Wanted: trashed 300 head

[Napalm00]

I need to do some more porting on my current 300 head. I have a late model 300 head. I'm looking for a trash 300 head that I could cut apart so I can measure how far I can go without destroying this one.

Anyone ?

i dont have one but i would really like if you shared what you find!

 

[Napalm00]

Of course

There is a guy in Portland who sells on Craigslist. Might be the guy with the white RRC on there now. Unsure.

I've sent a couple emails, will let you know what I find.

On a side note, didn't Roberto D. have a bunch of garbage 300tdi stuff for sale recently?

 

[Napalm00]

Hmmmm all good points, I'll ask Mr 292

not directly related, but i came across this thread tonight which has details on ARP studs for the 300tdi. may be of interest for a high perf build.

Hi all, an update on the Stud kit I fitted to my disco's head all went well felt much better than original bolt set, I have done 450km since head was shaved 010' thou, and valves re-seated. The e

You're going to want to to have those to contain all 34 horsepower within the combustion chamber.

i know, anemic. i am not convinced that anyone has really tuned a tdi to anywhere near its actual limit. so much of the tuning knowledge is from old world sheep farmers looking for a little more go without having to do much. i think that with a correctly put together setup it is absolutely feasible to have a 200 plus horsepower / 350 tq 300tdi but it will take over 30 pounds of boost to get there. queue the head studs (and o-ringed head).

i imagine napalm is thinking the same thing with a fully ported head.

Yep I'm o-ringing the head with a MLS gasket and had measured for arp studs. This is helpful

Reulparts in France has made a 200hp 200tdi on 27lbs of boost

I would love to hear how this turns out.

 

[Napalm00]

Lol it's gonna be a while , I'll make a thread when I'm done .

Will be better than a Turner Enginnering gas flowed head?

 

[Napalm00]

I've ported numerous heads in the past, but have never even seen a Turner ported head up close. Take of that what you will

who is doing the o-ring for you and where are you sourcing the MLS gasket?

share any links or info to the Reulparts engine if you can.

Local machine shop , Rover gasket


Reulparts is on Instagram, also had an article in lro about it , no links unfortunately.

I have a trashed 300tdi head ... i replaced it with a turner ported version. Ping me a DM if you still need it.

 

[Napalm00]

Bingo , thx . Pm inbound

You shaving the head too? I know that helps quite a bit...

After it's assembled, I'll be measuring the Piston protrusion with a sled gauge. This with valve setback will tell me how far I can mill the head and still have space for an oring.

Short answer, yep
