap of heads, then gets one digitised and agrees with the machine shop that only them are allowed to order that head, then the machinist sells that port job openly, that's of course very wrong.

It is only wrong if they are making a laser cad design of the head then replicating it without paying fees or at least asking that it is wrong. People resell others work all the time eg engine builders often don't disclose what parts they are using, they however didn't cast the pistons etc.

I agree 100% and that was the point I was trying to make :D

ah nice quest, i dont know the answer to that one but it has somthing to do with digitially matching the heads to the block and chambers. What ever it is it looks to work well.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
