hmmm, ok, that sound about right to me now, thought you meant like 1000kg, would've been nice to get that low, but there's no way to do that even with CF panels and lexan windows.

Anyway... this just shows you that theres power in the head for sure.... all the same parts, sizes, everythng...just headwork...and this was on an already worked head....stock is only gonna be worse....

Yip.

When a guy knows what he's doing you can get great results, some even go so far as reshaping the whole port by welding it up in certain areas and cutting/porting in another. Port volume isn't always the factor to look for but CFM flow at different lifts. You get guys that get a head to flow serious CFM's while not increasing the port volume by much. Airspeed must be looked at too.

So jap spec...what would it cost me to get the doc to disconfuckulate my head to flow better?

You might have to rip out that platinum credit card for that. Like they say "plastiek is geduldig".

In that case my head will have to flow the way it does....

sad to think the heads are normally the most expensive part on the engine, if you take into account the valves, springs, cams, porting etc.

I dont have a platinum but I do have a Virgin (they dont discriminate based on the colour of you card *in a floppy accent*)

I wonder who's the best in SA when it comes to head flowing,

1. vd Linde
2. Roger Taylor (good with toyotas)
3. SAC (hehehe)
4. Doc's

Who else is there.

What kind of money would a place these charge??

Hennie Marais · Post by **Hennie Marais** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 2:05 pm

just for flowing, anything from R3000 and up for a 4cyl. You might get it cheaper some place but that's the normal starting price.
