Hi,

I am doing a round of modifications to my r34 gtt rb25 neo that is basically copying a setup that should make ~330 RWKW on 98

Is there much to be had at this level from getting the head ported?

The engine has 100,000 km on it so could be due for a freshen up top, I was planning on doing stem seals since I am replacing cams and springs anyway but was going to leave the head on, but this would be a good time to pull the head off and get it ported if the gains made it worthwhile and install some arp head studs.

I read on the 'Lewis engines' website and it seems like a worthwhile upgrade, is there any machining shops that would come recommended by SAU members?

What he said.

At 330rwkW there is absolutely no need to port the head. It is very possible to get to that sort of power just by using boost. If you do port the head, you will need a turbo that can make the target air flow level at lower boost. This might ultimately mean the difference between using a GT3076 or a GTX3076 (just to pull an arbitrary turbo size out of the air. The GTX are optimised to make power at higher pressure ratios.

If you do port it, and it is done well (sensibly, not just hogging shit out of it) then gas flow will increase even before the turbo is up on boost, so you should improve response.

But.....How else would you spend $2k?

Anyone can hack up a port.

Seen it too many times to mention. :/

The more boost you run the less runner size you want imo, so a little bowl work is fine, and I agree with port matching, but I would like to actually add material to the port to increase the gas speed before the valve.

Just think how long the valve is open for at 8000 revs, and what speed the air needs to be going to fill the cylinder in that time...

Apparently stored correctly in a 44 drum it would be good for 3 months max, not sure I would go through it that fast especially considering the car only comes out to leave town and It wouldn't make it to the next servo selling e85

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
