Hi all bare with me on this one.  I have a project I want to have a nudge at but I don’t want to go into to much detail as I’m 99% it hasn’t been done yet. My question is as silly as it sounds is can you change what side the exhaust and intake port are on? eg. change it from exhaust on the right side of the head to left hand side and the same for the intake. 
 

one would assume a custom cam would be needed to get the exhaust and intake lobes in the right place 
 

im asking on here as I don’t have a head or the experience to work it out and collective knowledge always seems to work

 

 Cheers

lucas

I would say that that is a hard no. The shapes and sizes of the intake and exhaust ports are quite different, and you don't necessarily have the room to hog out the (small) exhaust ports to approach the size of the intake ports because the water jackets are quite close to the exhaust port walls.

Then you would have to look at whether it would be possible to fit intake sized valves where the little exhaust valves come from (which would require removing a lot of metal and you'd probably face a similar problem with water jacketing there) and then you'd have to close up the inlet valve holes to take smaller valves.

Just use a 1JZ.

You can do what i did send your head to Lewis engines and get it machined to suit your purpose it cost me about $4500.00 and it makes one hell of a difference

You swapped the sides of the inlet and exhaust manifolds?

Yeah, nah sweetheart. We'd be talking about $20+k of work here and it still probably wouldn't work.

I'll do it for $19,999 and bore it out to a 4L at the same time. 

Heres one i did earlier this week

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
