Well its a carbon copy of Elrodeo666's head which was good enough for 445 kw at 1.4 bar on -5's.

Have a look at the inlet ports on Brad's engine (SHOWOFFR32)... that is what they should look like.

BRB. I'll go tell the bloke that ported the HKS drag car that he did it wrong.

Go ahead... All I am suggesting is that the port looks polished from the photo.

To enhance mixture quality it is better to have a textured inlet port surface, especially considering you have massive injectors that wont atomise very well.

Well they proberbly are. But considering the guy has built mild to wild RB's day in and day out for the last 20 years, there must be a reason why he has done what he has done. Who know's what that reason is. I'll ask him in two weeks time when Marcus will sit him down and call me from Japan.

The guy in Japan who has done all the port/polish and r&d on the head has built more high powered full race engines, 9 sec drag engines and drift spec engines then most porn stars have ever had roots.

And yes its polished as well. Why..you'll need to ask him about it but as one of Japans top engine builders who has built 100's of high spec engines, I think he has a resonable idea of what he's doing.

But hey everyone has their opinions.

And Paul its 445kw @ 1.3bar

Just to be clear, your talking flow from a polished port vs fuel atomisation from a rough cut port right?

I figure the rate that Paul's car drinks E85 it probably won't make a lot of difference when its on song. Its not as though there are a lot of injector options to provide a streetable 2lt/min injector flow. The value of optimising fuel atomisation from porting/polishing methods could probably be weighed against the options available for injector spray patterns for similar effect.

Theres more going on with this head than just a port /polish job.

Been all machined up at Naprec to HKS race specs and then some custom work by HKS.

It has been designed purely for response and slamming his arse hard back in the seat and fro getting around a track nice and quick.

Pauls head has a bit more done to it than mine and has been built to handle 600~650kw if he ever chooses to go down that path.

Anyway this is Pauls build so wait a few weeks and he'll let you see whats what and at the end of the day it all comes down to what it does when it's all bolted together and tuned properly.

It will be interesting to see how it all ends up..

Hopefully one day maybe a V-cam and those new turb's that Gav has, it would be quite an animal.

Unfortunate about the old engine!

But it will certainly be interesting to see how this new setup performs in relation to the old setup. Especially with the addition of the new head. What sort of port job was done to the old head?

My mates car runs low 9's with a near std head, ports are just cleaned up. Makes about 880rwhp. What bigmikespec has said holds true, port finish 101 regardless of head type or setup usually doesn't go any finer finish then 80grit. Polishing the surface slows air speed and ruins mixture motion through the port. But maybe this particular guy has a formula that works for him and it goes against the theory that everybody else in the world works around. It will be interesting to see if it makes a difference or not.

Gotta keep an open mind about everything!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
