Hey again

Ok, i've decided to get my head worked

Ported and polished

Bigger valves.

I'll purchase new aftermarket camshafts and cam gears at the same time.

Why not. wats a good brand etc to look for? HKS?

Can anyone suggest where to get this done in melbourne eastern suburbs.

Close to ferntree gully if possible.

Also any idea on cost?

Thanks.

hks or tomei i guess are well known

are you sure you want it polished?

Well, im upgrading all the bolt on parts on my engine.

turbo, plenum etc etc.

Plus im replacing the timing belt and looking at camshafts and cam gears.

figured whilst its off, it'd be worth while.

Wat do u think?

My main goal was to make the head handle things hassle free.

Would this give me any power gains?

cheers

Not sure of places down south but a good port job will cost you $1000. They pretty much go up from there. Extreme jobs can sometimes set you back $3000 or more. You pretty much can't go wrong with HKS cams, and at $1200 for a pair, they are not too expensive. If you are going for bigger valves etc. I would suggest a larger lift cam like a step 2 or possibly a step 3 depending on your aim. Just make sure you upgrade to the appropriate springs when doing so.

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
