I saw some pics a while back from someone who had done some porting[grinding away of excess material]on their intake.I have a Dremel Moto-tool and posess fairly competant mechanical ability.Is this a "do-it-yourself job?Is is of any benefit with the stock t/b in place or would I want to get an aftermarket unit?Anybody have Dyno #'s with actual gains?Thx in advance!
-Dave.

 

I have done the upper intake work. The main porting work is done by extrude honing the intake. From there I used a Dremel tool to match port the T/B to the intake. Dyno proven gain of 11-13hp. See my galley for a couple of pics.

 

Silver bolt.Who did the extrude hone for you?What did it cost?Turn around time?
Thanks again!-Dave

 

Do you have any pictures of the intake before it was honed?

 

Hey Silver I went to your gallery.What's the carbon fiber tube?BA bolt's Power pipe would sure look sweet on there.

 

I was wondering if anyone would ever notice my teaser photo of the carbon fiber tube. Just something I was playing with. It's actually part of the intake from my BMW. I don't have any pre-porting photos, however I do have the stock intake and will take some and post. They are very rough inside.

 

Here are some intake photos you can review.
Stock adapter cut open no cleanup.


Here is a view down the throat of the stock adapter. Gee Wiz what do I see flashing on the inside from machining the vacuum ports in. Does anyone remember this mantra "Quality is Job #1"? Yea sure!


Final view. Just say Ah. This is the Extrude-Honed adapter.

 

Thanks BABolt. Much better example than I can display. Now does everyone (skeptics) see how/why this needs improving? You will have your work cut out trying to do this with a Dremel type tool.

 

how much does it cost to have someone do it for you?

 

Biggy-

You have some email.

 

BA BOLT,

How much do you want to do this?

Thanks!

 

Soooo...How much $$?How long of a turn-around time??

 

Would anyone post PN's of the gaskets required to R&R the upper intake/TB ? Thanks

 

Qball... can you email me as well?

Thanks!
