3380, port and polish intake and exhaust manifolds
Posted by 95TalonESI, Jun-14-01 09:38 AM
Does anyone have a suggestion where to have my intake and exhaust manifolds ported and polished. I'm not having any head work done, yet, but I'm trying to get as much HP out of my car untill I have it re-build.
Thanks,

Get a die grinder, a flex hose, and an air compressor (you can rent most of this from home depot for really cheap) and buy a head porting kit from summit racing. Its the standard abrasive porting kit.
I used it for porting the hell out of my cylinder head and intake/exhaust manifolds. Works like a charm. Then get ready to inhale aluminum bits!!!
Kit costs around 40 bucks.

I bought a die grinder from home depot for 20 bucks, then rented a 6 CFM OR GREATER (VERY IMPORTANT) air compressor for 39 bucks a day.
Depending on what and how much you are trying to port, you may only need one day.
For a mild manifold only port, a partial to full day will do you good.
For a WILD manifold only port, a full day will be needed
For a WILD cylinder head port, you will need a couple of days depending how many hours of those days you spend porting the cylidner head. There is a LOT of material you can take off the intake ports in the cyl head.
And yes that's the part#.

so any of you guys notice a power difference in porting the head alone?? I've heard some people didn't really feel any difference in doing so....

...because cylinder head porting lowers compression. The trick is to let air flow in and out easily without a vacuum bottleneck. I have other head modifications which thoroughly use the porting so I gained power BUT if the only thing you did was port than it could feel a bit sluggish and you might be running a little rich(from the PCM). In any case I think everyone should have the AFC and EGT
