Does the B18 header bolt up? I'd like to see 200whp out of a DE again. Haven't seen one since Mike K and his Dog Car.
Ref the Janspeed Head, you got me there! It wasn't free.
The B18 header needs a bit of work to make it fit. Its not just a case of swapping to an SR head flange as i'd hoped. Its also quite tight between the engine brace and sump, so i decided to modify the secondaries to group them closer togother in order to fit in that space.

Please use the C6M cams. I had forgotten about these.
I want a 250whp DE. I would not worry about the idle, as you can just bump it up. If this is a daily driver, forget it. But if it is a street legal toy.. i dont see any reason not to.
Do you have any head flow test #'s from this head?
*edit * The only major limiting factor i see here with going all out on this is the compression and fuel availability. you are running VE pistons with probably no custom valve reliefs, so C6Ms may not even clear that. However if you ditched them and went to a 13:1 CR setup the C6MS might be worthwhile.
The car is used pretty much daily, so I don't think i'll be going to the C6M.
13:1CR on our UK 99RON with these JWT C3 cams should be okay.
I havent had this head flow tested, i would like to get some numbers..so we'll see.
The pistons i'll be using are a set of used CP 12.5:1 VE items, they have deep valve reliefs so no problem there.
Anyway, the main update here was the Tri-Y header fitment...the other plans with pistons and ITB's are a little while away. I will keep you guys posted as and when something happens.
