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!

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.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
