it all depends on how well your fp red fits together. i called fp today with the same question and they said it isnt ever a bad idea, but should be done to older ones definitely, but maybe not to brand new ones. but for the 95 dollars they charge, id go for it. helps efficiency, and when realy pushing the turbo, it will be worth it.

dont know any numbers though

 

I think the port is happening right now, with the finished product ready for dyno in a week or so. Assuming everything goes to plan.

 

i didnt get a chance to run my black unported, ill be finishing up my porting tonight but im not doing any thing drastic

 

Ahem...jarheads=marines

Marines prefer other terms, like Marine(s), Leatherneck, etc. Jarhead borders on being derogatory

 

thats nice to know so next week payweek lol we can see if it really worth it to pay for porting option i think it will be. im just thinking mikey setup is maxed enough and thats alot of the old TQ he is laying down more and he will need that 2.4 very soon lol.

 

Wow, I completely blew that. I meant Grunts since he is at Ft Lewis this week.

I'm not sure I understand this "maxed enough" phrase you are referring to. Okay, well I do, but I don't know if Mikey does.

 

well when you start hearing that strange sound you will understand maxed enough its easy for you yahu just turn the boost way up and you to can experience this

 

Mike still hasn't made more than me! I got him by 3 horsepower lol

 

Funny cause we had a discussion in class about this today. Of course me being in the Navy and out numbered by Air Force, Marines, and Army they picked on me I'm the only Navy guy in the Joint Intel Collections course... I just started call everyone my shipmate


I understand the laws of Newton... Boost pushes down and rods push out motor.

Eric, if you are in the thread can you update on the port work. I have not talked to you in a hot min since I have been so damn busy

Mikey

 

You got me by 3hp on 6+psi more than me! doesn't count.

Mikey

 

^^ lol

 

More horsepower is more horsepower.

I even did it without methanol and without cams on a 3.5" intercooler core... on an unported red w/ an o2 recirc!

Your turbine housing will be ready for the dyno session on the 13th. I'm down to swap the housings at the dyno day and get a back to back result.

 

so whats the results whats up some of us dont live in the area and cant just drive down the street and find out

 

^ That would be dope Eric! Thanks bud! Hope we don't have any bolts snap...

Mikey

 

Mikey, any more power and that stock bottom end is gonna let go!
