kpr Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 Yeah its pretty hard to find any clear results on the port filling thing. then there is pretty much anyone with "high power" / "atlantic" 4age's. that never show their dyno results. all the ones ive found are dead in midrange. I have played with the idea of straightening out the ports by cutting the port back and raising the roof up. but really cant go high/ deep enough into port, before breaking out into the valvetrain area. to get much advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpr Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 As i suspected answer is: c) wont do shit green no bits in port. pink bits in port Run with my smallport 47mm itb setup 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Its amazing for what a drastic change has been made, how it makes almost zero difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Yup. and i take back all the horrible things i said about bigport head. Its almost making the same power as smallport head, when they both have a decent intake manifold setup. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Restriction must be on the other side of the intake valve now? How much difference do they have in the combustion chambers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 small vs bigport? stock there is no difference in chambers. only thing that's different is the intake ports themselves. From the port divider onwards the early bigport head (head on engine now) actually has the smallest ports out of all of them. the choke area is smaller than smallport head. The smallport head im comparing it to has had some work done in chambers and exhaust ports. not much on intake side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Single handedly devaluing smallport heads. so i can afford to buy one.... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Soo, turns out the tvis wasn't opening all the way. thought results seemed weird... vid has been fixed and reuploaded / heres the graph. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 so governing restriction is the intake valve opening/curtain area rather than the ports smallest cross section? more cam lift or bigger valves needed to max out port flow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Port shape seems to be the difference between them. smallport best shape most power. early bigport 2nd best. worst is the late bigport. I just finished testing the one @kyteler sent me. its a few kw down on the early head in the top end. both with stock intake and itb's. It has the biggest ports all the way to valve out of them all, also has a shitty short turn radius. So yeh, thats why redtop bigport is such a turd. Not sure why mr toyota made the later heads worse, maybe the engineer behind it was like screw this fwd junk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone in Australia did a bunch of work years ago on the old 1ggte cylinder head including cross sectional surgery.. Basically the outcome was the port area yielded next to no gain, small gains at the valve guide transition area, but it was really livened up once some larger valves were added to the equation.. I'm not sure if the same rings true of the 4age, although they would be of a similar Era to a boat anchor 1ggte so maybe the same dude from yamaha/ Toyota in Japan penciled down the initial design?

Spencer Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Yes I have heard many a barry yarn that they need bigger valves, not sure but didn't think there is much room for that carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah possibly not, if only there was some means of forcing air in there a bit faster, perhaps under pressure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it amusing how its the total opposite of what people think. bigport will be good for more top end power.. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
