4 back to back tuning runs no ice no cool down...not too shabby heatsoaked. When cooled she really picks up some power 20+hp &tq to be exact...havent touched the lower intake yet either...thats up next on the porting list when i re-do the blower
I figured I'd show you guys what I've been working on the last few days. I decided I wasn't ready to bite the big one and take off my blower yet, but I figured I'd get my feet wet and port my TB first! After about 3 days of work [a few hours per night] I am very satisfied with my little project! Here's a few pics!
Final grinding!
Beginning stages of polishing.

Gonna be using this process on my lower intake! :rockon:
Would love to have my blower ported by you Posi. Been wanting to get in on the GB you and TF have but other things have came up which is just my luck! This could be an alternative! How many of the flapper wheels do we need? Did you just get a box for each part #?
sweet got to do mine
how long did it take
I am working on a home port and I need major help! I was cleaning off the rotors with break clean and the coding started to peel off. The rotors looked new when I started. Did I destroy my rotors? What should I use to clean them from debris? Thanks!
I've heard of a few people stripping the coating off the rotors but don't know for a fact what the effects are. You shouldn't need to actually clean them but just blow them off with compressed air. Personally I wouldn't strip them off.I am working on a home port and I need major help! I was cleaning off the rotors with break clean and the coding started to peel off.

Some pics of what I have been working on. By the way I bought my car 11 days ago.

Well, I went ahead and took a shot at my own home port and am not sure if I went to far on the small opening closest to the inlet. Didn't notice how far off I was until it was too late. Maybe its okay but was hoping one of you seasoned vets could clue me in on whether all is good or not. Thanks
Notice how I stretched it to the right by about a 3/16 of an inch or so. Do I need to even the left out as well?

I'd just leave it and not worry. You'd be surprised at how far these things are out let alone ones I've worked on to upgrade. Nobody has complained yet and they were waaaayyy out lol.
Port looks good too. You doing any inlet work?

I'll add this because I've never thought about posting it. I just talked to a guy on the phone earlier;-) and you all have to make sure you're breaking all your burrs inside the case from cutting that outlet. I've done it once and will never do it again but it's avoided my Brain til just now to post it. If you don't break the burrs then the Rotor tip will hit it and create on annoying ticking sound when the blower is back on the car. So get a piece of sandpaper, flapper wheel, or even a piece of ScotchBrite and really round those corners off some.
Other than that everything I've learned is still in this thread.:thumbsup: Just gotta read it to understand all of it lol.

I plan on doing inlet work tomorrow/Saturday. Had take a little break because I just built/moved into a new house and I really got the neighbors talking after 2+ hours of the 1/4" grinder screaming. Oh well, they better not mind a gear head
Are the four small openings to help silence the blower? If so, has anyone tried to close them up to boost the whine?
