Head port question, tried newbie forum with no reply

[Curt93T/T]

Not sure if the advanced guys pay attention to the newbie forum, but here's my prob.

I have a 93TT Stealth (6G72) and want to go with a stage 3 head port. Problem is that the lowest price I've found was $2400!!! A new neighbor used to have a DSM and said that was crazy, especially since the heads aren't flow benched. Does anyone know of a good shop that deals with mitsu heads? Here is what's included in the $2400 job.

The Stage 3 Heads Include:
1mm Oversized Super Alloy Ferrea Valves
Valves are back cut and swirl polished for increased flow (Ferrea Super Alloy Valves were specifically designed for high boost/high nitrous applications where extremely high combustion temperatures are present - Super Alloy Valves are used by many Top Fuel Dragsters)
Fully Ported Intake Ports
Fully Ported Exhaust Ports
Enhanced Bowl Configuration
5 Angle Valve Job
New OEM Valve Springs
New OEM Keepers and Retainers
New OEM Valve Seals
Factory Casting Flaws Removed
Reshaped Combustion Chamber
(Unshrouds Valves for Better Flow)
Combustion Chamber Flaws Removed
(helps prevent detonation by removing hot spots)
Expect gains of up to 60hp at the same boost level you are running now, depending on application, and if the turbos you are using have enough flow left.

You couldn't find any info out on www.3si.org ?

That is the reason why I am posting in here. I'm sure if there are speed shops that work on the 4G63t they'll more than likely work on mine since they are both mitsu motors. In case you don't know, there is very little support for my car/engine and my neighbor said he had his DSM head worked on for about $700 from a place in Florida, but he thinks they went out of business. I want to get the most out of my money and I know I can get the same work for less than $2400.

It sounds to me like they are trying to ding you more than once for the same thing... enhanced bowl config
reshaped combustion chamber
combustion chamber flaws
basically any time you go in and reshape w/ a die grinder or extrude hone its gonna do all that in one fale swoop. As for the rest it sounds like youd be getting your moneys worth

 

[Curt93T/T]

At first I didn't think it was a bad deal, but these heads aren't benched.

 

[realhp=turbo]

benched? as in not on the car or not bench tested?

 

[Curt93T/T]

Yeah, not on a bench. I know that I have 2 heads versus your 1, but I can't see it costing about $1500 more. The few people that I have talked to with the 2.0 said they only spent about $900 on a stage 3 port.

All I can say is keep shopping. Best bet, make friends with someone who works for an engine shop. (translation: find a discount or a deal) Sorry thats all I can offer
