I started on my lower intake project. I am going to be polishing the inlet and removing alot of the uneveness. Today i took the dremel to the inlet, already you can tell a huge difference. The pictures dont look that well because of the metal, it tends to leave marks with the dremel. But running my fingers across it, it when from the surface type of the outside of a blower, to a nice smooth metal feel. Still rough, but you need to use your nail to feel the bumps now.


Before


After


Ill keep updating this thread as i go, tomorrow i am going to buy some real fine grit sand paper and get it really smooth, hopefully i can polish it up some as well if i have time.

I dont plan on going crazy with this like Omega_5 more so just an average joe job, i think thers a decent amount of power to be recouped. The exit ports are really bad, they are uneven and smaller than the ports on the head.

 

That problem with my manifold is getting fixed as we speak

 

well here is the finished inlet, its very smooth, can barely feel anything with my nail, fingers its fine.

Next i am going to be having a buddy of mine who does manufacturing for automotive companies make the end plate into dual pass, then finish off with a port of the ports. Blwon-4-Banger are you porting the ports yourself or are you paying someone to do it? If your paying someone how much is it costing? and if your doing it yourself got some tips?

Next to that lump on the left i was unable to get the dremel or anything really down there, its a small spot out of the way so i dont think its going to make a huge difference.

 

i think blown4banger is having somone do it for him.

 

cool, let us know the gains!

 

once i get my intake done and a tune on it, i will be jumping on the dyno.

Mods at that point will be

-Coolant Resevoir
-Dual Pass End plate
-Port and Polish Lower intake
-2.9 inch pulley
-Custom Tune
-42lb injectors
-Modified stock airbox

If i can make 260WHP ill be happy, but i think that might be pushing it.

 

Looks good. Hope ya get big gains from the port job.

 

definitely let me know, pm me your results. Log your IAT's also. You did do a before dyno right?

 

Yea, please tell me you did...

 

nope, last time i dynoed i was stock. I have been to the track alot, so ill be more so looking for results as far as increased trap speed.

 

sounds good. Just let me know. I'm interested as I'll have to pull my intake manifold to install my dual pass when I get back, might as well do something that would benefit more power while I'm at it. But I don't want to do anything stupid and **** it up.

 

ahh come on do somthing we can all [IMG][/IMG] at!

 

You missed the reason why the intake is the bottle neck.

 

well he cant get to it unless he goes to town on that **** [IMG][/IMG] which alot of us are scared to do this to our dd

 

*does the space oddessy(sp?) theme....

I wish I had an idea of what I'm looking at...

 

The inside of the intake manifold

 

weres the before?... so we can compare... i cant wait till you release some of em!!! hope you dont mind i used your pic as a refrence! my buddy is a tank welder and can weld aluminum... i am so tempted to try this but would rather just buy from you!

 

Very very soon

 

yea the 2nd one is the actual intake of our cars

 

good man

 

Should be within 2 days becuase its going on when the killer chiller is.
