well i can tell you just a clean out has to improve flow over the rough arsed factory job

Second attempt was done today 16 straight hours worth muttering dont f#$@ this one up, so off to have new valve guides inserted tomorrow.

""""""love that cutaway pic.

there was some interesting info in last issue of race magazine about taking an internal cast of the port to see how smooth the shape is""""""

Exactly..!!, thats the way to get identical-ish ports.

Aaaaanyway Tacker, ya had the nuts to have a go, sometimes it goes wrong, but good one mate all the same, I been there too.

Cool idea the cut-away, nice one.

Very nice pics, and bummer to see it went wrong first time - gotta gut you.

I was sure I've heard that unless you're going mental with it, theres no point doing any more than maybe a basic tidy up of the ports - no reprofiling or anything as they're so good stock. I know not everything you hear is true, but sure that I've heard that its not uncommon for RH9 cars to not have had any work done to the ports on the cars - just big cams and whatever is needed to fit them and actuate the valves correctly.

not quite true there is a lot to do just to clean up the rough factory job, i found steps in the intake port just under the valve seat of over 1mm in depth.

Then it goes into inner radius for the intake and outer radius for the exhaust etc. There is quite a bit you can do on the intake to reprofile and enlarge the exhaust ports.

but if what has been done this time gives me a10 to 15% increase in flow i will be well chuffed.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
