#247089 N0THD (User) Always getting there- never done. Expert Boarder Posts: 461 For Curt to inspect 2 Years, 4 Months ago   Ported, plugged, lapped and smoothed. The hardest part was making the rubber inside match the metal and be smooth. Waiting for the maXair to get here so I figured "why not do a little more porting". I eased the edges a while back but was leery on taking too much off. But after seeing Curt's finished product I decided to go all the way. Sure does look like it would flow more air.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #247090 N0THD (User) Always getting there- never done. Expert Boarder Posts: 461 Re:For Curt to inspect 2 Years, 4 Months ago   It seemed like forever to get the flanges smooth. It always did backfire some so maybe this will fix some of that.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #247095 ironman (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2382 Re:For Curt to inspect 2 Years, 4 Months ago   looks great. Is it an OEM manifold? Want'a port mine?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #247152 N0THD (User) Always getting there- never done. Expert Boarder Posts: 461 Re:For Curt to inspect 2 Years, 4 Months ago   It's OEM. Man that sure makes a mess. It puts a lot of material on the ground, more than I thought it would. Any money someone charges has to be for clean-up   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/01/04 19:19 By N0THD.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #247156 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:For Curt to inspect 2 Years, 4 Months ago   N0THD very nice job I'm proud of you! Now you know what I go thru on every one of them. I just finished one for Rick today. I hope you didn't smooth the tubes out to much as the rough surface left by the 80 grit drum breaks the gas dropplets up better and makes for a better fuel air mixture. Should I start farming some of my jobs out to you?   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #247161 jamie99roadstar (User) As confused as a hungry baby in a topless bar. Platinum Boarder Posts: 3364 Re:For Curt to inspect 2 Years, 4 Months ago   Since were on the topic of manifold porting, what is the part number for the oversize o-rings? And I hear you on the mess that porting the intake makes. I finished mine up tonight and theres black crud everywhere.   Logged     Feenstras Towing   The administrator has disabled public write access. #247166 greyphart (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4842 Re:For Curt to inspect 2 Years, 4 Months ago   Let's see Curt or NOTHD for a port job.

I had to go buy a new one because everytime she would use it after that I would hear "this damn thing smells like gas!" Now I have a shop dust buster - that still smells like gas!.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #247176 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!
