Guys I'm 90% sure I've found the problem, it lies in this head thats been "gas flowed and ported". I remember when I got the head back it just looked like someone cleaned it up and put some sandpaper in the ports and made it smooth, and after doing research it says its a time consuming process...

Yes Waynne that would probably be the best way to go, not fiddle and faf with small business. Nothing was done to the valves and no I never noticed any angles being cut around the ports. Just the head was gas flowed and ported. Maybe the people I've been dealing with aren't skilled enough to...

I suppose you are right TC, misinformed advertising luring people like me in to waste their money. I have a vernier pulley dont know what you guys call it there, its a modified cam gear allowing you to adjust the timing without having to take the belt off. Its retarded at the moment, by +- 1.5...

http://www.steves.co.za/Unichip_Why_Install.html#Uni-FAQs These are they guys that put the chip in, "power gains of 10 - 30kw are common place" whereas I got only 7kw along with the other mods. So far all in all this has cost me R7650 justifying Hugoboss's equation of +- R1000 p/kw @...

Hi there, Ok I'm rather very disappointed with this costly project I've done to my car, let me explain what I've done to my 2 litre 8v in order... 4-1 branches 57mm stainless steel free flow exhaust Simota cone air filter (cold air induction) Complete service Gas flowed + port matched...

Thanx man will get that checked out... I got a quote from someone to gas flow and port the head - vernier pulley - 276 billet cam + unichip and the price is quite substantial... When I asked him what kind of power increase will that achieve he said he's not quite sure... Put me off now by...

Hey guys my first post :p Ok basically I got this car just over a month ago so still getting used to the feel and sound etc... One thing I've noticed is that when pushing it, it slacks off at about 4500 rpm and accelerates slower from there onwards, its VERY responsive in all gears below...
