RMW big head, cams, and pistons

It seemed back in 2011 RMW had developed a big head, cams, pistons, and conrods for the R56 but I have heard and seen nothing since then. Does anyone know if these things were just tossed and not developed further or something?

Nope. That's in testing. Jan doesn't sell things that aren't fully vetted.

The flow table results for the head are VERY impressive.

Awesome! I do want to go this route once I'm done paying off the car. Just trying to gather up some info for my engine build options, but if Jan has all this still in the works then I have no problem biding my time

Yep. I can't speak for him (and apparently he's not allowed to speak for himself here), but I expect that when it's ready it'll be like his R53 rotrex engine builds (aka fast and reliable and working out of the box)

Well if you have an 'in' with him and the development of these parts, please keep me in the loop if you don't mind.

I'm curious as well primarily for the headwork he's doing and it blows that he's not able to post on here about the development work and flow results he's getting.

I don't have an "in", but I'll be happy to update here.

Agreed about not letting RMW on the forum, but I think that battle has been fought and isn't worth dealing with again. You can find them on other forums.
