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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
