Default WTB: Damaged 2.5L Turbo Heads

Looking for 1 or 2 damaged/unusable 2.5L heads. Bent valves or cracked exhaust ports ideal. Looking to do some flow testing. Looking for them on the cheap

Would they for some reason by damaged in the process? If not you can have mine for the purpose of testing if you send it back when you're done.

Thanks Darwin. But yes, they will be damaged. I will be looking at different port shapes and then flow testing them.

Lart,

That should be fine. I do not need the valves, springs, ect. They just need to be not ported (stock).

Be interesting if you can test a stock 2.5 and a 2.7 back to back?

how are you testing them? on a port by port shape/size basis. I guess what i am saying is could you not test 4 different flow characteristics on 1 head by experimenting each port and testing independently?

If there a machine that can do that

Most definitely you can test each port individually. My phase I setup will look similar to this:

...but it will be Arduino powered

Once I get something I am fairly happy with I will take it to my guy to test on his SuperFlow bench.
