Ive been told by a few tuners on here and around where I live that your lucky to get 10whp. Im excited to see the results and see if there wrong.

 

You are saying 25 MD AWHP from just you porting a 10.5 housing on a Red, with everything else remaining unchanged: includes same peak boost level(30#), same mods and parts, same tune, same AFR's, same octane, same DYNO, dynoed under same conditions, same ambient temps, etc., same timing up top, and same fuel table?

 

i heard r/ternie was a beast and i know he built one of the best o2/dump housings on the market but i never seen his porting to be honest.

 

^ Sparky, yes everything would be the same at first. I'll post up direct swap than tuning difference. We will prob do it on pump and E85 before and after.

You will def see his port job on my turbo It will be like no other. Let me assure you of that.

Mikey

 

O.K., Mikey! R/T Ernie should have at least invited us all down to Los Cabos, though! Don't you think, Rockster? LOL

 

Yeah, it is definitely a tall order. Just for comparison's sake, a fully ported Buschur Race cylinderhead adds about 15 MD AWHP.

All else remaining equal, it would require a considerable, "Leap of Faith" to prognosticate a 25 MD AWHP increase from merely massaging a 10.5 housing. I don't think it is doable on a 2-Liter. Especially if boost levels, fuel tables, and timing maps and all power mods remain strictly unaltered.

 

makes since sparky and you port as well what kind of gains have you seen you mention everytime you take your turbo off you port some

 

I'm pushing a lot of Air through the Red though... We will just have to see. I can tell you that the port work will be damn good and better than anything ever seen. bling bling.

But for real, I think we will see some good gains. It is a bone stock 10.5 and the cast suck and the stock twin scroll design sucks for flow. imho I also think the higher boost I start to run, above 30psi the more the porting will start to help.

You are a smart guy sparky and have been around for a long time and I respect you and your thoughts. I always seem to learn from you. I'll keep you posted as things progress...

Rockster: It might be doable because Mikey is running 30# of boost. Turbine housing porting is similar to O2 dumps in that you have to be running relatively high boost levels to note a significant power difference. I just think that it will be tough to get 25 MD AWHP, even at 30#. Of course, it is just my opinion. I hope to be proven wrong as i am a big fan of Mikey's car and totally respect R/T Ernie's fab work. Cheers! I am just playing the Devil's Advocate.

 

well i have no ideal i just know mine is ported to do it now and get it over with is my deal. once i install this stuff i dont want to have to change anything unless its oil or pads or injectors later on LOL once on its on so port work is a must.

 

BTW - did Eric ever mention it would be 25 MD whp? Does he even have access to one?

 

Thanks Sparky! I'm sure Eric likes the kind words. At 30psi and direct swap I expect 15hp. Eric thinks 25hp but Eric is usually close... We should start a gay vote

Mikey

 

No we don't. He was just saying 25 in general.... regardless... I'll prob loose spool and power.

Mikey

 

It's kinda like a race ported cylinder head. If the porting guy goes for max flow volume, then you need a radical enough camshaft profile to take advantage of the increased flow potential of the ported head.

Maybe Mikey and Ernie can get 25+ out of the turbine housing port work. But, I just feel that they'll have to turn the boost up to 32-34#. Of course, I am rooting for them!
