Re: f7p/r cylinder head work
Chris, what you got to think of is what you want the car to do for you? fast road, pod, track?? or just a decent every day car, as you say plenty of project's out there that show you what can be done with what mod's and different power, Turbo Ted's aka Robbie's is one of the best as you can see the progress of his engine as he developed from F7p, head, to F7r head for more and more power, I think he only went williams head at around 400bhp (could be wrong). Also check out Arthur's aka Tuutur's thread another good one plenty of pic's and info can't remember is Arthur is on williams or F7p head.:agree:
Re: f7p/r cylinder head work
Hi managed 460hp with the original f7p head at 2 bar but when I changed to f7r standard head no porting made 500hp at 2 bar there's no need for porting really if your doing a turbo conversion as they make plenty of power,hill power where all N/A engines You need to decide what you want the car for,my car is just for drag racing now really not suited for road or track use as its got to much power now for that but got other toys for that.
Regards robbie
Re: f7p/r cylinder head work
Thank you for your input guys. Im going to use a megane head on the f7p turbo. Aim of my conversion, when i get back on it. Is for fast road. Be happy with 300 ponies just like to have the future mods done
Re: f7p/r cylinder head work
Port polishing is the last thing to get done on any car setup IMO, as robbie said the heads are good for high power anyways
Re: f7p/r cylinder head work
Wow, need interpunctions to read that!
Yes the head is capable of making power with a turbo but headwork would benefit though....
