Ported Head, General Info Needed

[thomasrally 3]

Thought I'd post a quick follow-up on this thread as our new head is almost ready to go and will very shortly be on the rollers!

 

The workmanship is absolutely flawless in my opinion so well excited to see this running, our new head and inlet manifold which has now also been matched up perfectly to the head has gained just short of 15% extra flow

 

As it happened we were running 9.7:1 compression ratio originally so no where near the 10.5:1 we thought we were so thats now been highered to 11:1 with the new worked head and inlet manifold should give us some much needed power at last, will post back soon once we know more.

Just to post a quick update on this, just came off the rollers a few hours ago and we've gained 10bhp from the head work and higher torque right throughout the rev range so car is running a spritely 150bhp now with 168nm of torque, not bad for some head work!

 

Car feels alot more torquey now which should be great in the woods!
