Frankenstein Engine Dynamics is dedicated to making the most advanced high performance cylinder heads in the industry. We assembled the best team of designers, engineers and machinists from across America. Our unique approach to cylinder head porting ensures the highest quality, tightest tolerances and our own in-house port designs which are proven to generate extreme power efficiently and reliably.
We are often asked how our cylinder head porting services generate more horse power. Many are surprised to learn that flow numbers from a flow bench do not reflect cylinder head power capabilities. How do ported heads make more horsepower? Extreme horsepower capability is a product of three critical elements, the intake port, exhaust port and combustion chamber. Advanced cylinder head porting synchronizes these three cylinder head elements for the purpose of high velocity flow, rapid ignition and combustion as well as efficient purging.
The trinity of advanced cylinder head porting includes:
- Cylinder head intake port geometry, taper and shape are refined by cnc machine to enable high velocity flow. Each cylinder head casting has inherent design characteristics based on its application. The casting type determines the port program, which is developed and refined by Frankenstein to generate optimal airflow. The cnc port program ensures ideal airflow based on the following: runner length, volume, guide placement, valve angle and valve location relative to the chamber. Intake port designs also factor valve job type, chamber shape, plug placement, cam lift and engine displacement. Frankenstein's cylinder head intake ports generate high flow and high in-cylinder flow motion of the air-fuel mixture as it enters the combustion chamber. High velocity of flow compacts or "supercharges" the air-fuel charge in the chamber while generating extreme turbulence, which is the ideal condition for rapid ignition and combustion.
- Cylinder head exhaust porting is a critical aspect of cylinder head porting, and Frankenstein leverages this key performance factor others overlook. Advanced cylinder head porting optimizes exhaust port performance characteristics relative to intake port flow and the combustion chamber's accelerated combustion capability. Frankenstein exhaust port designs revolve around optimizing the overall port shape, which accounts for guide boss geometry, casting style, runner length and orientation, chamber size, intake velocity, pressures and engine performance targets in addition to power adder type. Each FED exhaust port cross section is precisely machined to ensure exit velocity is consistent across the cross-sectional area of the port.
- Why does advanced cylinder head porting make so much more horsepower? The answer in a nutshell: rapid combustion. Due to FED's systemic approach to intake and exhaust porting, the combustion chambers see higher kinetic turbulence and ram charging which generates peak ignition speed and an accelerated burn rate. The effective outcome is maximum horsepower capability in naturally aspirated engines and exponentially higher performance with power adders.
Frankenstein's advanced cylinder head porting steps:
- Complete teardown, cleaning and inspection.
- FED's high performance porting via 5-axis CNC to synchronize and optimize intake and exhaust port performance characteristics in conjunction with combustion chamber optimizing. (some casting chambers don't apply)
- Pressure testing for leak detection.
- Precision Newen CNC valve job which ensures near zero runout.
- All sealing surfaces and ends are PCD machined true.
- Meticulous hand blending and deburr.
- PCD surfacing optimal for modern MLS head gaskets.
- Final wash and assembly to strict tolerances.
- Extreme attention to detail and quality at every stage.
