Re: Project Porting! Pics!

Good stuff... proflow is doing some throttle body porting + new butterfly for the 4G as well... it's 250 including shipping I think and has proven gains of at least 5-6whp, one kid posted 17wtq difference in 4th gear on an auto as well.

Looks cool, if you don't mind me asking what does Buschur charge for that? So I can compare to proflow, and also what kind of gains are you looking at with it?

This is just a basic port job on the intake manifold, porting the runners and boring out the inlet to 65mm was $75. The TB conversion/boring was $300, I could have had it done for $300, but I would not have done this if I had not seen Dave Buschur post the solid whp gains from this little project, so I commited myself to give my money to him, instead of the other guys undercutting him and posting zero proven power gain results.

I am expecting a SOLID 15whp from the IM/TB combo, through the entire rev range. This will complete my porting project. With the exhaust mani (5-10whp), SS o2 housing (10-15whp), and this, I am hoping for a full gain of 30-45whp. My car made 295whp on just pump gas, so I'd expect ~330whp. I also bolted on the Evo IX turbo though as well, which is rumored to be upwards of +20whp, so I have set a semi-realistic goal of 335whp on straight pump gas, and have lofty dreams of 375whp with alky. We will see when I re-tune this thing.

Re: Project Porting! Pics!

So you have the know-how on going into your EcuFlash and changing properties and values? Or were you grabbing information gathered elsewhere? That's pretty frickin' awesome that you are able to do that stuff in the ECU on them things.

Looks like you're going to have yourself a sweet ass sleeper in the near future with some good power!
