D Buschur brought 4b11 and 4g63 head flow information for Intake and Exhaust valves... http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?t=339784
I bought a new EVO X cylinder head to get started on port work and such for it.
The first step is to get the head on the flow bench and see what it flows before you start, of course.
We got the head off the flow bench today. Here is a BASIC idea of what the head flows. This flowbench (like our Mustang Dyno) reads numbers lower than the typically used Super Flow bench. The bench we use is a GKN bench.
INTAKE PORT, lift was measured at the valve.
.150 141 cfm
.250 202 cfm
.350 242 cfm
.450 256 cfm
EXHAUST PORT, lift was measured at the valve.
.150 142 cfm
.250 197 cfm
.350 212 cfm
.450 219 cfm
These numbers don't mean much without something to compare them to. So here are the numbers from a STOCK EVO8 head.
INTAKE PORT, lift was measured at the valve.
.150 177 cfm
.250 221 cfm
.350 224 cfm
.450 228 cfm
EXHAUST PORT, lift was measured at the valve.
.150 135 cfm
.250 197 cfm
.350 218 cfm
.450 218 cfm
So as I expected from looking at the cylinder head the intake port is killer on the head. The exhaust port is pretty close to the EVO8 stock head which is surprising looking at it, it looks like it would suck, not the case.
There looks to be some huge gains in the cylinder head. We'll have to ruin a few before we get a finalized head but we are working on it.
