UPDATE:
Motor should be shipping in pieces in the next week or so. As soon as my cad guy is done mapping out the motor, we'll put it together, break it in, tune, and dyno.

I hopefully will have a dyno map before the Deals Gap trip. I'll keep everyone posted.

Yes Brian, thanks for the pics

Curious to see how that primary port works. I took a lot out of the bottom/opening edge corners. Biggest I've seen so far.

nope it's a rebuild... very well cleaned though.
Brian does good work.

I'll be posting audio, and dyno stuff once it's in and broken in. I know a lot of people want to know what it's going to do.

BDC

They're blasted clean. All of the motor work I do I blast 'em to look like that.

It'll be like this but not quite as lopey:

What kind of power do you expect?
Aren't the port timings of a Bridgeport wrong for a turbo or blower?

reddozen

iTrader: (1)

No clue what to expect really... I'm one of 3 people that I know of that's even doing this publicly that I know of, so it's hard to say if it will increase, decrease, or do nothing to the power.

As for the turbo question... I duno... that's more of a question for Brian.

Think of it as a reply whose response mirrors the positive or negative vibe of the responder

hopefully it will be broken in and then flogged NA on an engine Dyno before installation

bowser

looks good, interested to see how it goes

BDC

Is that kinda like when Keanu Reeves says, "whoa!", in all of his movies?

B

Mawnee

OMFG! I want that!

BDC

Everybody says that when they first hear it.

Anything that can my my Rx8 sound more agressive....like my last car:

Any now I've made myself a sad panda going through old vids of my Vette

Block was delivered today.

I'm getting base power dyno pulls this Wednesday.
Engine will be put together after Deals Gap, and we'll run stock computer pulls with the bridge port after it's broken in.
Lastly, I'll get an access port, tune it, and run one last set of pulls.

That should give a good indication of what this amount of porting does for the engine.

So results are coming soon for those that are waiting.

This is good news. I believe that there still isn't hard data on how a bridgeport set-up works for a 13b msp, this is definitely going to be interesting.
What kind of work was done to the exhaust ports? Excessive work on the intake without at least taking the exhaust into consideration is like having a large mouth and a tight anus, lot's of pain in exhausting what you eat
Given the location of the water jackets around the exhaust ports i'd say that any kind of excessive intake porting may be rendered useless but i guess that we'll see how it goes!
I'm also curious to see how the power curve changes and where the engine is finally choked.

Lot's of interesting thing to read in your future dyno plots!

So we have seen street ports, now bridge ports, is a P-port even possible on the 13b-msp?

I hope so - good or bad .

The op dissappeared in a pile of promises as if often the case with stuff like this .
