head questions...
 

hey guys...
im back at it again, and this time lookin on what i would need to do to let that engine breathe better.
now ...
i've heard about the 1G head swap and dont have too much info on this.
also did a search and came up empty...
what are the pros and cons of the 1g swap ??
also ... which one would flow better the ported 1G or the ported 2G head ???

the reason being is that i want to get myself a head and start workin on it over the winter...
get the arp head studs, metal headgasket, new valves, cams, cam gears, intake manifold and a tubular turbo manifold.

this way i know for sure that the engine can breathe good :)
i already opened up the exhaust a lil bit ( removed rear muffler and catalitic )
after im done with the headwork a turbo upgrade along with downpipe and exhaust will follow.

fueling as of right now is slowly comming together as 750's, Aeromotive fuel rail, aeromotive fpr and 255 walbro.
also for christmass wifey is getting me the DSM Link.

Get a 1gen head w/ 93-94 turbo cams. The ports on the 1gen head are a lot bigger ad the cams have a more aggressive lift then the 2gen. Also use the 1g intake manifold and t/b too.

Check out vfaq.com they compare the heads and intake manifolds between 1gens and 2gens. I think there is a write up abt using a 1g head on a 2gen car.

also what turbo do you have or do you plan on upgrading to. Because whats the point of all this without a turbo upgrade

RE: head questions...
 

going to theFP 3052 with a v-band 44mm tial gate. this will allow lots of room for improvement.
will make a custom 2.5" downpipe,where after the initial elbow will open it up to 3", at which will plumb back the wastegate.
this was i can keep the flow to a maximum. And at this point im really re-thinking whatever i will buy an exhaust or i wil build my own.
heheheh...
now i wonder how much can the stock bottom end handle.
anyways...
been on the phone all day and im having a hard time even tracking down one...
anyone have a bare head that can be rebuilt and want to sell ???
please PM me...
