My buddy has a set of 2.0l heads that have 48mm intakes and 38mm exhaust valves. I am using weber 44idf's, My cam has .500" lift.
I intend on using my car for street and auto x. Is this a reasonable set of heads for my setup or should I go smaller? |

If the heads have been welded so the intake ports can be enlarged enough to support the full potential of a 48mm valve, and you have the right cam and exhaust with more induction than was listed and want to turn some revs, then the large valves will work okay. Otherwise you will not have as much engine as if you ran the HAM/RAT LE-200/V4.0 heads with 44x 36mm valves along with the appropriate cam, exhaust, and induction.
[quote]You could buy them and make a turbo T4...[/quote] Controlling those giant (heavy) intake valves under boost would be a challenge at any boost levels/rpm's worthwhile for such big valves. quote]Velocity would not be a problem then...[/quote] N.A. or Forced Induction, velocity is always important. [quote]Oh wait, I forgot... You can't turbo a T4 [/quote] Any engine can be turbocharged. My professional opinion is that the T4 is not a good candidate for it, at least not with any bore over 91mm. The heads don't have the strength for it. |
