Hey guys
I have been trying to do some research on Flowing and porting my Ady.
I was told there is different stages, how ever can some one tell me what each stage consist of and can someone give contact details for 8 Valve performance.

i googled and picked up a adress in West Street benoni which took me straight into a residential area.
I sent a mail and tried calling but i guess Sarel is busy , therefor i want to pop by his shop.

I don't know how all these "stages" work, but if you going to take all that effort to pull the head out, then why not do it properly once. Its not a part that's easy to swop out if you don't like how its done the first time

Bud, if Sarel doen't answer his phone, he is usually busy on the dyno, and can't hear his phone.

Also, the stages story I don't understand in too much detail, but from what I know is the guys usually go for stage 2, that's a nice flow and your intake and exhaust ports are matched nicely to the manifolds. A stage three from what I can remember Sarel telling me, is cam specific. He does something extra to aid your cam, but that is more for the racing guys. Hope this helps.

Oh, and the adress on google was right, he used to build the cars at his home before he moved to the new shop. :hi:

No the workshop is in Ampthill Ave, between the two Dada's Motorland showrooms and across the road from Goldwagen...

No, that's Sarel's old GT (one of his 1st cars) that spend some time in Precision's yard, then at Roberto and I see it's back with Sarel now...

Won't you be able to buy a head that already has stage 2 done to it, sounds a lot easier than stripping the car down and waiting for Sarel

check if Sarel has a spare you can swap with.

I have done that previously
