big port head

[h17och]

right,

im about to put a big port head on mine as my stem seals are shot so its a good time to upgrade.

what will need changing on engine? if anything?

am i right in believing map will need adjusting

ta very much

 

[PhilW]

Your standard inlet manifold wont fit.

I dont think the map will need changing tho.

 

[h17och]

good point phil...didnt even think of that! cheers

i think it will fit just its not big port!?

can anyone confirm it wont need mapping?

 

[PhilW]

I'm keepin an eye on this thread as i've got a spare large port that i'm building up over the winter months.

get a big port head and a big port 007 intake mani with r32 TB

 

[TTS Roadsport]

As the chap above says. Or the APR manifold with r32 TB.

Isnt it best to get your car fully working first? lol

 

[PhilW]

i was gonna go for the Ross Machine Racing one with R32 TB.

 

[h17och]

i no i gota get my car sorted 1st but dont wona remap it before i fit head if it needs mapping to suit

how much is the 007 with r32 TB?

 

[ibizacupra]

007 being the proven best flowing big port mani with r32 throttle body

cheapest quote i got for t'body is 175+
007 mani is approx 499

 

[PhilW]

This might sound like a pathetic question, but whats the build quality in the 007 like? As i'm after a bit of engine bay eye candy i want something that not only works well but looks good.

Gay i know. lol.

Neh shouldn't need mapping but for max benifit you should.

Just got my car up and running there with small port head ported and polished. Port sizes comparable to a std largeport.

Everything seems fine after 42 miles touch wood

You'll need a full head gasket set.

Is the large port head VVT?

 

[TTS Roadsport]

Any head can be VVT, you have just gotta put the bits in! Get rid of the VVT as its known to cause ussues.

 

[PhilW]

Mine hasnt got VVT.

Decent head bolts?

 

[h17och]

its a ported out agu head

 

[caney]

get a big port head and a big port 007 intake mani with r32 TB

have you got all this then?

 

[myk3]

have you got all this then?

no but if and when i upgrade my intake manifold this is what i will do!

 

[h17och]

would i need ibiza cams or the large port cams?

 

[goble]

cams would be similar spec anyways not a great deal difference, not like lumpy rally cams.
But if youve got a large port head on it then more air will be entering as well as the tb your getting so more air = more fuel reqd so to get it running correctly without runing too lean you should get it mapped bear in mind the the air mass drawn will be greater.
is the ex port and int been enlarged???
