If you are N/A that is not possible. Perhaps 240 gms./sec?
Due to an unfortunate incident I now have a non-ported Renesis in my car and I miss the midrange torque provided by my previous engine's porting. I guess MM and I now have an opportunity to evaluate the airflow of factory ports versus modified ports when I fix the old engine and put it back into service.

Also sorry to hear about the engine

Boostin'
I don't think porting would gain more than a couple ponies really, you can't really port these motors that much. If you actually gained power its probably from having tighter side seals clearances than the factory. Chassis dynos rarely tell the truth.

Shady: your MAF was reading in the 240 range.

Their website doesn't do them justice...
Call or mail them instead as you won't find anything better in GA (and the whole US imho) when it comes to remanufactured\rebuilt engines for NA applications.

I would look up Rotary Resurrection as well, he does good work and helped me out with this rebuild.
I couldn't have finished this build without him!
Also his website has tons of information http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/

just read all 24 pages... took notes and such...
congrats man, i know re-building your first engine is a nightmare, (built 7 4g63's my self) and now with the 13b , i cant wait to get my hands in one, but i think RR will be the go to guy for any help. Good bunch of peeps here, besides the BS that was about the Oil rings lol... (I know a few dealers that will part ways with a group of parts aka, only needed 2 sets rings instead of the 4)
good build.

WHAT?!
define "good"
talk to Paul on the phone or send him a private message on this forum, his user name is "mazmart"
I'm sure he can work something out.
Will you find cheaper rebuilds out there? YES, you always will but most of those are with questionable used parts...
