air intake manifold Porting

[pickles]

is it worth doing this while its off?

[Prawny]

what exactly are you going to port mate?

You can't port the opening from the TB any wider, it's already the right size for the TB, any larger will result in a sudden step. You can't get inside it to port the mouths of the runners, and if you port the bottom it'll be bigger than the head and cause an obstruction.

Can't see any gains to be had that easily, I'd not bother if I were you

As prawny said there's not much you can do and as he suggests; more often than not, the end result is a design with worse flow than originally.
If you want to port match the intake manifold to the head it would require some machining to the inlet on the head itself which requires the head to be removed while working on because of the all the swarf. In terms of real world gains it is very difficult to notice.

use it on the throttle body, little bits get in the little corners!!

cheers guys, just the exhaust manifold thats worth doing then, itl be coming off shortly as well.

with FI theres not a lot of gain in porting intake, more sense to spend on exhaust mani.
