An excerpt from my forum These puppies are amazing! Look at that odd valve train and weird coatings on the valves.. If you look close you'll even see valve stem seals, something thats unheard of today but made possible by the friction reduction properties of the DLC coatings that you can see here. http://www.aircooledtechnology.com/coatings_2.htm Its being assembled starting tomorrow and will be dynoed in the next two weeks.... Look here for more detailed pics http://www.aircooledtechnology.com/r_d_hybrid.htm These puppies are the next level of TIV development, all the best ideas from all the basic TIV head designs ever produced all compiled into one unit.... These heads are KICK ASS! Len out did himself on the work! Lookin to put this 2316 in the "200 club" on pump gas as a daily driver. "Excellence through Research" |

Brett,
The rings are something we are trying with Nickies for the first time. We are trying it on our own, no hype from a salesperson.. As for the plug being pointed the wrong direction: That means Porsche did it wrong too, but its still good enough for us to see an 8-10% power gain as a general rule on the dyno across the board, especially down low. There is no such thing as a perfect engine, trying to create one is the first mustake that can be made. BTW- The heads that WERE on this engine were of 2.0 914 flavor. The flow numbers on these heads surpass those of the most worked over 2.0 heads on the exhaust side and the intakes were worked to the "Magical numbers"... |
