290s cool
Another update for you guys.
The bodies have arrived, finally!
2 trumpet lengths to experiment with, if i can fit the longer ones in time they they will go, but that is alot of rad modifications and fabrication.
The car will also have barometric compensation meaning he can drive to below sea level in finland (or wherever it is in europe that is sub sea level) to the top of the alps and not have any fueling problems unlike other TB setups.

The cylinder head has also been fully ported and roughed out, all required shapes are complete. I know it looks rough, but the diff a little cleanup can make is astonishing. The fact that flow is only minorly increased shows you how little polishing has to do with anything.

Fully developed chamber pre -tidy up, surface quality does however have a big impact here as you need the right texture to generate just the right amount of carbon crystal buildup and thickness to help the burn, but this is also not polished. Also note the valve seats have been radiused and they will be running a single seat cut, not 3 angles.........a proper variable radius seat will outflow angles no problems, but they are so labour intensive. Takes about 10 mins per seat, which means about 3 hours just to do the seats!

Danny
P.s Tell Ben to get a move on...Im getting impatiant!!!
Huge Ditto ^^^ Id gladly pay that for a respray - just need a bit of rust and odd dent knocking out.. Pleeasee!
The cars gonna be a beast - I was speaking to Ben myself asking about all the info on tbs - Oh yes yes! not quite yet - make car look pretty first priority..
Ask and ye shall recieve!
Final port and chamber work is done, the head only needs skimming after the chambers have been measured so that face will look perfect. And the guides will be replaced just before the single 45 degree seat is cut as the seats are hand cut radius right now.
YUM, this is a det free zone!

Note inlet port wall texture and valve seat radius.........where 3 angle seats cost between 2-5 quid each, this is considerably more and contributes to a total cost of about a grand for this cylinder head.

Symmetry is ultra important!

Exhaust ports are a VERY comlex shape with many ridges, humps, radiuses and pockets to make them flow properly. Traditionally people just grind down the exhuast guide bosses and make it look like the second pic, although it looks nicer, it flows less due the the rapid expansion of gas right after the seat....this also flow great in the reverse direction, which is really bad.

Inlet port, tecture looks squibby because Renaults castings arent great and you find carbon and all sorts of crap pitted in there.

And thats that!
Now just the freaking build to do in a week.
WOW!!!!!!
Dannt, if only you knew how much had to be done in 6 days! lol.
Hoepfully it can all be done as i want to fit the longer trumpets as i dont want to drop easy power and torque simply because the rad is in the way, however, if things come to it, itll be more important to get it running rather than fit the longer trumpets, which can be done at a later date.
