Title: JPM heads, lets hear some feed back please Post by: Rocket Ron on October 18, 2008, 10:51:32 am I got to see these at EBI this year and they looked very good quality. I have noticed that the cars running them seem to be pushing out some impressive figures for their cc size.
It would be interesting to hear your feed back if you are running these heads. What are the specifications of your engines and running temps etc. It would be fantastic to hear from someone that has hp figures for your engine before and after fitting them.

http://www.shoptalkforums.net/viewtopic.php?t=121444 i got them on my 2779 oxyboxer. can only say good things about them :) Title: Re: JPM heads, lets hear some feed back please Post by: Petter Carlberg on October 18, 2008, 22:26:32 pm I´ve run my heads for three seasons now and are really happy with them. I´m runnig a 2332 with 51mm IDA´s, fk46. (will probably go for somethig wilder for next season) Up to now no issues with them, I love the heavy duty rocker assembly!
Title: Re: JPM heads, lets hear some feed back please Post by: Torben Alstrup on October 19, 2008, 08:59:24 am I built a 2387 with a Web 251 cam and JPM heads, 1,5 JPM rockers. 225 hp. After the dyno pul we found a couple of minor erros which gave noticeable more power. So I´d say that it is over 230 hp now. It also "only" runs 11,7 - 1 CR at this stage. That will most likely be increased to 12,2 - 1 for the next season.
I can vouch for them. T Title: Re: JPM heads, lets hear some feed back please Post by: Tomi on October 20, 2008, 07:18:04 am I have JPM heads in my 84 x 101.6 street engine with FK91/89 cam, 1 7/8 header and 50mm throttle bodies. Compression is only 10.5:1. The engine made 241hp @ 6950rpm and 278nm @ 4950rpm through restrictive muffler running very rich, lambda 0.69 at worse. After the dyno pull I mapped the engine, got the lambda up to 0.82 - 0.85, and now it pulls much stronger through the whole rev range. Next I will raise the compression to 12:1, change to better flowing exhaust and tune some more. I'm really happy with the heads, they stay cool and I got these numbers with "out of the box" heads, no porting or anything. I'm also planning to send the heads to Johannes and get them ported to whole new level.

anyone got these on a turbo car ? Title: Re: JPM heads, lets hear some feed back please Post by: Roman on October 21, 2008, 20:54:19 pm The CSP Turbo Ghia has them!

If you build an engine with JPM heads you are looking for that extra and tend to go as high as you can. JPM has 10.6 compression in his own daily driver 2276, making 222 hp.

Title: Re: JPM heads, lets hear some feed back please Post by: Ragtop on October 22, 2008, 12:07:35 pm Hi!
I also got a set to my new racecar. They will be on a 2332 with autronic sm2 EFI, E85, Big turbo. Will be interesting how the combo will work out.

How’s it going, any other races coming up on that side of the pond ?

Those throttle bodies are NICE also! The engine pic in the new Hotvws is also BADASS! |
