Will be interesting to see what cleaned up standard size ports flow.

Standard Valves?

Yes standard valves.

I do want to make a note as john has said you can keep increase flow when measured on the flow bench, however it can go backwards with the final results on the dyno. He has said this many times.

Ive given up trying to learn lol, I can port match and clean up and thats all I'll do.

Sadly good head guys are going the same way as the old blokes who could tune and tweak webbers, and no-one does much of twincam jap motors so the envelope just hasn't been pushed like the old iron headed V8s (eg 800+hp Naturally aspirated on ported factory iron heads etc)

Well its never to late, Im sure John can give you the best description.

I had a go doing a head and tried to copy this head, his car is a r32 gtr silver one his name is Mamoon and the car is making 410kw at all wheels all ive done is the head port clean 1mm tomei head gasket and the rest of the internal motor is standard running on Eflex fuel , so i must of done something right. Also has low mount 2530 hks turbo dumps fuel system ecu pfc. His been on gtr challenge vids and almost won the powercruise drag battle in 2010.

Very nice stuff there Bobby. Im assuming John machined those v band rings out of a solid billet of stainless? Because that would have taken ages to do!

Yes john does make it out of solid billet and it does not take him that long. I will get a pic of the ring as you has said he machines it in a way where the flow is not affected and it locates with a perfect join.

Wow, I made mine from billet mild steel and it took me a good couple of hours or more to turn them in the lathe. But im sure his lathe skills far exceed my own by a long shot!

I made mine like this. post-12828-0-03741500-1320190295_thumb.jpg

Were his similiar to that maybe?

Yes i think that is how he makes it ill get an internal pic for you all.

One day ill do a video recording of john on the lathe you will freak out how quick he is and how precise he is.

A cross section of one of the intake and exhaust ports please, if you dont mind Bobby?

I manage to take one pic of a head that was sectioned, however this is not what you want, i ask John about the ports, he said he did drawings of the port , ill have to get this next week as he was busy at work today.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
