Isn't this a public forum? and generally if you post up threads or reply, you will get 1 of 3 things 1) Support, 2) Help, 3) Critisizm, Its amazing how many people step up to the keyboard and become engine builders , building an engine isn't all that hard, but building 1 with all the right tolerances and clearances can be involved, hence the reason why there are more lemons driving around that ball terrors These days there is nothing new, you cant go and create something its all been done before which in fact should make it easier as there are proven combos to use as basic guidelines Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You rant on about cheap engines boom as if you've built 500HP monsters before, when in fact i'd bet you haven't even done a standard rebuild on any engine. This 650HP turbo charged v8 is nothing but a pipe dream your building in your head and in your posts.

Hay boom- i dont really care how much $$$ it cost to build a engine-as long has it done in the right manner- so i am not on here to say it can or can't be done- please explain to me about airspeed vs flow (cfm numbers) what good is flow numbers if the air-speed is slow- keep in mind wether it is turbo or not airspeed is still number 1 in the head- cfm and flow figures sell's heads- u see heaps of cars out their with their million dollar heads that flow these great flow figures-and when it comes to the crunch they are dog's- it does not take a smarty to work that one out- i mean we are talking about the entry and 2nd most important part of a engine here? Thanks Nick--

In my line of work we call these people engineers haha Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
