So after doing the 2nd head in as little as 4 months (dodgy mechanic not doing the first one right even after i forked out a grand for it ) i have decided its time to do some upgrade work to the old ed. Now i need some advice as to what i need.

Obviously 1st of all i need a new cylinder head . 2nd i do a lot of towing over long distances ( small trailer and racecar weighing around 300kg ) normally 300 to 1000 km at a time so i know i need something that can handle the long trips at 100km + consistantly but i also want something thats goes a little harder on the street as its also my daily driver

any advice is always welcome

Steve

Prolly cheaper to throw a low km motor in it mate? Maybe from an ef-au

Yep agree with Carl, be a lot cheaper. AU motors are bullet proof!

Maybe change the intake, exhaust and a mild cam and it would help it out a bit wink.gif
