Intake Porting

[intimdatr]

So i started my intake work this night with having the next few days off school due to Thanksgiving! And my gawd is this a lot of work!! still have a lot of work due do on the 3 i have done and need to start the runner half. Just sorta posting pics in hopes of some reviews and tips of what else i could do to improve flow.

before and after. (still could clean the after one up some).



These 2 pics didn't come out to well. Have to find my bros way nicer camera and re take some.




ALSO: how does one port the long runners?? or is it even possible/ worth doing? all i was planing on doing was opening up the mouth to gasket match them and be done with it.


And start saving to have shosource my next properly

I only ported my secondaries. I finished mine with 120 grit.

im currently using a flap wheel thats rated at 80 and im gonna try and pick up another tool tomorrow to be able finish with 120+

Hope you're planning to port match the heads also. You do not want a 'step' between the intake and gasket/head.

Thanks for the reminder!

And i plan too. this is a spare intake i had picked up and this is a slow, learning process and the next time i have a long enough break, like Christmas, im going to be matching the tanks, heads, installing a set of BBB's, 80mm mark viii maf, and a LPM tuned by SHOsource.

UPDATE: Pick up some other tools for the Dremel and went to town. still needs some finer paper work and some sanding drums for the corners but its coming along nicely.

Here are some pics:

Bump for update
80% finished with the porting. i still have to match the the snakes to tanks end on the long runners and do a bit from grinding and hand sanding of the Head side of both the prim. and 2nd. Gonna stop by autozone tomorrow and pick up a gasket set. whats any use: Fel Pro or Victor Reniz? ive never heard of Victor Reniz before and was wondering if they're better/worse/same quality as the fel pro stuff?

Also started painting them gonna have to go back and sand a bunch of because the intake was WAY to cold for the paint to setup well. crap just ran like water.

Pics:
As you can see i still need to clean up the primaries a bit. Ive run every store than sells dremel equipemnt out of stock....

Looks good man. I just had SHO Source do mine. (I also did the BBB's and had it Powdercoated) Saved me some time lol. But looks great man. 1 Gold star for you.

Oh F*** i REALLY need to go change pants now. Thanks
Thats AWESOME!

Thanks, i still need to do more work with hand sanding the corners and i need to clean up the snakes to tanks part of the runners. one the runners i got looks like the mold slipped. kinda odd and requires a ton on sanding. but its coming along.
