Thanks, I guess there is no need for the extra revs if that's the power goal.

What head work would you suggest?

Just trying to wrap my head around this - appreciate your replies

head work depends on your budget. Commonly ppl go port & polish.

My head built by Jhh Racing - CNC ported, supertech bronze valve guides, valves & dual springs, ferrea titanium retainers

Hks 272 cams and tomei cam gears... There's a lot more involved but that's just the components

Out of interest what are your goals and what head work is needed to achieve it?

My goal was to be able to rev as its built for a drag power band, so this head is built to rev till 10,000rpm on my bottom end.

This same combo has revved to 11,000rpm with a lighter built bottom end.

It's been CNC machined ported for maximum flow. I don't know how much came out as its a Jhh racing spec, secret squirrel stuff also forgot its 1mm oversized as well so yes they did do valve work!

Don't know if anyone is still interested but here is my real world experience. Own an R32. Made close to 400 atw. With bolt ons. Never did cams though. Was happy till a minor engine issue. Decided to rebuild. Didn't know if I wanted a 2.6 or a 2.8. Walked into a workshop and got to go for a ride in 2 gtrs. Both were single turbo cars 600hp 2.6 and a 740ish hp 2.8. Both drove better than my low mount twin setup. Why? They were better built and better equipped and better setup cars. Everything was matching. Either one could be driven daily. A well built, well setup car will be most fun to drive. Find a good shop. Get good parts. Take your time. If the opportunity is there. Drive different setups. I was sure I knew what I wanted. After just two drives, my plan turned on its head. There are so many videos of cars. Every combo you could think of. Nothing worse then redoing something.

So what did you end up doing George?

A high compression ratio, forget, worked 2630 with a gtx4294r on the side sculling e85 through id2000s and 3x044 pumps.

Our first plan was a 26 with twin 2860-5 then we decided to go for 6466. After pooping my pants in an rb28, plan changed again. By luck a few parts for a 2630 turned up along with a turbo kit and here we are.

But I will never forget the difference between my car originally and the 2 gtrs in the shop. They were so well sorted. No flat power spots. Everything just worked.

    • The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄  
    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.
