r-tech question? porting exhaust manifold pre remap
« on: 12 February 2012, 14:20 »

The collector needs cutting down by around 45% and the runner on number 3 needs to be enlarged.  You just want to make it flow better and get rid of all the sharp edges ect...

Its a case of good judgement...........  so I took sh@t loads of mine and it held up fine for 300bhp and closer to 400bhp with NOS and no nasty cracks..
