Please tell us more about these

They are bad ass works of art!

Hi to everyone

Didn't want to post anything until they are race proofed.

VERY nice, thank you for sharing.

I like the angle  :)  And you also get extra points in my book for not copying someone else.

beautiful! a work of art.

I can only imagine how many hours it must take to machine one. and i bet you are very happy they are aluminum and not stainless steel (it takes so much more time to machine and is hard on tools)  ;)

truely a beautiful head.

 ;)

Are those exhaust guides canted over Mexx?

Both valve guides are clearly canted in my eyes = superior flow at higher lift.

intake & exhaust are canted

I could test those for you. ;)

When I win the lato I'm going to give you a call MeXX !

awesome

I spotted a big problem! Better remove those heads and sell them to me Mexx, they do not fit your car at all.

(http://www.raceinfo.no/temp/CIMG0122.jpg)

I also noticed the additional inlet in the intake channels. For injectors, fuel or nos? Perhaps both?

Again thank you for sharing. Let us discuss my specs and the price so that you can bring my pair to SCC this August :)

-BB-

Now THATS some nice work right there ; )

very very nice and extreme project
Any flow number and valve size ?

Imagine how happy the Gol community is going to be!!  ;D

Seriously you have the skills, the contacts, the drive and the balls to try something because YOU believe in it...  the definition of a hero in my world!

Hi Mexx, what is the valve interference lift with the diameters you used on the prototypes ?

Mexx - Words can't do your work justice! Awesome work......What CAD and CAM software do you use? Lots of work went in to this for sure....... 8)

Cool, the exhaust is obvious,
but the intake angle is very subtle, likely only a degree or so.
What were the flow numbers? 369cfm 25" at what lift?

Dear Dave

Intake is 4° canted and flowed 369 CFM @ .800 lift
Exhaust is 5° canted and flowed 245 CFM @ .750 lift

the head is still in progress ...

amazing work  8)

Cool, thanks!

Those are the most beautiful things I've ever seen Mexx!

Those heads are unreal!!

Whoa! :o Impressive work, Mexx!

.800 lift ? I thought I had a lot with .630. What is the ratio of the rockers 1.8:1 or more?

wonderful  engineering

I held them in my hands (twice) yesterday!   ;D ;D ;D

Jon, me too, they are gorgeous.  (by the way its twice)

Absolutely awesome work bring engines to another level you are one talented man !!

you should fix your pushrod-tube spring  ;D
really nice heads, well done!

Cool.

did you also switch to roller cam (as mentioned?)

Maybe a lower CR?  ??? ???

Would be a pity if you melt those beauties.  :o :o :o

Cool heads

Hey Mexx

How did you get on last weekend? Did you get a  chance to test them in anger?

All my best

Alex

no, starter broke

 ;D

Dear Alex

As Karl mentioned I was not able to test them at the race on the 29th of March in HU.
Sometimes there are small parts that prevent the great things to happen.  :'( :'( :'(
After first warm up the engine was runnin' pretty well, and only some minor changes were done.
Second start up was  the same as wells. But when I tried to start the engine and go racing the starter broke and I was unable to start again.

MeXX

Yesterday I got the second chance to test the new heads in a racing event.
Although it was only 1/8 mile on a very dirty road track the engine and the clutch performed very well.
Being able to run the best time of the day with a 5,87 and beating the 1300 HP Audi quattro by 1/100 of a second.

amazing WORK , and that event looks cool too  8)

Very nice cyl heads, good looking cyls too. Any spects on engine, case type, bore, stroke. What type of fuel ( gas - alky) ? Looking into building a Midget engine. Your parts look great.

Thanks Tony

You're a brave man running your car down that " track".

As seen in the "clutch thread" Mexx did a 9.1 in 2013 with 5.9 in the 1/8mile on a prepped track.

Now, with those heads he was running same ET on that "dirt track"   ::) ::) ::) WOW.

Beautiful Work -- -- Great performance

I KNOW someone put the 600 into the video just to get me upset LOL

Hi

I was out for racing on Sunday.
I was not really happy when I realiced that the traction was much better than expacted and my 4-link was set up for to much anti-squat resultring in a car that dented to wheelie heavily. Never the less I was able to win the final, and run a daily best of:

60 feet   1.458
1/8        5.985 @ 198.41km/h
1/4        9.158 @ 247.81km/h

Great!

But I guess if you let Freddy drive, the first 8 is here soon. ;D ;D ;D

Its perfect engineering, a great car, a good track.

So the last missing piece in this puzzle must be a good driver  ???

9.158!  :o
How much nitrous?

Dear Jon

As engine is still new I was runnin' less nitrous than usual keepin' the nitrous pressure lower (900 psi instead of 1050 psi)
and retardin' the ignition 2° more as I still didn't find the time for dyno.
So I guess the added horsepower was around 170-180 Hp.
The plan for the next week is to visit the dyno, and go for racing at Bechine (CZ) on 25-27 of April on a very well prepped track.

MeXX

Didnt you notice that T&T in Bechyne was cancelled?

Obviously they are preparing the "track" for an upcomig war in russia. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Hi

As T&T in Bechyne was canceled we changed our plans and will go on 30 of April & 1. of May to Kunmadaras (HU)
one of the best tracks I have ever raced.
The track is 70m wide and from the staring line to the end 2500m long and perfectly prepped.

Will be thinking of you this weekend, Good Luck with it :D

Good luck Mexx!

Fingers crossed :)

Just finished my engine rebuilt, no measurable wear just for safety and to get more experience which parts wear how fast.
Tomorrow I will rebuilt my gearbox.
On Monday I will rebuilt my vertigate shifter.
On Tuesday I will get everything ready for racing.
And on Wendsday we go racing.

So Long

That track looks good . is it at Ungarn ??

Udo

Dear Udo

Every year same track @ Kunmadaras
http://www.kunmadarasmotorsport.hu/web/en/

To be honest the best track I have ever raced.
Perfect track preparation and organisation.
Although it was a one day event and nearly 400 participants I had the possibility to do 6 runs.
That's the way how racing should be.
A big honor to be part of it.

Drag or Die

Big LIKE & LOVE. I love success stories like this.
Congratulations!

he told me the phone rang a couple of times this weekend  ;D

Hey Karl!
Could you find out for everyone,
what 'pressure drop' was used for the flow figures?
Thanks, Dave.
 ;)

his reply was: "lemmy guess who asked? Dave?"
