Ok I am dropping a 6 port s5 engine in my fb. I was told to block off the 5th and 6th ports. They guy at racing beat said if I do I will loose horse power. How should I run this set up? Will I be able to run the 5th and 6th ports in my fb? HEELLPPP I need to know A.S.A.P!!!

Oh and this is my 1000th post!!!

 

run the ports open with the sleeves removed.. the low end wont be as good, but the top end will be great! what carb did you get?

 

 

I got a dellorto 48 DHLA sidedraft. What exactly are the sleeves?

 

1000 posts and you dont know what the 6 port sleeves are?WTF?!! you better find a mechanic to help you.. carb is a good size, should run good

 

lol I know my friend isnt home at the time so I cant ask him. I am fairly new to 6ports so that is why I dont know. I was looking for an aftermarket manifold, but couldn't find any. Just so I wouldn't have to deal with this stuff. Now are the sleeves actually inside the screw hole, the black thing. It looks like a sleeve to me.

 

Whoever told you to block off the 5th and 6th ports doesn't know what they are talking about. Your top end horsepower would be severely hurt by blocking them.

The sleeves are special inserts that open and close the 5th and 6th ports. On a stock manifold, they have a rod that protrudes outside the intake manifold and use a special diapham to turn the rod, which turns the sleeve, which opens or closes the port. Removal of these sleeves will leave the ports open all the time.

 

Ok so I am playing with the parts. I see the stick that goes from the manifold to the canister looking deal. Which part exactly is the sleeve. GOD I feel like a newb all over again. I don't see what the sleeve is exactly. Can anybody post pics of the sleeves themselves because this retard (me) isn't seeing it.

 

the sleeve is the insert that the upper (i beleive) ports on the front and rear irons. if you look at those port holes there will be going from the upper left to the lower right on the front and upper right to the lower left on the rear, once again i beleive, but that should give a general heads up. they are just bigger than a quarter. you ll see it. if you need any help just give a call 707 315 4526

 

so on the stick that goes through the manifold they should have like a butterfly looking deal on it? Like a throttle body would?

 

I run a 6 port s4 with now "sleeves". Plenty of power, but low end does suffer only slightly. As I've been told, 6 ports are for pussies.

 

lol. pussyports

 

Blocking off the 6 ports, is effectively de-tuning the 13B to 12A power levels. On both the front and rear iron, one of the two ports will have a rod across the center of the port opening. Get a pair of pliers and pull on that rod, while rotating it back and forth. If it turns, but won't come out, the sleeves are carboned up, soak them carb cleaner and keep working them. They'll come out.

 

DAMN do some damn research before you ask stupid **** like this. Blocking off your intake ports is some short bus ****.

 

Dude you need anger managment classes!

 

You should run an air-pump operated 5/6 port setup. Do a search in the archives but it basically boils down to using an air valve from an aquarium to direct the needed amount of air to actuate the 5/6 port sleeves, that way you don't have to sacrifice the low end.

 

that air Pump activation..It was Written up By Coldfire(forum member's name)..If you can't find it..you may be able to get some info by Pm'ing him Maybe(that's if you can't seem to find it..I'm sure the Pics are gone by now..tried awhile back and nadda..)..He's a good guy...

 

 

Air pump activation can be found in the second gen archives pretty easy to find.You can the S5 electronic acuators with a VSAFC heard that set up works nice
