Ported my own blower: Pics inside!

[S/CCobra03]

I've had some experience with porting cylinder heads and such so I had all of the tools to port my blower. I pulled the thing off last week and started porting it. I'll try to put up some pics if it will let me. Tell me what you think.
Intake side: The lighting wasn't very good so it looks a little rough. The blower is actually very smooth on the intake side

Rotor side:

Under Side:

Sorry if they turn out BIG but one of the mods can resize them if they like.

It's good to do some mods yourself. This is one I would never attempt and trust only to a company with proven results.

A guy named BRAD did his a few months ago, I might have missed the results but do not remember them being posted.

I had a good friend dyno 30 hp less than my apten/steigmeier port with identical mods. he had some local guy do it, turned out good cause he dumped it and went KB.

Yeah I was told "don't do it, you will mess something up" so I pulled it off and did it. The first picture didn't turn out too good. The intake side is MUCH smoother than the picture looks. The light is making it look rough. The car needs a tune now but it seems to run very strong. I'm getting a MAFxtender and tune in a few days.

I guess all your out of is time if it does not make more pwr. If you truly did want pwr I would spend $500 and call it a day. Then again I wanted real results. Cool though.

Nice job it looks great.

So did I that's why I did my homework. I looked at a few Steg. and Apten ported blowers (in person) and looked at where they removed material and where they left it. I'm very happy with the results. I have a friend that has a Steg. ported blower and I'm going to run him and see how mine does.

I say...very nice!!

Looking for somemore input.

waiting for some dyno numbers and/or track numbers

I'll be going to the track in about two weeks. I'll also be doing a dyno session in a few weeks. So we shale see how much I picked up or lost.

Yep, it ant brain surgery.

It's pretty close. You guys would be suprised what is involved in a real port job from Steig.

What did you use to polish the inlet?

I'd like to go to the track tonight but I still need that MAFxtender. I'm afraid that I might max out the MAF if I don't install that first. We will have to do a little friendly highway pull one night!

For the results to be meaningful your mods would have to be identical, wouldn't you say? Beating your friend won't necessarily prove your porting equals or is close to the results obtained with a Steigemeier port. It would have also been good if you had done a "pre-port" dyno run and then do another run ASAP after the ported blower is re-installed. JMO.

Please fill us in!!!

Our cars are as close to identical as you can get. We just have different x-pipes (both offroad) and different CAI. Other than that, the power mods are identical. I'll be looking at my mph in the 1/4 to tell how much power it is making.
