Simon - that must be something special to handle on the road!

Your neck muscles hurting yet?

 

neck muscles damaged riding bikes a while back.. car much kinder on them..

last passenger I had in the car I went through 2nd, 3rd and changed to 4th and slowed down and he just said one word starting with F very loudly.

Simon

 

Sounds epic Si

 

too quiet now as on track friendly exhaust

 

My Simpsons system is lovely and quiet. There will be no screamer pipe for me either lol

 

I errrm have a screamer

 

Lol, look what arrived this morning. How frustrating now i cant do anything with them. Grrrr

Still, they look pretty, Supertech Racing one piece valves.

Stainless intakes with nitride coating and Inconel exhausts.

 

Valves/seats have now been leak tested and are ready to assemble. As soon as im fixed up and back at work, these will be washed, re-inspected and assembled.

really pleased with the way the heads are shaping up now. Lets hope they do the business once shes all built

 

So then, what else you gonna do when youre stuck home with a f'ked shoulder and cracked ribs?

Port + polish your heads

Bored today so armed with porting tool, carbide burrs, sanding drums, brass wheels, mops and soap i set about cleaning up my ports.

Actual port shape has been largely uninterfered with but all 99% of all casting imperfections and flashing have been smoothed. Also smoothed in the roof angles towards the valves slightly and cleaned up the dogleg area in the exhaust ports.

The intakes have been finished in 80 grit by hand and have a nice smooth key. The exhausts have been polished to almost mirror. Really hard to photograph, especially with a phone, but here you go.

Just a light lap left to do of the valves before a final cc check, wash and assembly.

Intakes






Exhausts

 

That looks like a whole lot of VERY boring work Frayz.

 

It is mate. But then im used to boring work lol.

Building motors isnt exciting haha

 

Shiny, shiny!

 

Lol, the lapping tool and paste tin look just the same as 30 years ago!

 

Thats because it is 30 years old! lol Carborundum paste is still exactly what i use at work.
To be honest, ive already vac tested teh valve seats and they all pulled up fine. But im going to give them a very light lap with just fine grit paste anyway.

Seats are already multi angle, so there is no advantage to cutting them again anyway.

 

Valves all given a light lap today. Very light with only fine grit paste just to ensure the seats were 100%.
Took it slow as my shoulder was killing, but i had sod all else to do. lol

Just wash, assemble and final cc to go

Really hope these heads work as ive spent quite a bit of time on them now.

 

Heads are looking very posh!

Although I'm sure you would tell us, any progress on the the build this week?

 

All those words Ross and you choose "POSH" PMSL hahaha

Nah mate, ive been sorting turbo pipework and turbos this week. Hopefully i will get the rest of the money for my 30R next week when i return to work and then i can order my GT35R. Hopefully getting the full Tial V-banded stainless ex housing setup for the turbo too.
Also spoken with Neil @ Thermal Logic who is hopefully going to make some parts for me too.
The heads are ready to assemble and so is the short motor. As soon as im back at work i'll get on it.
Its getting ever closer to the fun bit now

 

Cheers for meeting up last night Frayz. Filter and hose looking great quality M8.

 

No probs fella. Yeah theyre much nicer quality than the APS kit. I rememeber having that hose made and asking for it in 4 ply so it wouldnt collapse.
Should do you perfect.

 

Woohoo, new turbo ordered. New fuel pump on route too.

 

congrats, its been a long time coming billet 35 with a ported shroud?

 

4094

 

if serious then the rotated kit I think you have already I know a home for and you can then buy a twin scroll rotated kit..

Simon

 

thats gonna make for an exciting road car

 

Haha, the rotated kit i think is going to Finland.

Neil is going to make me a full v-banded setup to suit the new blower with the Tial housing

Sorry Si, not TS

 

I like to keep it varied

Going to show my incompetence here but what kind of power does that put out?

I imagine it is a pretty serious bit of kit!

 

I was messing about the 4094 Ross... One of those will see you comfortably into the 700s.
I've actually ordered a 35R.. Which should get me comfortably in the 500s possibly nearer 600. Simon, JGM is pushing 620 out of his 35R of the same spec.

I've also gone for the Tial stainless exhaust housing which is fully vbanded, more compact on the outside (inside identical to the Garrett)
Its also far superior to the Garrett housing in terms of surface finish. So could flow a little better.
Oh its 33% lighter too. So. Even if it doesn't perform better, at least its lighter, neater and won't rust lol.

I've ordered a 10bar 413 pump too and have some Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors on the way too.
Fueling should cope with well over 600bhp

 

.. and I'm the muppet that fell for it..

Sounds awesome fella... looking forward to the pics!

I'm just a big jessy but anything over 500 sounds quite crazy for road use!

I have one of those 413 pumps on mine. Overkill on mine but I got it for a very good price from Harvey.

 

I only got the 413 as I too got it for a daft price. 044 would have done enough.
I think 500s in a newage will be fine for road use. Should be exciting enough and not too scary.
Maybe the 30R would have been more useable on the road but I'd rather have the excitement of the 35R
I think I'll still probably want more anyway.lol

 

Even gave the ol girl a bath today

Swirl city, but she'll get a good machine polishing once shes breathing again
