Think so chris although i havnt looked at a TT head for quite some time. Im thinking of getting the head flow tested before i go ahead and modify this 1 and see what numbers it produces

Try paul whiffin @ whifbitz.. pretty sure he sells a kit

Well if they arnt gone by the end of the month, which i highly expect they will, ill take them

Are the the rails that work with the side mounts or is it bolted directly to the seat base jobby?

That would be my 1st thought as if you decked the recess out of the head so its flat and added a TT HG you would essentialy end up with TT head, minus the few other differences.

Ok so today i finaly got back around to stripping my spare NA head and i thought id share my findings and insights 1st here's the mess. Not the best of ideas using the kitchen table if you have another half and treasure your wedding tackle! Now before i talk about design theres the ovious differences such as different cams. The exhaust cam has a ring on the end where it meets the distributor which picks up cam position unlike the TT which uses a seperate CPS sensor on the intake cam to detect cam postion. Not to sure about the valvetrain as i dont have TT parts here to compare to. Now onto the actual design. 1st thing i looked at was the intake ports. Now i know it isnt the best picture in the world but they appear to be fairly smaller than TT ports but also higher up the head with a slightly steeper angle. Then i looked at the exhaust ports. Again not the best of pictures but it was hard to get a good shot. They seem to be larger than TT exhaust ports which suprised me as i would of thought larger exhaust ports would be better suited for turbo applications? Moving on to the combustion chamber design. The NA head has about a 0.023" recessed surface that's cast into the combustion dome For the GTE head, however, the combustion dome is flush with the bottom of the head. The difference is IMO the GE valve/piston clearance is shared between the head and the piston resulting with the very thin HG on the NA. On the TT however the HG is much thicker,about 1.3mm, and again IMO may account for most of the piston/valve clearance on the GTE design. Thoughts and opinions guys?

Nice project ash. Good luck with it

Not been home long guys and im shattered.. Have a good one. Rob here's some pics of the vette finished. I almost forgot. Been such a long day, took from 6.30 this morning till about 11 oclock between the 2 of us, me and my mentor, to get the engine back in and wired up and the entire front end reassembled. I got some pictures before i left work. Sorry no engine shots, the car was locked and couldnt be bothered going back to get the key

Be a man and heave! Its scrap anyway so get a pry bar in from some angle and lift! Just so happens ive just finished stripping my spare head almost at the same time you posted

Would you say a good percentage of the power gain at low boost is down to the stroker?

Did mikes (M5WTT) They were spot on and another set for a guy i know in ashton.... Please dont tell me yours are yellowing again, its to expensive of a refurb

Hope you still have a stock rad mate or it dont fit

Crikey thats alot for 1.35 BAR Nice result mate

To be fair it was only 1 that went tragicly wrong due to the idiots at work not realising that the new tin of laquer wasnt water based like the other which reacted BADLY and made a lovely mess of 1 The other 1 was totaly fine and still have it infact Its a souvenir now

Fucking cost me did that 1 and i still maintain it wasnt my cock up Ah well no major damage done to my pocket Ill have to pop down sometime soon again

Hey wait a minute, techincaly shouldnt i have 1st dibbs seeming i own the lights?

Now thats a destruction derby and hugely expensive!

Be good to see you daz. Been a while mate Ill get pics tomorrow if i remember. I work at sapphire garage in manchester. We have a contract with bauer millets so we see standard vettes and z06s all the time. The best toy was the dodge truck we had with the srt10 engine in it.. that was fun Ive worked on countless exotics since ive been there with chris at work. Astons, bentleys, lambos, porsches etc. Even though its owned by a complete cock its not a bad place to work Learned alot realy, just want my NVQ3 so i can move onto bigger things

Think it would be a bit of a chilly drive due to it not having its shell on yet!

Sorry guys, the vette must be finished tomorrow along with a shed load of other stuff that means im on OVER time

Im out guys, far to much work at the minute! Have a good en

Bad timing though, keep them for another say 5 months and then ill have em

I want to play

No offence but there worth alot more than £25..

No there not
