A friend blew up his engine and wants to get a turbo swop. I told him between his leftover good parts and what I had laying around we could **** together an engine to last a short time till he got his swop. And this is the perfect opportunity for me to practice porting.
I started with some plexiglass and traced out the origional ports than came up with a good baseline template to work from. Than i started to drill my holes for the bridgeports and cut away with a die grinder. I'm still working on beveling the housings and need to figure out how to port the exhaust but hopefully we will learn something from this experiment. |

Any updates on this particular motor? ^^^
motor is in the car. Got it started today. Only ran for about 2 mins. has a major vacuum leak that needs fixing. Hard to explain how loud this thing really is. But I have a sixport half bridge that i thought was loud, but this beast takes the cake. All it has is a 'muffler shop special' header and 2.5 inch exhaust running on stock s4 computer with turbo secondary injectors. So I guess once the vacuum leak is sorted, and we get it running good, I wont be the only bridge port running on stock ecu in town. But mine is turbo'd so if we race, i BETTER be faster. |
nice! would be cool to get a sound clip of it runnin

You only put the turbo injectors in the secondaries? Come on,put some thought into the fuel system at least, lol are you going to have a tow truck follow you around town?
Dont get me wrong I dont mind a budget buildup, but sounds like you need straightjacket. |
So far so good. My car has been running a half bridge for 2 years on the stock ecu. just recently turbo'd it. Standalone is coming in a few weeks, but for now, i just run low boost. And i run a RICH mixture of alcohol for my alcohol injection.
Alcohol Injection > Intercoolers. Will never go back to an intercooler again. As for the motor in the pics. We started it up again today. sounds really mean. Should be taking it out for a break in run this weekend. Will also try to get a vid of the cars running. |

Ok fellas, I just threw a quick video together and put it on youtube. I had to build this engine twice because the first time I used a bad rotor. Dont ask, I thought I could get away with something.... Anyhow we are now in the process of breaking it in!
