ESIrType? Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 Looks good, how much did you open it up by? Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zactek Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Looks clean, but are you changing the compressor wheel to match the new bore? If you enlarged the whole inlet all the way thru but by not changing the compressor wheel you might lose the velocity of the incoming air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzord30 Posted February 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 No, i didnt port it where the wheel is just the inlet part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zactek Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Cool, otherwise you'd be spoolin that turbo and barely sucking in any air thru the inlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
propeine Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 i'm impressed with the amount of port work you're doin. The turbo looks really good. I started workin on my intake last night. Just minor work but still every little bit helps till I go MPI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjnitke Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 I don't understand. Is 'porting' just a smoothing out of the ridge? If so, how does this improve performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zactek Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Porting is enlarging a hole. By doing that it removes restrictions, letting more air in. It might be small, but every little bit counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
