is bridgeporting a 12a safe for daily driving?

yetterben

Safe how. Can it be done sure. Wold i want to drive a bridgey on the street all the time no.

djessence

would i want to drive a bridgport on the street at all, no.

is it reliable, not usually. Does it have long engine life, not usually

go with a street port if ur daily driving

erv187

safe, like is it reliable? would it be able to handle everyday driving? or is it better to do lower porting job for daily? (sorry mang, noob here)

erv187

oops disregard last post. i was typing before i read yours djessence

BoostedRotors

short answer, no.

djessence

Longer answer, You have NO torque in the low end. People do it for racing applications cuz you get better power above like 4000 rpm kinda deal depending on the port. It destroys streetability, reliability and longevity.

They sound sweet but really unless you race are useless IMHO

how about a large street port, is that okay for daily

Safe yeah..

Daily driver... eh to each there own... I did it for four two years and gas was a bitch...

this is your best route...

saves more gas but going with huge street ports can allow you spend just as much on gas as a bridge port.. still just as safe as bridge...pick your card

djessence

Much better than a bridgeport and you have the potential to get much more power out of your car while retaining more of the reliability and drivability of your car. You will still lose a bit of low end but not too much.

Why do you want a large port?

yeah a bridge port for daily driving is not the best route...better weekend car...large street port or even a mild street port is good...but even then a large street port can waste just as much gas as a bridge...so make your selection very wise...

I want to build an n/a 12a and get the most power as possible while keeping it realiable for everyday driving

I did large street port 12a never had problems filling up the tank was no big deal ran hard ran good and lasted a while...just depends on heavy your foot is...

13b bridge ran that to and from work and school for a couple years, never had no problems again depends on heavy your foot is...no motor last forever running it hard to the ground

djessence

with a large streetport that will open up doors. Start searchin on the forum and you will find alot of info.

Bunch of threads on here about guys getting quite alot of power out of their 12a's

erv187

about how long did you 12a last teddy, i cruise most of the time (80% of the time), but here and there i'll tend to get on it a little if i see a worthy competitor on the street
