Cool stuff! The last 6 months have been filled with everyone doing engine rebuilds and the like. I suspect the next month or so will be filled with engine run-in, and then, hopefully by July we're all meeting up for events again :-)

I also suggest we should organise a tour someday towards 200SXMP's town and head through to the lae veld for a 2 or 3 day long weekend. When I was there recently I bought a map showing all the caves & waterfalls, etc, including gods window and waht not. The twisties are also awesome but I'm waiting for postman pat to send those unsuspecting snapshots I got...not to mention the fuel/toll gate fees..

Just lemme know when you're going to Tarlton so we can get some video and perhaps someone from the club can do a few runs against you. Depending on the state of the cars that is ;)

gasflowed head
Any one out there and our calibrator, tell me about this gasflow head story and dont any one of you reply with different answers. THE QUESTION is:
DOES A GAS FLOWED HEAD ON TURBO CHARGED ENGINS WORTH WILE?????

Logic and testing tells me that gasflowing makes a bigger difference on a forced induction car than on a NA car.

On the Euro CA18DET head (which most of run), you need to do a decent flow/port job to make it respond well, just doing your normal flow and polish doesn't yield much result... That is what I've read on SXOC

BUT: do a decent job and have some supporting mods like cams and the results are impressive...

Our heads aren't like VW heads where if you do a flow / polish you get massive increases, you'll probably get more power from other mods with the same amount of money spent.

I think the intake manifold on the CA would be the bigger restiction.

Whats the inlet diameter to the plumen?? I thinks its like 57mm or something hey??

I think there's a lot you can do to most stock heads to improve them, especially if you want to pay lots you will probably get a sh!tload more power but I always get confused thinking if the increased flow of gases/increased diameters means you might have less power under boost?!!?? Screw the details, give your head/engine in and fork out R10-30k and see what you get ;)

Anyone modded their intake manifold?? Wish I could cut one open to see where the restrictions are and remove them.

When I master TIG welding Aluminum I will seriously think about a new intake manifold.

I have done a little, 60 MM Throttle Body Intake matched and Port matched and smoothed the runners when the head was off.
