Port & Polished Head

[CARENT]

need some help here....

I am planning to do a complete prot and polish of my engine head.

A 4G93P DOHC. What will be the things to look out for when negotiating for the price???

I have asked around and found that the prices can range from RM900 to RM1,800!!!

I don't really know now since the price range is that big!!!

Please HELP!!!

Powerzone quoted me RM1,800

I don't doubt their expertise, but the pricing is about double that of the lowest one. So, not sure la... I just need to know what causes the difference in pricing. Otherwise, no point just to send then find out that other people doing the same thing for a much lower price (I understand that technical ability will play a big role, but should not be up to double right?) Unless it is very high quality products. Service should not be too high.

Thanks bro for the information.

Will check with them again.

heh, usually the cheap ones will provide u with cheap imitation gasket, valve seats, improper valve grinding (leads to sleeve leak) and ugly porting work. You get what you pay for. If you feel RM1800 is expensive with original replacement parts and good workmanship, u should see the bill from breakdown aftermath repair because failure of imitation parts and sloppy work (overbored / unfinished inlet polishing cause improper air fuel mixture and turbulence, resulting higher FC and HP loss)

For engine works, always seek reputable garage and recommended as it's a very critical work, unlike change wiper or sparkplugs that even you can do it yourself.

Maybe u can try discuss with cobramotor (member), maybe he can give u a bit less price than PZ.

i would agree with Kopi....
find a reputable shop....coz this is considered internal mods which i would say the begining of major engine mods. some even provide 3 angle cut valves mods. lighten crankshaft etc....

welcome to the darkside...... once u start probing into internals the quest for performance is inevitable....

just my 2 cents

1- i dont really know if our guys are porting it correctly because the cars are not dyno tested before and after the porting and polishing is done.

2- the 4G93P DOHC has a modern cylinderhead design so you may only need to do polishing and port match the inlet and exhaust manifold.

3- even if you do the port and polish work, dont forget to port match the cylinderhead with the inlet and exhaust manifold, you dont want to have a high flowing head with a constricting inlet and outlet. most of the owners forget abouit this point.

Ok, so will have to go Dyno first la...

Maybe what u say is right. Will talk to the mechanics first.

Thanks bro..

can i know wat the they will do for the port & polished? and wat was the affect?

 

[spyderslr]

bro, b4 u consider doin port n polish, i think its advisable to invest in some engine tuning devices such as cam pulleys n piggybacks to complement the increase in air flow....if not, there wun b huge effect.....just my opinion...cheerzzz

 

[crocky]
