Time To Do Some Head Work!

[Fanta pants...]

Sooo... I have managed to blow a head gasket on my r32 gtst and my new 32 gtr.. So, while they are off, I plan on getting some work done to them! Just after some advice from anyone who has modified the heads and what sort of gains you got?

I am looking to get them ported and port matched, also bigger valves and double valve springs if its worth it! I will be running standard cams!!

Cheers guys!

Take your head to an engineer. Have them recondition it. Bolt it back down with standard bolts and a standard head gasket. Bolt in your standard cams and enjoy everything that Nissan spent hundreds of thousands of dollars designing and perfecting.

Or, you can do all of that, spend $$$ on porting and bolt in your standard cams and enjoy the car that will feel EXACTLY the same

Or, you can just fix the head, bolt in some aftermarket cams, do no porting, save your $$$ and actually make some gains.

Especially the RB20 head, total waste of time that one

26 head, depends on the modification of the car now/future. If nothing major just a full reco will set you back quite a bit as it is (depending on the scalf of budget you had in mind of course). Certainly madness to go bigger valves etc - you're talking 4-5k just on a head. Better bang for buck on a set of turbos/ECU/AFM/tune/reco'd head etc etc.
