Me and my buddie were able to work on the bench a bit more today. Pressure pickups were added and the bench was sealed up. We also got the D15/D16 head adapter made. Couldn't get flow numbers due to a serial cable malfunction, but we did get test the bench for leaks and mount up a z6 head for a quick test flow with an open port and no valves. All in all it was a productive day. Tomorrow will we will have set up the flow testing software and made the valve opening fixture to get some numbers on a z6 head and z6 intake manifold! I will mount up a 1.6L miata head once I get my cylinder back from the machine shop. I will give some stock flow number on that also.

What numbers do you want to see? The only things I have tested have pertained to Honda engines.
I can get a 1.6L miata head on the bench. Would that be sufficient?
I do it for cheaper than that! Maybe I could start doing headwork for flyin miata and lower the cost a bit

Update: I got my Velocity probes in today. The bench is fully operational now.
I have had many cylinder heads on the bench so far. All with good results!
Now send me some things to flow test!

I have a really accurate pressure sensor for sale that you might have some use for. Its in the classified section.

I used it for fuel pressure but you can use it for any type of liquid or gas up to 100 psi-abs.
