Cyl head port and flow in Port Elizabeth

[jacquesdejager21]

Hi guys,so i want to get my head flowed and i have phoned every engineering shop i can come across in SA.Last night while browesing the web i came to a very old post on xtremevdubs.There is a guy named Gideon here in PE that does headwork and by the look of things he knows what he is doing.He has been in the automotive engineering industry for 20years+.He has a flowbench and will provide me with before and after flowcharts.He does the heads in his spare time.So i am going to give him a go considering his pricing is not bad at all.Hope this is not going to be a "school fees" episodehead is going in next week sometime.Will update once i get the head back.He said it will take about a week

keen to see before and after pics and stats as im also planning this at some stage.does he do big valve conversions too

[jacquesdejager21]

I will ask him and get back to you,i also heard that the bigger valves dont make much of a difference

It don't really ... for money vs output..

I spoke to a guy from 8v performance and he said the same thing so i wont bother with the bigger valves.Will start a ride thread(if i can figure out how)as the car is getting stripped to just the shell for body repairs and respray after i send the head in.

cool boet.strongs will the strip down and built will b keepinan eye on this.im wayyyyy to lazy and busy for that...On a side note im doing the 2L swap next week...oh happy days

I'm just passed the 50% mark with my engine build. Good luck with the build bro ,it can be very painful at times but when you take her out and she does what she does it will all be worth it .

As soon as in can find a nice 2l bottom end il be making the next 50% count

I am building a 2L 8v shortblock with the x-flow head,plan is to go turbo in the future...but that will happen once my wallet recovers from this build..i will start posting pics as soon as i start stripping.I will keep an eye out for you for a 2L sub

Problem building n/a now and then going turbo is that eveyrthing is different. Waste of money twice. If you ultimately want turbo then build it just once.

[jacquesdejager21]

So it would be better to slowley buy all the parts needed for turbo and then just go turbo?Because the way i understand is that after i get all the parts needed for turbo i can just drop my cr?

Are you just putting the n/a together or are you working on a strong N/a. Because for that you need cam, branches etc. long cam on turbo is basically not needed and you will chuck the branch. So a lot of that is waste.

[jacquesdejager21]

Yes,just putting it together to run till i have all the parts needed for turbo.I am not looking to build a strong n/a motor
