Anyone know what target valve velocities would be inlet and exhaust? 70,80,90 m/s?

no idea what you're trying to do, but you could work out what they are from the cam profile and rpm
Ha thanks Andy. I'm thinking of a bit of DIY head work.I think you know the cams I'm going to use?
As you know the megane head has a strange port shape due to the injector angle. Theres plenty of meat in the way and needs to be removed and matched to my manifold. From there I was thinking of saving myself a fortune and look at valve seat and port shaping etc.
I then thought what the hell am I trying to achieve and, hence my question.
are you talking about port velocities, or valve velocities?
DIY porting is more likely to make things worse than better, there is a reason why modern engines make so much power. Any improvements will be within 1/4" of the valve seats, and be detail stuff.
Ok. I guess a specialist may be the best option. I do think that the meg head could be vastly improved as it seems a fairly rough casting.Originally Posted by Andrew Cooke
