So, I did some mock up of the intake manifold on the head... It's an extremely large manifold, and sticks out quite a bit. I'll probably have to relocate my fuse box on the passenger side, oh well. I also bolted my VVL relocation plates up. They are all o-ring sealed, which is nice. I should have my Mazworx proprietary headstuds, Apexi head gasket and Tomei cams gears delivered sometime this week. Pictures!









I overlaid the VE intake manifold gasket to my old DE gasket and was amazed at just how much of a difference the intake ports are between the the two heads...

 

Sweet pics, vvl head and awesome intake mani, with hints of KW and bilstein in the background.

 

Had to send one of my KW's to Performanceshock inc in california for a repair and the Bilstein's are for my R32.

 

looking good man

 

Thanks Babilla...

I dropped the head off at the shop to get flowbenched today. I should have some numbers on it by the end of the week. I couldn't find any definitive numbers on what these heads flow, so I opted to get it flowed. My Mazworx headstuds came in today, hopefully the cam gears and headgasket get here by the end of the week so I can update with more pictures.

 

Now if only you were getting an S13 head flowed at the same time, for an apples-apples comparison.

 

All I have is an S14 head... If someone in the SRQ area would donate a stock S13 head I'd be happy to do it.

 

Wish you were around here, i've got a stack, i'd be happy to send one on a field trip

 

May be able to grab one from you this up coming weekend. I could do my S14 head as well and get a comparo on all the heads.

 

Thats fine, just return it sometime after
