Guitar this all sounds great, but if I were you I'd be careful about posting about prices and such. Now I'm sure just about everyone on the board loves what you're working on, but the Mods have these "rules" :D . If you're going to talk about pricing and stuff you'd have to become a forum vendor, and I'm not sure you want to give yourself that status yet as I believe there is a cost to be a vendor. If I made a mistake on that one some please let me know. I hope the porting comes out real nice. One last thing. As far as what you've previously done to other motors, how is the sound after porting? Thanks.

thanks for the warning. if the time comes when i start wanting to advertise, i'll look into the vendor status. i certainly don't want to overstep my bounds on this forum!
porting depends a lot on the exhaust system. obviously, it will make it at least a little bit louder since there's more air going into the motor. the loudest porting i've done so far has been a heavily exhaust ported half-bridge. it's in my car :D
How far are you from L.A. or any other major airport, guitar? I can fly roundtrip in the U.S. for only $25 since my sister works for Continental. I could fly out there for a day or two to check these out and do some porting.
great!!!
if you can fly to ontario international, i can pick you up--i'm about an hour from there.
i'm about 2 hours as the bird flys from LAX, but it's typically 2 1/2-3 hrs with traffic. if you have to fly there, try to make the arrival time after 9pm...after traffic dies down.
i'll hook you up with the couch, or help you find a hotel in the area. look forward to having you! you, snoochie and i should have a conference call or something.
OH GOOD GOD! If you come out here rotarygod I will let you stay at my house if your willing to listen to me ask you a million questions(half joking)!! Or we could figure out the hotel thing hehe. I live about 20 minutes from Ont. Airport on the way to Guitarjunkies. I'm gonna call him in like 5 seconds and figure stuff out.
I can understand not wanting to totally punish your car though. Isn't there some sort of standard 5-60 "rolling start" test the magazines do? Basically so you don't trash your clutch and transmission.
Ontario is easy. LAX is crazy busy and hard to fly into. Ontario wouldn't be bad. Now I just need to see what my schedule is like. I could probably come out one day and leave the next. I don't think I could get away for more than 2 days.
Well the plan is on monday I'm going up there to Dyno and do the egt maybe (still don't know exactly how to do that, stick a termometer at the tip of the exhaust?). Therefore we would be all set to get in gear. Then whatever day you head out here we (by we I mean you two, with me watching) can do everything needed.
my buddy came over to pick up his fd and snapped off some pics today. lemme photochop 'em and you can see where the first one is at.
Pretty sweet that you're going to get to work with Rotarygod on this one. He's of the most knowledgeable people I've ever encountered...and he seems like a real cool guy too. I'm hoping that you two rotor heads can make this project into a reality for all the 8 owners. Make sure you guys have a camera the day you screw around with the engine :D Good luck guys, may the force be with you! (Just watched Empire Strikes Back, sorry)

This is a great thread! I've enjoyed reading this more than most suspense novels; it's like being on the verge of a great discovery or something.
I'm just a few miles away from Snoochie; I live in North Fontana Ranch area. I will be VERY interested to see the results of this project. The only performance mod I have on mine is a Racing Beat exhaust. It would be interesting to see what the performance gains would be on an 8 with the stock exhaust, versus the improved flow of Racing Beat's exhaust. RB's exhaust may make a much bigger difference on a ported engine than on a stock engine. I love the way the RB exhaust sounds, and it does seem to pull a tiny bit better at the high end of the rpms. If porting and an RB exhaust unleashes a significant amount of power, then this will be a great way to go.

I'd love to go to SoCal, only problem is...I'm in NY. But if the dates fit, maybe a road trip will be in order. I'd like to meet a lot of these guys too.

Yea, i got that after reading the carfax. Just poorly worded.
Anyway, i'll look into it at the end of the auction (and after I call them and find out where the accident was). If it's still reasonable towards the end, I may buy it for an experimental engine.
