If he's "porting and polishing" the head for $660, then he's really only waving a die grinder over it briefly to clean up a few casting dags and that's about it. Either that, or he's got no idea what he's doing and he's just going to hog it out. Refer to my first reply on page 1. I reckon a decent porting job can consume $2000 easy.

thats what i thought thats why i posted that up to show the quote broken down a little -

then i was looking at this -

http://www.lewisengines.com.au/rb-nissan-1/

step 1 and 2 this seem like a good price,

but i am seriously considering this

Looks like no porting on that one though , try supeflow heads at Liverpool I've seen a rb25 he was doing looked pretty good to me, wherever u go I think you are within your rights to see examples of work. Like in west ends case I know they do some of jems engines but I doubt they will tell you that. Ask who ever you go with exactly what porting and polishing you will get for the price

buy my head, it will save u alot. i got a fully prepped 25 head sitting on my workbench, fully machined for a 30 bottom end.

was gonna use it but i dont know if i can be assed to rebuild another motor.

just get urself a new set of lifters and ur good to go.

i have a garret 35/40 at the moment but considering a change..

looking to run 360kw - 420kw.. may never get that hight but best to build motor to handle

are you sure you need the head ported, what turbo and power are you hoping to run?

Looks like a stock head would be fine with some Tomei cams

forget porting..my 26/30 makes 400 rwkw with 35r with stock head and stock rb30 block.

just buy this

or lash out and get the forged version

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
