ok i got a d16y8 head soon to toss in skunk2 titanium retainers/ turbo springs/ and valves. now for the questions. which valves should i choose standard compression or high compression? also if i get the overbored size +.5mm valves how is that going to affect the car daily driven, also i dont know what kind of camshafts to run prolly going to run stock due to comfort unless anyone has any input.

 

the person you need to talk to is riceburner he is the head guru on here so he might be able to help u out alot more than me.

 

oh another question,what is a good price for a port and polish and to have the head hot tanked? i'd like to know b4 i got around to asking the shops

 

there is so many different ways to port and polish its not even funny, are you looking for a gasket match simple port? street port/polish? N/A head port, F/I port, Nitrous port? Weekend only all out drag car port? hot tanking usually runs about $30-50 bucks depending on were you go

 

i definately want it gasket match port since im getting a metal headgasket thats a direct fit.

 

when you gasket match a head you match the intake manifold side and exhaust side. If you are gonna open up the combustion chambers to match the bore of your block your gonna need to CC the chambers so they are even and one doesnt flow more than the other

 

ah i c thnx for clearing some of that up, now about the valves would there be a difference from the oversized to the stock size? and which ones should i get high compression or standard compression, not going to run that much boost for awhile til i get a aem ems system for the turbo kit.

 

if your gonna get a turbo camshaft for boost you could go up to a .5mm oversized. Since you arnt going all out on the motor 1mm oversized would be way over kill. I would get a dish style valve for your application.
