Turborusty Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Oh my Lord! that's gorgeous!!! And the valve cover is exactly 73x sexier than the Rallifart one.....which looks like a stupid Nissan cover. Turborusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDX87Starion Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Ok so it has FI instead of carbs. It doesnt have a forced induction plenium, yet the exhaust header goes forward as if a turbo should be mounted to it. ??? wierd. Plus, how many different style valve covers do you need for a hand full of custom heads? More than one I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd_stazza_brendan Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 These motors were mounted waaaaay back in the engine bay and the HKS car would have been RHD. Probably couldnt fit a high performance extractor set with the engine so far back and steering in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88blkiroc Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 The valve cover on the FI engine looks more prototypish while the one on the carbed engine looks more production ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I have a carb version, it's got a lot of grinding on the inside for some sort of clearance issue. It's either a design flaw or manufacturing defect. It's not uncommon for these flaws on low production units like this. One of the heads also had some welding in an odd area, looks like an inclusion or pourosity repair by one of the head stud bosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conquestTSIguy Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 as soon as I win the lottery I am going to fully finance a production DOHC for the G54B... BUT, I think I have to play to win! not really sure how it's suppose to work haha how many of these did HKS make chad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I was told 12 were made. Only one complete running engine can be accounted for (#3), and 2 other spare heads (#2 and #6). I'm sure there are a few others, but in the last 9 years, none have surfaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in that screen cap looks like it wraps up and over the distributor...can't imagine that worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Nope, that picture in Fantas post is exaclty how it was when I picked it up. Somewere on the net is a pic of that setup installed with the front oriented headder, but it's not a a very clear pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Randy(DAD) is having trouble getting new stock heads anymore, perhaps the upgrade would be a viable solution to an inevitable problem..Just a thought.. ~Roberto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd_stazza_brendan Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Solution to that problem would be getting decent heads from Australia. 2.6 DOHC would only be viable for the very cashed up, extreme enthusiast as so much needs to be reworked. New manifolds (inlet and exhaust) Ecu This would be after buying a hugely expensive head as there wouldnt be enough serious interest to make a large run. Smaller production run = higher cost. Also remember the head has to be fitted out, Valves, Cams, Timing gears. Also need custom timing chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
