Not to take anything away from KD Rotary because I happen to respect Dave and his wife even dough I have never meet them. But the ports on your engine Ihor are an insult to you. They told you that the ports were huge. Does port have stock intake opening and they slightly moved the port closing. FD3boost just ported his first engine and he did a better job in creating a port that will flow better then your ports and FD3boost is a ROOKIE and KDR has been around for a while. I'm very disappointed in does ports.. Ihor you want 500hp @20 psi of boost? all you need is a better port job.
I'm thinking about having my S4 n/a FC ported, but not sure what type of port to get.. any suggestions?? I want it to be one bad n/a..

im no expert, but i think them exhaust ports are a tad small. maybe its just the pic. as far as the intake ports, they look like a conservative port job, they dont look like they flow as good as they should. maybe a little tapering(i think thats the word) on the top would do them a favor. and thast for the primaries and secondaries. the primaries look stock to the untrained eye(me).

as far as a bridge or street port it all depends, IMO, on how, where and when you will be driving the car. you might not want to be stock in traffic with a bridge port or do a lot of stop and go traffic, etc.

I agree Ito, I thought they'd be bigger than that. This is why I am going to do with motor myself, with Steve's supervision. I wasn't happy with the way the car was running and the power it was putting out. Hopefully I'll get it right this time and stop wasting money on motors.

Bridgeporting is a total pain if you have to use the car as a daily driver. You can still get the power levels that you want with a nice streetport.

I'm hearing that it is hard to start and floods easily...
