gaging interest....ported and polished intake manifolds **UPDATE**

[navyblue2000]

i'm finishing mine up, gonna do some track testing with them. who would be interested in a port and polish service, provided substantial gains would be made? of course there are greater gaines for not so stock vs more of stock. i'm cheap too.

what dremel bits did you use to port the intake. my motor is coming apart this weekend and i'm thinking on whether or not to port and polish mine

[cboney2000]

I would have to see a finished set first for my own personal satisfaction, but if they were done well, and you'd do the upper and lower (without changing them were the meet the heads, I'd be interested. Just out of curiosity, how do you manage to get the dremel in and do a good job on the inside of the upper manifold or are you just doing the "runners".

[navyblue2000]

basically doing the runners on the inside, smoothing/polishing, getting all the stock casting off, mirror polish, except in the lower half of the lower manifold, a satin finish where it meets the head.
needs some turbulence for atomization.
i can email you pics of the finished manifolds if you would like.
update: two sets hopefully in the next few weeks...one on mine, one on nachius'

i need to get a few pics of the uppers, but that's how the uppers look as well.

[ellik]

did you show any gains?
cost?
amount of time you'll have the manifolds?

[navyblue2000]

haven't tested, i'd say it's around 8 at the wheels(depending on mods), i just gotta get em on.

115 bucks? plus ship on your dime.

i'd have them for 3 to 4 days before i got them back out.

I would be interested, but would they work with non stock internals, i am going to assume that they would.

good to know [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
I'd rather know the process on how to do it, since my car's the daily driver I cant wait weeks to get manifolds back.

[malice10985]

I'd let you do mine if you could get em done & back to me fast. Its my daily driver.(and only car)

I will hit you up closer to xmas. Thats the only time I could do it.

[98v6]

i will be interested as soon as i find a wrecked car like mine to swipe an intake off of [img]smile.gif[/img] then i will send you that and still drive my car
