Home porting part 1 (as seen on 86.25% of the forums out there!)

[01YellerCobra]

I decided that since I was putting on the PI intake I would port the heads a little to match it. Now, I'm not a pro at this, so don't expect a whole lot from me. This is just to give other people an idea of what can be done.

There are no drain back holes in the valley to get to the oil pan. Everything else is covered. If something does make it through, it'll be small enough not to damage anything. More then likely it'll get melted in the combustion chamber. It's not the first time I've grinded on something on top of a motor. And besides, if the motor does blow, I'll have an excuse to get the stroker I've been wanting.

IMO...very very very very very very very BAD IDEA :eyes: ...All the aluminum will kill your engine, I gurantee it...Also, porting heads without out a flow bench, is like porting with a blind-fold on.....I'll give you a "B" for bravery, and I hope it works out for you...DA snake boy!!!

I agree. Plus each port will flow a different amount, if it's changed at all. Porting is more than just increasing the volume of the port. If it's not done properly, you'll lose velocity

[01YellerCobra]

Ok folks, I'm not a beginner at this shit. I was just saying I'm not a pro so people didn't start going off on the lack of precision. I'm not increasing the size of the entire port. I'm just opening up the top to match the intake. All I wanted was to get rid of the huge step that was in there. Which I did. If you actually look at the pics you'll notice I just rounded the top part of the port. I didn't really open it up. As for the aluminum, there isn't any getting into the engine. I have all the ports blocked. And a very small, and very good vacuum to get what is in there out before I pull the plugs out.

[SanDiego01Snake]

yayayaya Bob's getting a new motor!

[El Presidente]

Rob, no one said you were a beginner but take a step back and look at it from our POV. It isn't every day you see someone do port work on an engine component that is still attached to the engine. No one is talking shit just tellin you how it is. You have to admit, it isn't the best way to do it. I hope it works out for you but IMO it's a ton of work for almost no gains.

I still love you :iluvu: I'll give you a hug when I see you


BTW if we didn't like you the critics would have been a lot more vocal

Bobo is right, I go by Bob. I've actually been meaning to tell Shaun to change that.

Sorry about the blow up, but a guy can only take so much negativity. As for the time spent, I think total it's about 2 hours. Which really isn't much to me. As for the grinding on something attatched to a motor, it ain't my first time and I doubt it'll be my last. And if the motor goes, it goes and I say I was wrong. If it works, then cool, something else I can brag about doing myself.

I figured it was wrong when I typed it, but I was to lazy to double check it. I wonder how I can explain how my car caught on fire in the middle of a parking lot to my insurance? Oh well, they've seen my record, it probably wouldn't surprise them.

I'm actually amused by most of what's being said. It seems that a lot of people forgot that hot rodding used to be done in people's driveways and garages, not in some big name tuners shop.

[roorstiles]

Holy wowsers batman, word is travelling. Seems alot of people aren't agreeing with it. Bob has done this before, plus the PI intake is guaranteed to free up hp with a tune. I think it's gonna work. It may not be the prettiest port job, or the safest method to port, but function is more important anyway. Go on with your bad self homie!

FWIW Bob,
I might follow your lead if my wife ever gives me my nut sack back. I've been toying with this same idea for a year now and just can't bring myself to do it on my daily driver. I did re-tap spark plug threads on my 5.0 with the heads on the motor, but it wasn't my dd at the time. You took all the precautions that was in my plan so now I now it works which is 2/3 the battle.

G wants to get his :goatse: ported . Any takers

[01YellerCobra]

Well, I got it back together this morning. I went through and wiped everything down with wet towel. So short of washing it down with a hose I did everything I could to clean it. It started right up and smoothed out after a few seconds. It even sounds a little throatier. Now the bad news, I have to take it all apart again tomorrow. One of the gaskets shifted when putting the intake on. I thought it was ok, but I guess it messed up the RTV. So now when I rev it a nice little stream shoots out from the back of the manifold. So I know what I'm doing tomorrow afternoon. At least it wasn't making any death sounds. Oh Emerson, the hood closes fine with the intake and a plenum spacer.

Whats' the estimated HP increase for port matching the intake side... and / or both intake and exhaust sides...?

[lxlaw_wfo]

[01YellerCobra]

Most of the increases I've read about show a 10-15hp increase with just the manifold and no tune. To be honest, I'm not expecting the porting to be worth more then 1hp.

Don't worry, it'll stay running. And I wasn't bragging about it still running, I was informing everyone that doubted me. And for having more power, that's a given when you swap a PI intake onto a non-PI car. You might want to enlighten your friends on that.
