DIY Head Porting

I've been looking here for some time for a write up. I am trying to save $900+. Many spoke about a write up on MSF but I'm done with that site. If there isn't a write up, a recommendations for a better priced location with quality for the right gains needed...increase in flow etc

 

I did mine by hand myself. Just a gasket match, no real bowl work. Not really a way to put up a guide for what I did though.

Put on gasket, sharpie out inside of gasket, grid away sharpie and smooth it out into the chamber.

Cant find any good pics of the intake side but I gasket matched that and knife edged it. It flows really well. Could it flow better with bowl work and all that? Yeah for sure. But it looks like I just broke about 500 hp on 93 at 25 psi, so the system is moving air for sure. Guess it depends on how far you want to go with it.

 

@Maisonvi;

How much for your porting service?

 

Once I get my garage cleaned out and make a new bench I may get back into porting stuff. I made said thread on MSF, never brought it here because it exceeded the attachment limit for a post here.

Also I'm lazy when it comes to making long posts

 

I think that was post I googled but I'm not supporting MSF anymore. I remember reading up what you did. I wanted to read up on it again or note taking reasons because this would be an interesting experience especially with bowl work.

Adapted Performance have a single runner intake gasket.

I believe it would work out good for the CS https://corksport.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Mazdaspeed-Intake-Manifold-Runner-Outlet.jpg or JMF manifold http://www.therpmstore.com/resize/S...6/4__45551_zoom.jpg?bw=550&w=550&bh=550&h=550

This will be an interesting endeavor.

 

Im running the Adapted single runner manifold gasket. I can vouch, its good stuff, and Steve is good people.

 

I know he is. I have purchased a few of his projects and I have a few more to get including that gasket. I was referring more to the outlining of that gasket to match up with the head and IM. I have RC PnP IM but it's not a single running. I know it it said to be limited because of the design and more even if you convert it to single runners (I can be wrong). I just want to make the right decision of porting the heads. I know it's a patience game with this.... do you have any recommended measuring tools I use to make sure everything is being ported properly and flow increased at a good balance or is that for the machine shop to test etc?

 

Nothing special. Just eyeballed it and got rid of thing that looked like it would restrict flow

I guess I will test it out when I return to the states in a week on a spare head i was saving for a different built. Thanks for the motivation.

 

You're intake side looks amazing. How did you ensure it was equal? I really want to attempt this but do not wanna fuck this up.

 

Again, I just eyeballed it all and took my time.
