Porting is the next step in the hunt for power id say. So id say this is valuable data. Im pretty interested in your work and hope it all goes well and according to plan.

Noise is good.

My Renesis is ported, but the stock GReddy turbo can't even come close to feeding it.

If anyone has a 3071 or gt35r they want to get rid of, I am soooo there!

Hey GuitarJunkie, would you be game to help me fit a bitter turbo to my car?

I'm using an XEDE vs Interceptor. The XEDE takes full control of fuel & spark, has a built in boost controller, and the software rocks so it's pretty sweet.

Hmmm I wonder whos site that is?

[jokie] But whomever he is, he seems kinda lazy. Definitely doesn't seem like the site of someone who will post mind blowing mouth watering porting goodness to a forum or anything. [/jokie]

P.S. Would you guys be willing to give Snoochie a call and at least find out who the car is doing? To bad he hasn't spent the last $100 or so to get the most out of this mod after paying close to $1000 so far.

thanks for the help for those that offered direction. as for keef, you should consider donating sum of your time to a proctology class as you would make a good study specimen.

my best car alarm activator is my Ducati.
11.5:1 Compression. Straight through 50mm (2.5 inch) dual exhaust. dual throttle bodies that I think are 66mm each. (I woill have to check on the throttle body size if people really want to know exactly)

it shakes the house if I start it in the garage.

stupid question time.

I used to build formula 2 Two stoke race bikes.

How similar is porting and port timing to a high strung two stroke?

in a nutshell, it'll be $550 to mod your turbo to the same specs as mine.

clipped turbine, 57-trim t4 compressor wheel, stock housing punched out, rebuilt and balanced. so it'll look identical to the standard greedy turbo on the outside, but it'll pack a lot more punch up top.

next step up from that is the mazsport turbo, unless you wanna go apeshit and weld a t3 flange on your greedy manifold and bash away at your firewall so we can fit a bigger turbine housing in there.

if you wanna go that route, a gt35r "hifi"ish kinda turbo might work. just like the 60-1's in the t04b compressor housings, i bet we could do the same thing with a 35r. if you're on a budget and don't want the gt stuff, i'm sure we can find a t3 housing that'll take a p-trim turbine, then we could do a t3/t4, 60-1 hifi with it. that thing would put out.

see how much the mazsport motor mounts are so we have some room to work with and we can go as crazy as you want with it.

Thanks, GJ. I've absolutely got to stay under $1,000, so maybe the 'bolt on' option is best. Do you do dyno-tuning too? If so, I can get some dyno time if you're able to fly up to the Bay area.

guitarjunkie-

did the HP gains from the second porting attempt come from making the ports bigger, or just leaning out the mix with the CZ?

the first one i dyno'd after the porting was actually running richer than stock...somewhere around ~11.8, iirc.

no idea. i haven't talked to him for a while.

last time i saw the car in person was at the body shop sometime last year. he got rear-ended, and the body shop left his lights on or something, so i went down there and unflooded it. that's actually the last time i talked to him, i think.
