Well its a carbon copy of Elrodeo666's head which was good enough for 445 kw at 1.4 bar on -5's.

Have a look at the inlet ports on Brad's engine (SHOWOFFR32)... that is what they should look like.

BRB. I'll go tell the bloke that ported the HKS drag car that he did it wrong.

Go ahead... All I am suggesting is that the port looks polished from the photo.

To enhance mixture quality it is better to have a textured inlet port surface, especially considering you have massive injectors that wont atomise very well.

Well they proberbly are. But considering the guy has built mild to wild RB's day in and day out for the last 20 years, there must be a reason why he has done what he has done. Who know's what that reason is. I'll ask him in two weeks time when Marcus will sit him down and call me from Japan.

The guy in Japan who has done all the port/polish and r&d on the head has built more high powered full race engines, 9 sec drag engines and drift spec engines then most porn stars have ever had roots.

And yes its polished as well. Why..you'll need to ask him about it but as one of Japans top engine builders who has built 100's of high spec engines, I think he has a resonable idea of what he's doing.

But hey everyone has their opinions.

And Paul its 445kw @ 1.3bar

Just to be clear, your talking flow from a polished port vs fuel atomisation from a rough cut port right?

I figure the rate that Paul's car drinks E85 it probably won't make a lot of difference when its on song. Its not as though there are a lot of injector options to provide a streetable 2lt/min injector flow. The value of optimising fuel atomisation from porting/polishing methods could probably be weighed against the options available for injector spray patterns for similar effect.

Theres more going on with this head than just a port /polish job.

Been all machined up at Naprec to HKS race specs and then some custom work by HKS.

It has been designed purely for response and slamming his arse hard back in the seat and fro getting around a track nice and quick.

Pauls head has a bit more done to it than mine and has been built to handle 600~650kw if he ever chooses to go down that path.

Anyway this is Pauls build so wait a few weeks and he'll let you see whats what and at the end of the day it all comes down to what it does when it's all bolted together and tuned properly.

It will be interesting to see how it all ends up..

Hopefully one day maybe a V-cam and those new turb's that Gav has, it would be quite an animal.

Unfortunate about the old engine!

But it will certainly be interesting to see how this new setup performs in relation to the old setup. Especially with the addition of the new head. What sort of port job was done to the old head?

My mates car runs low 9's with a near std head, ports are just cleaned up. Makes about 880rwhp. What bigmikespec has said holds true, port finish 101 regardless of head type or setup usually doesn't go any finer finish then 80grit. Polishing the surface slows air speed and ruins mixture motion through the port. But maybe this particular guy has a formula that works for him and it goes against the theory that everybody else in the world works around. It will be interesting to see if it makes a difference or not.

Gotta keep an open mind about everything!

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
