which head

[Galantman]

ok Guys, the VR4 head that came with cam tunnel damage which according to my local machine shop is "too hard" to fix.

so if this truely is the case ( i am getting another opinion) im up for ideas on where to look next.

currently the car ( j spec) is operational with a non turbo head used to get the car going so it could be sold, but with the dual runner cyclone manifold on it.
upgrades are kelford 272's, 6 boost manifold to suit my gt30/40, and Vipec ECU for it all.

whats the best way to go

find vr4 head
stick with the head i currently have (reco with bigger valves and possible port cleanup) .
other options ( what's this Hyundai talk i see sometimes?)


also what inlet manifold, obvoiusly i have the cyclone dual runner setup. or the NA manifold off a motor i got 10+ yrs ago that i never used that looks like this?

ideas on where i should head?

hey man, if you currently have a head with good valves... i have a spare head here with bent valves if you need one.
it seems to be in good nick (aside from the valves lol, come up for a look if you need.

I posted a few months ago about plenums. Whether to use cyclone, na, or Hyundai. Fair bit of info on the differences there

With the head...what do you mean by cam tunnel dammage

inlet cam has run dry on the front "bearing" so all burred and stuffed, same with exhaust cam but #4 bearing. so as a minimum needs to be cleaned, welded and then line bored. IF you can get a shop that has that capability.

Just stick with the non turbo head. It is from a 2l?
I'm running a non turbo head on mine with a big turbo etc and have no issues.
