Dell'orto Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Build - //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/21111-ke30-deluxe-requiemk626/ Have you lifted the vinyl roof back yet? Would be kinda cool to keep it original, though no doubt there'll be rust aplenty under there Pretty cool its been in the family its entire life too. If you don't like the rims that are on there, I'll take em off your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiemk Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Vinyl roof has been lifted Doing a full restore didnt want to leave any unseen cancer growing under the vinyl. Was kinda gutted when there was practically now though Car is in half primer now. And those rims are long gone, now have a pair of chrome moonies hubcaps wiating to be fitted. Hopefully itll be a cheap fix for the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell'orto Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 Not much point in porting the head if you've got stock valves, just clean up around the valves and she'll be right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiemk Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Ah true, do you got experience with this? Would still like to do a small amount just for future use. What would it cost to get bigger valves put in and the small headwork done there that will allow them to sit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell'orto Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Only a little bit, and its mostly a port velocity thing. No point having massive ports if you can't fill them efficiently, and even if you could, cant squeeze the charge through the inlets. I'd only go for bigger valves if you're go all out.

Requiemk Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Yer i figured after i asked you i look into and bigger valves they definately will be not needed for my engine expectations. I'm port it out to a little bit over 3kb heads specs and clean up the valves. I might get a small ammount of headwork done on the things that i cant do myself if the cost is >$200. ALso got the new moulded carpets (black) on monday Yesterday also purchased some new bridgestone rims for a killer price Hopefully will get flares before friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just clean up casting marks and round the valve stem and the bowl. Head work gets expensive real quick, obviously they charge by the hour and wellknown outfits like The Head Shop up here have a pretty decent charge out rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiemk Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I dont really agree with you there, bigport heads preform better than a non bigport head, they all have the same valve size(i think) so bigger ports are a plus obviousy and with a bigger cam more flow will be needed. I'm not going to go crazy so i loss velocity but yer. Will only really get headwork if i sell something haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell'orto Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 It doesnt, trust me. Theres heaps of info out there to back it up. It might give you a higher peak power figure, which is cool if you're into dyno numbers, but you dont get as much low end/midrange torque which is what makes the car nice to drive.

Requiemk Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 my cam profile has really wrecked the nice to drive area of things. Im going to price up getting bigger valves put in tomorrow. I really think some head porting will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 So whats happening on the induction side of things? No use having all these big ports and valves if you can let enough mixture into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some tiwn carbs, will be on the look out for webers/dellorto/solex I really think some head porting will help. Why is that? Your set on no head porting? what are the advantages of not porting my head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
