g60-r 0 Posted April 1, 2007 been doing some research on tuning my standard 1.9 and thinking about going down the new cam and port and flow the head. i couldn't find a price any where. can anyone on here give me a rough price to have it done and is there any other mods, tweeks that can be done when the head is off. cheers Roo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted April 1, 2007 I'd give Richard Longman a call, they are one of the best for head work and are fairly priced considering you can get a bad job done for the same money, Only down the road too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g60-r 0 Posted April 2, 2007 cheers guys, just gave them a ring and found out they do a modified head for £700 plus vat. for that you get your head ported and flowed, fast road cam and a 1mm bigger inlet valve. bit more then i was looking to spend, might be leaving my beast as standard for a while:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamirGTI 345 Posted April 2, 2007 Hi ! You can try to do this yourself , at least a little bit of porting and 3 angle seats .. http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?s...59&hl=inlet Cheers Damir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
