And has anyone had any dealings with Stage3 heads, I have just been speaking to a friend in the motor trade and he knows someone who will make my heads stage 3 for a fookin stoopidly low price.......

 

Here's a link to some, any advice appreciated guys...:

If you're paying a stupidly low price, then the work will be stupidly bad. Good head work takes ages to do and always costs. 'Stage 3' really doesn't mean anything outside of one company's catalogue everyone's stage 3 is different.

If you want the heads done, speak to charlie at CTM, or Dave Baker at Puma race engines.

one thing to watch for is experience with particular engines, tho its not quite so important on forced induction engines, porting & polishing can actually reduce power if not done correctly!

Thanks for your advice John, are you going to the POD tomorrow? If not, I will call you when I get back. :) :duffer:

 

And have you got the number for these guys whilst were here. :)

Thanks Paul, well this guy works for Lynx Engineering so he does it for a living.

 

Will there be specifics that he should be aware of ESPECIALLY for the Zed's head's? Zed's head's....lol :D

Agreed 100% I have seen examples of the Legendary "Samuri" heads done by Spike Anderson for 240Zs. Each one a work of art created only by hours of work as well as the required skills and experience.

Follow John's advice or do as I am currently doing and speak to Mark(Topless) at Zen garage on this forum.

Mate I had a serious look into 1 peice and....

 

The reason it was made as a 2 peice and not a 1 is that if the bloody thing brakes under stress its just a brake. if its a 1 peice it turns into a 4000 rpm buzz saw and its gona cut you in half.

 

if your gona do 1 peice, carbon, it just dicintigrates.

Hi Mark,

 

We have an established tried and tested race engineers who do our head work on VG30detts, give us a shout mate:)

 

Thanks for the recommendation Pete :)

WOW, I think I just shat my pants at the thought of that happening!!! lol

 

Hmmm, if that risk is evident, why do they make them? :confused:
