Need Head Work Done For 800hp Motor Build.

[ezy_09s]

^^ 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.

i believe Red R Racing are soon to have, if not already, started to get CNC porting done

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!

[fatz]

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.

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.

[fatz]

lol

head job!

[Rolls]

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

Back OT

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.

^^^ What ??...

Sounds like magic beans..

A good explanation would be nice...looking at their website all i see is two guys attacking a cylinder head at the same time with die grinders.

[R31Nismoid]

^ lol - same thing i was thinking.

digiporting : Using your digits to feel the mismatch between a cylinder head and a manifold

[wolverine]

When you turn 40 aren't you supposed to visit your doctor to get Digiported?
