Force- fed help out for the build

my so called buschur t/b was not even buschur nor was it ported fully. It had some crappy light job done to it very disappointing work. I will not name the seller right now. Before I knew it was your average t/b I had it stripped and powder coated as most of you know. Thankifully Force-Fed Performance stepped in and ported my T/b for me so ill get the gains of a 65mm and i would not have redo this all over again. below is there work. Thanks for stepping up guys and not even knowing me

WHEN I RECEIVED TB


First Round of porting




FINISHED PRODUCT

A ported 65mm will have a different butterfly valve correct?

Hope you are happy with it Rockman

We were just doing a clean up job for him as I can tell that You are a perfectionist. Sorry if you had a hard time getting ahold of me. We arent like some of these bigger places with people just on stand by to answer the phone. My cell normally stays in my pocket but kind of hard to answer a blackberry with grease on hands putting a tranny in, tearing a motor out or strapping a car on the dyno. Obviously easiest way to get ahold of us is to PM us or leave a voice mail and wait for a call-back. This TB he sent was in good shape and obviously had been modified and had the seals changed before. The port job however was pretty iffy so after receiving it we cleaned it properly and inspected it for perfect operation and finally cleaned up the port job for him.

Hope you enjoy and everything goes great with your build

Justin

yea i took a chance on you guys i heard some stuff and i was like what the hell worse that could happen is i have to get another T/B but yea my only issue was getting in contact but yet when i pmed you. You guys were right on that for sure calling needs improvement but does not matter the job got done and im proud that you hornored your word to protect my custom powder coating job. last part i need is a fluidampr and my 2.3 will be ready to rock and roll detroit. I still have some small little stuff to get before ill be ready.

br double pumper
hks timing and serpintine belts
kelford 272
fluidampr

Then some parts are off to carlos for cermeric coating hotside mona lisa ebay ported o2 housing in the mean time i think the build is starting this month actually i was forced to take 2 weeks off form work(to much PDO) so me and my friend are going to drop it off at JMS Racing so they can pull my motor and go ahead and start to peace this monster together next month week 3. So will be plenty of pics and my build thread is coming soooooooon
