I'm in the early stages of setting up a deal to have some heads CNC ported. These heads will be done on a 5 axis CNC machine and flow figures will be guaranteed to be the same for every port. It's a pretty costly exercise to set up for and I'm wondering if people would be willing to pay to have it done. The porting should cost between $800-$1100 per head, cheaper if it was a batch being done.

The port design will be hand ported and then flow tested until it is spot on and then digitised. It will be a few months before anything will be ready but I just want to know what sort of interest there is out there.

yeah me to just finish hand porting mine last week and the head has been rebuilt but i will watch this thread with interest.

Getting the first ports right would be the time consuming part i guess and the gain over std would be the selling point, it might be worth flowing the std port and develop the template ports inlet/exhaust as if you have flow test showing the increase of the port design in question it would be alot more easy to justify the cost if you know you will get x amount of increase flow (you know what your buying so to speak)

Great again to see someone trying new things with sau great stuff proengines

There are already a few places offering this service on RB26 heads, but you are going to find that there is substantial core shift on the castings. Rough CNC and hand finishing/flowing is probably the only real way to do it if you insist on using CNC machinery.

Yeah I noticed that too. Two years old :)

I would be interested at a grand or less for CNC porting (knife edged etc)

But, would want before and after bench flow results of CNC porting to be used before sending the head over there.

bit more background as to whole topic and why i am so interested.

That pricing looks familiar to a site in the states that can provide all that. Also there are two places in the UK that do it day in day out.

One of the UK guys is an ex formula 1 engine builder / machinist

and the other place has been pioneering machining and building race engines since the 70's...

its just the cost factor to get it there etc...

I just want a guy that has a proven CNC program for the RB26DETT head with bench flow results. As for all the other bits n bobs a local machinist can do all the rest of the valve train installation and I would provide parts etc....

Need to find someone the a up to date Serdi machine and a RB CNC program with flow results to back it up.

Easy said then done.

well. actually Thornleigh cylinder heads in sydney that do our machining do have cnc for head porting and have done a whole heap of required calcs and testing to support. They aren't internet-y types so it would be best to call Anthony directly on 02 9875 5048

interesting to see if the proengines guys went ahead with this, but I'm wiling to guess not because we would have heard about it by now :(

We have these guys here in WA that can do it.

Just around the corner from my place. Haven't looked in on them for RB stuff but, they have done some nice work for some mates engines.

No they dont, all their head porting is done by hand

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
