rebuilt my (Ford....ssshhhh) rally car , with a diffrent engine , moved into my new house , took over running part of the company....all go!
only for rallying , I threw out the Endura 1300 and fitted a 1400 Puma, p+p'd the head , make an inlet mani with GSXR T/Bs from scraps around the shed , and won my class 1st time out! I'm going pulling out my own 1.8 Mk1 soon tho , I miss it... I'm going for a 92.8mm Crank and considering sending you a head to play with , which would you think is a better base , the Mk3 GTi 2.0 8v head or the 1.8 GTI hydro one?
Sounds good..the 1400 ford/yamaha has good potential. Depends what you want...the mk3 head has a unique inlet port shape so makes fitting carbs or throttle bodies difficult. .I know a man who has one for sale that's a good one..I've had it on the flowbench, comes with a matched inlet manifold and a ported exhaust manifold I did...or yes indeed I can start from scratch with a mk2 casting.
I dont see a problem, though I could have one done with 48mm flanges, or mill the 45mm one out to suit. I can check with my 48's. 45's work well all round, unless you already have some 48's.
I dont have a pair jet. Im looking for around 200-220bhp. Wont 48 be much better then 45mm. If its fits i will order one, do you send to holland to.
Ah Hi Gary... was just doing my rounds... about to txt you. Thanks alot... at least non of yr work mates fitted it to theirs over the weekend! Anytime...
Congrats Jason, are you planing on p/p 20vt heads? If so i can supply one for demo purposes I need a big port one doing soon
Hello bud...long time no speak! Oddly enough, I have a head here awaiting surgery! I need to clear the current customer jobs which according to plan should be around 6-8 weeks. I can get back to some flowbench development then. .20v, crossflow (std & big valve) & big valve 16v are all on the hit list. You still on a std head Sam?
I am at this moment but thats a long story. Basically recently i had an issue with my "built" engine which had p/p agu head, very good job indeed. However had a droped inconnel exhaust valve which has ruined the head I can supply you with this head for reference if any use? As well as another standard AEB big port head i want doing or an exchange if you have one? Best regards Sam
Nasty. .Just seen the other thread! Get a piston to me along with the head you want porting Sam..I maybe able to have just one done and a new ring pack. You can send the other if you like..we can see how good it wad on the flow bench.
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL JMR CUSTOMERS OLD & NEW.. A big thank you for keeping me busy during 2011...2012 is stacking up well too. Regards Jason
