Hi,

Does anyone know of a guide of enlarging the chambers on a standard 998 head to lower the CR?

I've searched online but haven't had much luck, maybe I'm using the wrong keywords/terminology?

Buy David Vizard's book, Tuning the A series engine. That'll get you going.

I have done already, although not had the time to sit down and concentrate.

So your saying the details are outlined in the book?

Don't have the yellow bible myself but any basic pointers for a complete novice?

easiest and best thing is to send it to someone, TurboPhil and Benross on here both do good head work and at good prices too. ball park your probably looking at 100 quid to get the chambers done.

What casting are you working with ?
The Vizard book shows you where to remove material in reference to valve size. What kind of volume do you need ?

Its in there. Just a bit complicated becaus he shows the different things with different valve suzes on 1 drowing. But once you get it piece of cake. I use a dremmel few years of my life becaus of the dust and 3 to 4 hours a chambre... really... if you arent in a shitty land where everzthing seems to be costing more then gold like i am... just get it done by a pro.

you can do anything if you set your mind to it...
i rather blow it up winning than keep it together losing.

finish date set for project 1... march 2018

Hats of to you Rammie. That's determination, 3-4 hours a chamber with a dremel !! Wow.

yes on a na 998 head. im doing the turbo been 6to 7 hours now to get it big enough ( on first chamber) pics on here somewhere. its based on how your avatar looks. so aprox 24 hours to do the whole head but if getting it done here would cost me 500 euro at least. not rich but if i want it i go for it... hahaha

If you don't have access to a compressor/die grinder you'd be better off getting a cheap flexible shaft for a drill, though no ideal, with proper carbide bits it would still be much quicker/easier than with a dremel.

Yes, eventually. It's getting reworked, but other things are taking priority at the moment.

Ok - great, it's a project that will probably take a year or 2, I'm hoping to build a 1275 turbo using the principles you describe. at some point I will probably be coming to you for some head work etc
