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.

    • Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother
    • Yeah pretty sure they are m4, but best to check, and perhaps use new hardware Also don't over torque them......there was that one time I lost an expensive engine after a workshop overtorqued one of those bolts and it ended up in the oil pump (no, I don't know why they removed the intake mesh either)
    • I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading. 
    • Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?
    • Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
