Dont go porting your head or anything stupid like that. Your wll be flowing a pissy amount anyway so its not needed. How about you save you money and buy all the pieces you need to convert your n/a vl to a turbo. Go to the general thread turbo's.

If your going to do other stuff later, just flogg the crap out of it and put a turbo motor in it later when it dies. And what the hell are superkink springs? Yes swaybars will help. Try KINGS SPRINGS too. They might work better! lol

my bro is a mechanic and looked into this properly before doing the turbo conv to his R31 as a non turbo he was told that he could get up to a 30% increase in power from the head. not sure what else needed to go along with that. im bout to do it with my engine rebuild been quoted $700

The VL's already have sway bars, there just pathetic... Upgrade them with some whiteline heavy duty sway bars, and a set of superlows (or ultra lows) from Kingspring.... Will reduce body roll ALOT
