My new 782 head VS. My original 782 head

Well was thinking that due to core shift in intake ports Im not sure of wall thickness of intake ports so I really just want to get it to what my factory head demensions are.

Well was thinking that due to core shift that Im not sure of the wall thickness of intake ports. Not sure if there are water jackets close to them. So I was just going to get it as close to the old stock head demensions as I could.

And if there are any other problems with it such as valve guides. I will use head on car and rent a plane to drop clear waters head through thier roof.

It also supposedly went into some old Audi that they bought the tooling for. But, it's good bet that's a brand spanking new Chinese POS casting...

FWD sells a computer recalibrated, you plug it in and go. If some more tuning is needed to exchange chips with them. But your letting someone else tune the car.

Shelgame does that too. But the computer of choice he sells the the flashable SMEC. This allows you to make the cal and do your own tuning. However if your not too trusting of your self maybe you don't want to do your own tuning lol.

On China though, last I heard they had a company there called Cherry that sold the 2.2 till 2002 after Chrysler sold the design. That was I believe the 021 head, which isn't that bad. The head you have is different, one made form scratch that sucks. Has new weird ports too. Most likely flows worse too. Not as ugly as the last one posted up, what a train wreck that one was

Well. Looking like I might use head thats in car now. I have everything I need for getting around 20 psi except an sbec. If Shels price isnt to bad , cant he send one with a good 15 to 20 psi range cal? I dont plan on callibrateing my own stuff. Hard to find time to do what Im doing. but I do have block a head(one way or the other) intake, three bar,larger intercooler. ect ect

I can, but nothing I do is off-the-shelf; it's all custom to you your build/specs. Send me a PM if you want me to do a cal...

Ok Looking for around 20 psi of boost.

89 Daytona
2.2
*TIII turbo
*2.5 swing valve
3 in pipe
two piece intake ported for V6 throttle body
larger intercooler
large n/a rad.
3 bar
FFV injectors
Stock head possible with high rpm lifters and better springs(beehive I think)

Ok so back to my head. heres a few pic.

Heres a pic of retainer lock out of place. Straight from Clear water.

The Valves seated in place. Before removal.

The bowels.

This is the head after shapping ports to match my stock head.

This is old exhst. valve and lifter on left and new ones on right.

I need ti check exhuast valve numbers. it seems as though new ones are a hair smaller. And every intake valve had a washer under them.

[89TonaVa]

oops got two pics reversed. But easy to figure out. I have done all my grinding so far with a dremel tool. When it comes to exhaust header. i will have to go Bigger Faster and Stronger. LOL
