OK, so I've searched here, google, etc. and couldn't find what I'm looking for. I the easy part is port and polishing the head. That can be done at a machine shop. I want to turbo the SOHC for my own reasons and I want to stick with it. Finding forged lower end parts for it isn't too difficult... amsperformance.com I just have to bore the block a bit. But the problem I run into is trying to find parts for the head ie: Valves, Springs, etc.

I want to boost about 15psi by the time im done and really I just want a COMPLETE job done. I found a place that does SOHC performance cams, but I lost the website.

Where can I find SOHC performance parts for the head???

Edit* FINALLY found the site that has the SOHC cams: http://www.pdm-racing.com/products/cam_corner.html

To get the single cam head to flow, you really have to remove a lot of material.

I'd just turn up the boost and call it. I'm running 11-12psi of boost on a 50 trim t3/t04e on my single cam with a stock head. No worries at all.

Hi,If you guys are having a some trouble finding valve springs don't feel alone, I had the same problem.I just talked to a few companies out there and I think I found one that is willing to work with this issue.As soon as I have something solid on this issue with the valves springs I will let you guys know.I will keep you posted.

on your site do you have a cam for the ka24e that delivers mid to upper rpm power? i mostly see low-mid power gains.. also if you pay that extra $75 core charge i dont have to send in a cam correct?
