Had a chat with Gerry a little while back about flow benching my head after i finish porting it, after a brief chat i realised i would get them to do all the head work as they know their shit and RB heads are done there on a weekly basis.

i went to Perth yesterday and took up my head and parts to suit. not sure if it was just because it was a saturday but 2 guys took an hour out of their time to discuss with me my intended output and all the modifications they recommended to do a good job. there was no pressure to spend lots and everything was explained in detail. they showed me around the workshop and got to see a dozen port jobs on various heads and i was blown away at the quality compared to the crap i had done to mine :whistling:

pricing was good too and as they do so many RB heads they said they would swap out any lifters with the wrong lash with spares they have. i can also swap the valve stem seals i got in the gasket kit for the better ones they are going to use.

Gerry is very helpful on the phone and worth talking to if your considering any head work. im looking forward to seeing the final result :thumbsup:

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
