  1. nice wheels :wub:  anybody knows if something similar is available in 16" ?

     

    Thanks.  Most people think they are Work Equip E01's or E01 knockoff's but they are actually 14x8.5 -10 3pc SSR "SuperStars."  These's wheels only came in 14's and were mostly used for racing since they weight less than 10lbs.  Unfortunately they have been out of production about as long as I've been alive and are one of the rarest SSR wheels to find.  

  2. Derek, 

     

    Awesome work so far on the head!  I've just read through 7pg's and I want even more info, pictures, charts, drawings, just everything!  This is a real game changer and again, I really have to commend you (and Tony D) on all you've done so far.  +1 for Florida!  :D

     

     

    Yea this cam thing has been tough. Not what I was expecting for sure. 

     

    Have you tried Kelford Cams out of NZ (www.kelford.co.nz, www.camshaftshop.com)?  I'm not 100% sure that they produce their own blanks, but if they don't, sourcing billet blanks doesn't seem to be an issue.  They CNC grind all camshafts in house and if you send them over a CAE of a cam/profile you've been dreaming of they will make it.  They can building any cam you like.... I mean ANY.... Like a 16.25mm lift K series cam

    Also, I see that you are in Central Florida.  Have you heard of Mazworx out in the Orlando area (www.mazworx.com)?  If you get a chance, contact Mark there and fill him in on what you are doing and where your currently at as far as development.  They are one of best machine shops around and are also a Kelford Cams dealer.  They might be able to help streamline the development of your cams if you use Kelford or possibly could help with one of the stateside manufactures.  Mark has been intricate in getting a lot of bespoke parts produced for Mazworx over the past few years, like 6061-T6 billet aluminum blocks for the Sr20 and 2JZ.  Imagine a billet L6 block w/ this head (and RR's 3.5 crank)?? 

     

     

    Let's face it. When we were all saying I wish there was a bolt on cross flow twin cam head for the L6 we should have added "and it needs to be under $5000.00 complete with cams valves etc". Because based on the feed back I've received off forum this is the point where the decision is easy. After that for every $1000.00 you add it becomes harder and harder. The $3000-$4000 "just for cams" pretty much killed off the two that were serious.

     

    If I pull the plug now at least I'll shut everyone up about a twin cam head for the L6 and the mods can instigate a immediate ban on anyone who mentions it again:)

     

    Because a twin cam head for the S30 can't be produced in the numbers that will be purchased by S30 owners for under $8000.00. And that's if you're creative and can scrounge. $10,000.00 or more if you don't want to scrounge and would like to make reasonable power.

     

     

    I really want to see you finish this head development and have a completed/fully assembled head out there to showcase.  I think once you have a completed head and flow chart data to support it you will easily sell out a run of these.  There are a lot of high rollers all around the world that either lurk forums or just aren't online.  Once the proof is out the demand will rise.

     

     

    Actually what I'm looking for is " if the head does this XXX and costs this $$$$$" I'm in" Not could be persuaded or thinking hard about. But IN.  This will tell me what marks I need to hit.

     

    I'll put this out there.. If this head can produce 380+/-rwhp on a 3.0L-3.2L bottom end I AM 100% IN.

  3. I need the following parts, new or used, for a triple PHH S5 carb setup.

     

    • 3 Mikuni manifold throttle push rods
    • 3 banjo bolts (w/ washers)
    • 2 T Banjo Fuel Fitting 
    • 1 L Banjo Fuel Fitting

    If anyone has any or all of these parts, please shoot me a PM.


     


    Thanks,


  4. They are still in opa locka new location  there phone is 305 769 1877. And in Miami we have a big group of fast Z . From V8 to 2J and L powered  and stock ones to all out race cars

     

    I though WWR had closed or sold the name to another shop?  Didn't know they were still around.  

     

    And by saying a "big group" of Z's are we talking about S30's or S31, Z31, Z32 & Z33's?  There are plenty of the lather Z's rolling around but not a lot of S30's on the roads down here.  I think the last shop were I saw a decent amount of S30's was "The Z Shop of Miami" way back in the day.

  5. Very cool build!  I think I saw it on zhaust a yr or 2 ago when you were first starting it out.  Looks like its coming along well.

     

     

    By the way redlinevo7 I'm also from the "pretty small island" of Barbados!  You know what the saying, theirs always a bajan somewhere no matter when you go  :icon10:

  6. MMMM 172 hp per L lol better than a 410 sprint car engine and better than any engine in the world NA with that rpm .

    if that was for real that 410 sprint engine would make 1191 hp the best one in the world makes 850

    realy

     

    PMC, A 92x92 4cyl is 2.4_L not 2.2L so it's more like 158hp per L. I don't want to get into the whole comparison discussion, but the numbers are very obtainable. There are a half a dozen of 92x92 n/a VE’s making well over 280whp and a few already into 300whp range, with room to grown.

     

    I'll PM you to get info on the throttles that you have tested.

     

    All the more reason to not use flow benches as a rule, but just another tool. Comparing what one person gets from X head on one flow bench should never be compared to another flow bench.

    Data and formulas are all theory until proven. A 2200lb car that runs 11.5@116mph is all the proof I need that it's making the power.

  7. So is that 400hp @ 550 of 400cfm @

    A 2.2 would have to make 180hp per L to use that much air

    a sb2 nascar head flows 400cfm at 700 and if you could get a 2.2 to use that head it would make 450hp NA thats that better than any F1 race car they need 17000rpm to make that VE

    a nascar makes 130hp per L

     

    cfm. It's is a streath but an obtainable one. Majority of the guys with port work on this head get around 330-370cfm's and some getting even more. I haven't had mine flowed yet but i'm hoping it will be on the higher end of the scale :D

     

    Here's one from back in 2008 with oversized valves and extensive port work and reshaping.

    DSC03190-1.jpg

     

    There have been guys who are right at 300whp(380bhp) on the 92x92 setup.

  8. You have done testing on a VVL? That's great news! I'd be very interested in seeing any pictures you have of the manifold and tb's.

     

    48/50mm might be suitable on a 2.0 but i'm inquiring for a 92x92 engine, with a head that flows in the low 400@.550' on IN, using a 324/12.5mm IN cam and 9.5-10k rev limit.
