Sup Southeast! Sup Orlando! As a lot of you Orlando guys know, I'm in Iraq now and the problem I've just run into is since I can't decide on what turbo to go with I have the itch to do something else to the car until I decide on what turbo to go with. I've come to the conclusion to port my intake mani and T/B. Who do you (Orlando) suggest I take it to to have that done? Not worried about how long it will take as I can leave the car. Thats no problem. I just want to know who's going to do good work and at a fair price. How long does that procedure normally take?

thanks for the suggestions.

 

Really? Theres got to be somebody who can shed a little light on the subject. Scott, do you know of a place? CFT? BVP? Anyone?

 

Well , not many in town are set-up to do good porting - we used to have all the tools but now we just have out of state porting shops do that work for us . Many are running 600hp+ on 100% stock manifolds so you may want to look at turbo options first and worry about porting later . Just my 2 cents

 

Thanks Xtreme. My goal is to get about 450-500 reliable hp out of it. once I get there I'll be happy. I hear you have a pretty good setup, what do you suggest (looking at what I already have and where Im at) my next steps should be to get there if porting isn't a must?

 

The porting will not get you much at your power goals but , you can get a green and call it a day ! A larger turbo will get you the power goal you seek and at a good boost level without too much stress .

 

i was looking at the red or the BBK for my next turbo. I hear a lot of good about the Red but like anything else I'm sure there is some bad. With the power that turbo has and can provide, I just want to be sure the engine will hold up. The BBK seems to be a bit milder of a turbo for the internals. Has anyone had problems with the Red yet? Blown engines etc?

 

Either will work and also , even with a stock turbo I've seen people blown their motors . Blowing a motor is a matter of tuning for the most part and NOT the size of the turbo . If you want to make sure your motor holds up just follow these notes:


1 : be sure you have a safe tune ( fuel and timing )

2: Be sure you boost according to your fuel ( X - amount of boost for pump gas and X amount for race/meth )

3 : If you see something odd you get the car checked-out right away .

4: Use good oil and the right weight according to time of year ( temp ) .


If you keep those things in mind you should be ok for a long time !

 

Well then I should be sitting pretty good then cause I do all those things already. Thanks for the input. Hope to meet you when I get back home. I told Andy I'm definately making a trip down for the weekend.

 

I look forward to meeting you , Andy is a good guy - great guy to have as a friend

 

Not in your neck of the woods, but can be ordered online.....MIL.SPEC 65mm Throttle body and a Wilson v2 Manifold is a great combo.

 

+1 just, make sure you have the right parts and you will be ok

 

I need to just get down to Orlando more often. 3.5 hour drive really isn't anything.

 

waste of money for his power levels.

we have seen many evos make 600whp with stock mani and stock TB
