Hi Guys
I have been playing with some old plates, a dremel, and the RB porting templates. It's cool to have the templates for a rookie like me, but what about the side of the plates, where the intake manifold goes? Here is a pic just in case nobody understand which part I am asking https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png Thanks goes to Cosmo Donk for the pic! http://www.rx7turbo.com/projectcosmo...ortcompare.jpg So how much do you port this area on a 91 13BT? I already messed the center plate, since RB told me to port them exactly as the template, which turn out to hit the water jacket https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif So, any tips? |
What I do is clean up the rough casting portion of the plates by using 60grit 1/2" by 1/2" sanding bands on the Dremel. I spend a good 15 minutes on each port tunnel and remove all of the roughness. This is 1/3 of the aspect of intake porting. The 2nd portion is re-shaping the port outlet on the nitrided surface side of the iron. The 3rd portion, and most important in my humble opinion, is the _transitioning_ phase of the charge moving from the tunnel to the outlet. I spent alot of time and focus on this.
Be sure to remove the injector diffusers before you go ram-rodding your Dremel into the primary port tunnels. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png B |
