Engine porting
#1
I will be porting my housings in the next week and I was wondering what everyones preferred steet port config was. As you know there are a few different ways of steet porting. I am just planning on taking it as big as possible, any thoughts or suggestions/warnings. I will have access to PFS port templates I believe. I think Rays templates are pretty big from what I remember. Dragon I 'm sure you have some experience here right?

There really isn't much to it. The only trick is just going slow as not to get in a rush and break throught the back side of the housing while grinding it out. A new housing will run you about $300 if you screw up. I'll get this thread rolling by Monday.

When I open up the ports for the exhaust it's gonna wanna creep up on me.I was thinking that a boost controller would simply cure this. It's not that simple apperently. So I am gonna need to port the wastegate to help keep the boost creep down. I may put in a restrictor pill as well. We'll see ho wit turns out. I did one exhaust port so far. The bits I got gummed up with alluminum quickly though and were not good for long. They were not carbide tipped. I got Ryans good digi camera now and I will get some pics tomorrow.
