What sort of flow increase did you get?

When you put it on can you post the power gains and any increase in driveability etc...I am thinking about doing the same and would like to know what effect it has...do you have specs on port sizes etc after porting or is it just a general enlargement ...

Cheers

Did you use a flow bench to check for any gains? Enlarging the ports won't necessarily increase the flow, smaller ports often have higher airspeed and greater flow.

that must of cost u about 1G to do?

did u put in new valve springs, new lifters etc while u had it all apart?

didnt cost me anything as i work at a engine reconditioning shop. The ports r not enlarged much at all, just reshaped, i removed the portion of the guide that protrudes into the port, not sure if this will make much difference itself but made it alot easier to shape the roof. I tried to square up the port floors as good heads like 4g63 and ej20 seem to have really wide flat floors around the short side radius to improve low lift flow. The seats are done on a sunnen vgs, it makes the job so easy.They have a 70 degree throuting angle, 45 seat 30 then 15 all with radius. I machined the seat so as its situated on the valve right on the margin so i could bore the inserts out as mucch as possible without going to bigger valves. Ive got a mate who works at kelford cams in christchuch, he ground up some magic sticks for me, havent got the exact specs on me but i compared them to some gtr cams at work and mine have got 40thou more lift. Got new springs as well, they give me 70 pound seat pressure, and wont coil bind like the standard ones.
