digitalfaze Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 You could get the head skimmed and put some better cams in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pikeypadfield Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 ok who would suggest skimming the head? and if so why i have had head gasket failure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s88hon Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 HEadwork if you are going NA, like port and polish and slight skim of the head. Obviously cams to go with it.. But to compliment the cams, you need decent high comp pistons to maximise the power. Our MB pistons have a comp ratio of 10:0 which is mildly weak sauce compared to Type R and even B16 VTi compression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikeypadfield Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 hmm ive decided to leave that for now due to lack of cash and had time limit to finish it haha. so its a runner now and standarded decided to buy a k+n and remove the resonator for now lol try and save up for b16 or b18 and tune that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s88hon Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Wise choice matey.. I sunk x amounts of cash trying to get decent N/A power (avoiding pistons)Epic fail.. no power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalfaze Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 So you cant get good power unless you get good pistons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
