99-02 ported intakes

[caspernicus]

Here are pics right after I ported them.

Upper


Lower


$180 shipped.

I'll post pictures of what the ports look like now later on tonight. They
have the typical "stained" look.

The upper is painted black, and the lower is silver.


*EDIT* Throttle body, brake booster line, egr block off, and evap not included

Re: 99-02 ported intakes

you dont have any before pictures do you? and what did you notice for a gain or anything from porting them?

[caspernicus]

Re: 99-02 ported intakes

I have a spare set I can take a pic of if you want. They were put on
at the same time as a set of ported heads, so it's hard to say.

Re: 99-02 ported intakes

yea id like to have a comparison and you dident have any problems with leaks anywere did you? and approximently how much did you remove

[caspernicus]

Re: 99-02 ported intakes

Alright, I'll get some pics up in a bit. No leaks at all. I removed
enough material to get rid of the casting surface/lines.

Re: 99-02 ported intakes

I took these off of the car earlier today, so theres still a
little gasket/coolant drips on them.

Re: 99-02 ported intakes

i didn;t think it was a good move to smooth out the bottom like that.. top is fine but not lower.....

Re: 99-02 ported intakes

The bottom part of the lower intake is not smooth, which is right
where the injectors are.

Re: 99-02 ported intakes

Did you port them yourself?

Re: 99-02 ported intakes

Yeah.

Here are pics right after I ported them.

Re: 99-02 ported intakes

Actually, the only thing that needs to be rough is the intake side of the head. The LIM can be as smooth as you want. I guess it depends though because having it rough before the injectors might help the mixing a little bit.. But it probably doesn't matter.
