EJ Taylor 22 Posted June 6, 2016 Anyone changed there cylinder head for an upgraded one? Anything to bare in mind when doing it? Where did you get yours from? 12v? 24v? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EJ Taylor 22 Posted June 6, 2016 Theses look pretty decent? http://www.tsr-performance.com/webshop/cylinder-heads-head-parts-and-camshafts/tsr-pack-a-gasflowed-and-ported-cylinder-heads/vr6-12-valve-tsr-pack-a-gasflowed-and-ported-cylinder-heads/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

captainredeye 0 Posted June 6, 2016 I considered this before from what o have read and weighing up the cost of a ported head you may as well go the whole hog and have enlarged valves also Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Difference between with big valve around 15bhp and better mid range power band and that's the only engine modifications I've got!!

Jim 2 Posted June 6, 2016 Worth talking to Jon at Stealth? He built a very high power turbo 12V VR6. Sure he knows a thing or two about building a stronger head. Schimmel Peformance sell all the bits needed for rebuilding a head to cope with more power as well :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schimmel Peformance sell all the bits needed for rebuilding a head to cope with more power as well :) good thinking, now you say it i remember last time i was down they had a few heads on a work bench, ill see if they could offer some sort of head package (so to speak) haha. Once they've established whats actually happened! going to take alot longer now, was booked 24th june - 1st july, vinve said they dont really have time but he will squeeze it in between other jobs so could be 2/3/4 weeks. wishing my entire year away month by month waiting on the bloody thing. As long as its done before MIVW i will stay sane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted June 6, 2016 Techtonics tuning in the US sell all the components for it in a nice little kit, these are on my list for next black friday. http://techtonicstuning.com/main/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2_138_140_405_348&sort=20a&page=2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted June 6, 2016 "Man in the shed" does group buys on CGTi and other forums, he does the heads for many of the big names in VW tuning, but stays behind the scenes working rather than talking on the telephone / internet so I can't find any contact details online (the mods on CGTi have his contact details, maybe someone on here too?). If you google "man in the shed heads" there's a few links for this forum / CGTi etc, the pics of his work look amazing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VEEDUBBED 0 Posted June 6, 2016 I'll second what coullstar said. Which reminds me, I've got a spare 9A valver turbo short block for grabs.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
