Cylinder head port&polish in Europe?

vadim83 · 04-09-2011, 08:37 AM

Hey guys, greetings from Russia! I'm planning to visit the Nurburgring during the summer and I'm wondering is there any good companies around Germany that can prepare my head? I heard head flow can be improved a lot on our N54 and I would like to rebuild and do some porting...any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cylinder head P&P can be a waste of money unless done properly and then it's a poor return on the investment. A proper P&P on an N54 head will cost $5,000+. Anything less is likely to be a hack job that will reduce power and airflow velocity.

Even increasing intake valves can be beneficial for the n54 so I don't think 5 grands is the starting point but for sure it will be expensive job and I'm ready for it..I've seen one company here offering p&p heads but they are in the States and they need a core so I'm trying to find someone a little bit closer to my location ;-)
