hey guys jus wondering if you could help me out. im thinking of swappin the head on my feroza for the hd detomaso head. would there be any problems wif such a conversion?? on paper they look the same but would there be much difference in real life terms? or would it be better to jus send the factory head to be ported, polished, possibly shaved a few thou and a custom billet or reground camshaft fitted for better low down torque (from idle to bout 4000rpm). wat is better bang for buck in mods for na setup.
already have pod filter and full exhaust.
any info would be great.

From all the info posted about Detomaso's it appears the only head difference is the cam. I also read somewhere Ferozas have a different thicker head gasket- but don't know if that is correct?

are you definately sure of this bro?? i sort of dont want too run into any problems wif such a job...also has anyone tried those electric superchargers thingys??
if you go for a belt driven blower where do you put it-wat pulley? i have 94 sx 11 wif no air.

I seriously doubt those electric "superchargers" do anything at all.

Don't waste your money...get a real supercharger!

there is a supercharger on ebay at the moment off a 1.6 charade, it may have the mounting brackets and all. would be perfect for the feroza...

murcod i hav heard a lot from the guys on daihard.org that the cam compnay you suggest isnt good due to dodgy workmanship and bad customer service. im thinkin of tryin someone here in sydney for cam specs but thanks for the suggestion dude.
the blower is prob wat im lookin at but mountin positon is the problem for me. wat shop do you suggest i see bout this preferably in sydney?
