  1. Tyron - haha yeah mate this is a proper slag, yeah mate manifold is proper work off art...

    Lugzy - cheers mate, yeah loom is heavy loads off weight to shed, got few more bits ill be cutting out soon to get rid off abit more, trying to get it as light as possible because the seam welding and cage will add alot off weight in. Once she's together will be going straight on a weigh bridge see what it stands at

    The kit together in one piece, manifold is getting ceramic coated so will look incredible.

    Engine bay as it stands, gonna paint this when weather gets better!

    Started working on my block and doing few bits but that's secret haha. Better updates in the next few weeks :D

  4. I just fitted these for Jarrod, and I must say the quality is second to none, it's on par with my Meisters. After a quick drive they are firm but not excessively, car is very planted now, still needs setting up and panhard rod. Il let jarrod give a proper review onces hes driven on them properly. I'm very impressed though, would defiantly consider these in the future and wouldn't think twice about buying them for my starlet build if I didnt already have some.

  5. Adam - I'm not 100% clued up on the max flow rate off a ct9/ hybrid, I've heard good things about hybrids and read they can be pushed well above the 200 mark so with a free flowing head And supporting mods can see what the hybrid is capable off on jarrods setup. As for water injection, Jarrod has limited funds, hence why he's asked me to port a head for him as a favour.

    Amjad - as Jarrod is saying plan is to give it a clean up removing all casting marks and smoothing and shaping the ports to allow a better and more direct flow, this teamed with a hybrid should see some nice figures along with abit more response. It's more exhaust side that needs work, but nothing drastic on this setup, as Adam was saying dont want to loss the low end response. Will be nice to see the differences between jarrods and a similar setup.

  6. because hes my friend Adam and im doing him a favour, this has all gotten out off context, jarrods head will be getting the inlet/exhaust ports smoothed and shaped to accommodate better air flow through the head, so we can maximies what the ct9/ct9 hybrid has to offer as he dosnt want to go down the tdo4 route. I have a spare head here and owe him a favour so i said ill work on it for him to maximise the ct9 setup he is looking to run. Your right porting isnt required for a ct9 setup but if ported right and speced to the engine/ setup, it should see some exciting gains over the same setup that has had no head work. If jarrod is willing to maybe we can get a before and after dyno or comapre it to a simulare setup. I've only suggest the ported head to him as i will port it and it wont cost him a penny for the work.
