I have seen this head.

The inlets are " Knife edged ", they have been opened out slightly and IMO a good job.

If anyone wants to know i too flow heads, i agree Whipsey show a side on PORT shot.

This was posted...

I think everybody deserves a CMF flow chart of various valve lifts to show the actual improvements before people start "just buying"

That depends on Cam, etc ( valve lift ) shows how much you know...... winkeye

Sorry guys i agree with Gunni it does need a cfm chart at various valve lifts and clear details about how and who is doing these heads as those pictures certainly do not sell it to me as a professional job regardless of cost.

Bit of a generalisation here but knife edged inlets like that on a 4v/cyl head are a bad thing, contrary to initial impressions. Flow tested my golf head when at uni when I was diy porting it and proved what I'd read in various books.

Which was? Im intrigued to hear about "Your findings".
I have flowed more heads than i care to remember.

Quite frankly i dont care what people make of that statement, those that know me, know.

How? does a cnc machine make them better?

How many people here ACTUALLY KNOW what they are talking about? How many have experience in the tuning world? ( not just Bm's ) ??

Like Whipsey said, he is just trying to " do people a favour " he makes nothing from this, it seems to me that there is alot of talk and no action, has Halfords run out of stickers???? winkeye

You obviously have no idea who Gunni is.. He know his onions.

Of course CFM changes with different cam specs, but what is wrong with showing a comparison using the same cam?

Also CFM is only part of the story..

No way would I throw £450 at a head without seeing some numbers, doing a favour or not

it would be better if he got it tested and then came back with independant figures.. Can guarantee that would get him some interest/sales then (long as it produced the goods..)

Jhonno, no i dont know Gunni, but then again you dont know me! ( nor does he! ) lol.

Im not into the Bm scene......... i bought a cheap touring and Whipsey suggested i look on here for parts.

Whipsey was trying to do " a favour " it strikes me that people are quick to jump all over someone else, yes he may not understand the dynamics of air flow but he knows Bm's, i dont and to be frank id rather stick with my V8's.

Says it all? LOL Sorry Whipsey but i think my membership here is long due for cancelation! Even though i have 2 Bm's!

Where did i mention cnc machine?

CFM charts are measured at various valve lifts has nothing to do with cams as your measuring port and valve flow characteristics to quantify what is happening. Were just asking for some basic data and infomation which everyone is entitled too, poorly worked heads can easily loose power and torque just because its been polished with a dremmel does not automatically means improvements.

For the record I have plenty of experience outside BMW and know what I am talking about :cry:

You didnt mention a cnc machine but Dremmel???? is that not an insult?

Yes poorly "flowed" heads are worse than standard i agree.

This is a huge subject one that cannot be covered here. There are too many factors to consider.

This started off as a guy trying to do people a favour and turned into a slagging match, i have nothing to prove here, i dont have the need.

I wish you all the best, your needs are greater than mine.
