I’ll just leave this here!

This is only a prototype engine for now, but it proves its possible! Actual head which I’ll fit into the car is in the machine shop being cleaned ready for the marathon of welding I’ll need to do!
Happy Christmas everyone!

Euro924S2 do you have a link to your Bio related car build? That is one impressive NA I seem to have missed and now you have taken it to another level

 it´s a BDP (Belt Drive Porsche-type)
Instead of Ford BDA

Thanks everyone! This is only a prototype for the moment since its running 924 NA pistons without any skim of the block so down at around 6.8:1 CR. This head has also been a nightmare to weld and the more I’ve tried the worse I’ve made it! The main challenge with this conversion is the relocation of the head bolt holes. On the head gasket side it’s easy enough, but within the head, down in the depths amongst that valve guides access is very limited! I’ve tried and experimented with all sorts of TIG torches, made my own, adapted off the shelf ones and purchased lots of them! The best is about 4” long and only 1/2” max diameter, but that gets a bit unhappy when pushing 200amp through it! The 2nd biggest problem is contamination! Bathed in oil all its life, this cast aluminium is saturated with the stuff and with access so poor the weld, grind, weld, grind... cycle is difficult and tedious! Couple that with pre-heating the head before each weld etc and I grew impatient and tried to push on without proper cleaning etc ect. I also tried a few different styles of insert and I’d long since consigned this head as a prototype which would never be used on the car, but it’s taught me a lot and has now proved the concept and confirmed there were no insurmountable problems.
The head I hope will go into my car is at the machine shop as we speak and is being treated to a Len acid dip and descaler treatment (neither of which I did last time) to try and clean as much contamination off it as possible. I will then so far more grinding before I start welding this time too! Once it pressure tests ok, the rest of the process is quite quick moving oil galleries etc etc.
As for a bio, I don’t have much on here. I find the remote picture hosting a real hassle so most of my build threads are over on www.porsche924.co.uk (my user name on there is DrJohn - I’m a trauma and orthopaedic surgeon so this is just a hobby I try to make time for when I can!) You can read about my trials and tribulations with superchargers on my car for the past 10 or 11 years! I hope this 16v head and the new TVS1320 charger I have on the shelf will see me able to reach the 300bhp goal I set myself 6 years ago!

Maybe get ahold of a local place that does smaller scale forging and ask if they can bake your head to like 1,000 degrees in a forge furnace to burn all the oil out of it?
Just a thought..

Interesting thought! Although I’m not sure where the balance comes between burning off the oil and causing problems due to the heat. I spoke with the machine shop and how they pre-treat all aluminium LS7 blocks which split their bores and need welding and they said they just dip them and preheat. They suggested I pre-heat the heat before welding to ‘take the stress out of it’ and when I asked how hot I should get it, they said ‘quite hot, almost to the point the valve seats are falling out of it’! Implying if I get it too hot and the seats fall out that’s more hassle having either then or new ones fitted back in!
I’ve bought a stove suitable to heat the head and hopefully get it much hotter than the electric powder coating oven I was using which struggled to get it over 140*C.

| @Euro924S2 would an Allen Millyard style BBQing not get it hot enough? |

I totally feel your pain when it comes to contamination. If you have frequency control I sometimes try playing with that to vibrate the contamination in the molten pool to the surface. In the end though with thick material lower frequencies seem to be the best option. I have a head to weld so your description is causing me dread but you are pulling it off so I can at least give it a go. I also want to try different gas blends to increase penetration. That might help you too. Carbide grind some of the contaminated surface material and hit the clean stuff. Keep it up! This is awesome stuff

That Duratec solution got me started!
The 2.5 flow 268@0.400 which is twice as much as the 924 head
Twice the hp potiential!
(but with a modern turbo at 2 bar, does it matter..?)

So what your saying is 2x Joakim's 445 (ok thats cheating by using him but...) 890 HP 
I'm just kidding !

Back in the late '80s several of the 2 liter turbocharged four banger race cars were getting between 700 and 900 HP. Zakspeed Ford and BMW for example. It's not unheard of but there was a lot of work on the stock blocks and heads. The F-1 engines were getting even more HP.

The limit I read for the GTR's was in the 600's which is insane for that time period but then there was the BMW F1 Turbo which brought it to another level
