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!

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
