How can i tell if my 13b is Street Ported?
I just bought a 74 rebuilt 13b for 700.00 bucks. The seller told me that it was a massive street port. I am not the smartest guy, so when i looked at the motor it had the exhaust sleeves taking out so to me it looked bigger in there. Compaired to my 12a these holes were way bigger. I sent pics to my friend and he told me that it is not ported because you can still see the mold marks from the factory. I tried 4 times to post pics but it kept saying load error or security issue. I am using a Sony Cyber Shot and can post on Facebook but not here. If you guys have the time can you post pics of your street port. PLEASE. If my motor is not ported than i got a rebuilt 13b for 700.00 but i was told it was ported thats why i sold my stuff to get it.

There was a vid posted of the car running and yes it does have a lope to it at idle. I dont want to start s@!t with the person i bought it from, so i wont say who because he is a cool dude and he helps me out alot, its just that i was told that it was not ported. It dose not lope like a big cam in a piston motor but it dose lope.

A smooth idle or lack thereof won't tell you if the motor is ported or not. You need to check whether the intake ports look/feel smooth, or if they're still rough from the casting process. An educated eye could also tell from the size and shape of the exhaust ports, but without pics we can't help you there.

i think that if it is ported who ever did it didn't continue all the way thru the intake runners. that one exhaust port i posted looks a slip with the tool from the header side. but it's odd that they would be cutting from that side tho. and the intake end of the runners usually ground to match the gasket.
btw do u not see the pic of the exhaust in the other post?

No, nothing in writing. He never lied to me before, he always helped me out and worked with me on parts and such.But i have a bigger engine for my 7 so it will be a little faster.LOL! I still need alot more things to finish the swap. I guess time will tell. That is all the pics i have so i guess the mods can close this thread if no one else has any ideas. Thanks for all the help guys, i will post updates when i figure how to shrink these pics i am trying to post. Damm i am dumb. Oh he told me a good friend ported his housings a while ago for him. This motor was in his old RX3 or RX4.

From the photos, I can not determine if it was ported or not, but I can tell you by the looks of it , that it wasn't ported correctly if it was ported at all. You can still see casting marks on the intake and a true port would enlarge the entire runner and match the LIM.
If the motor has strong compression - you got a good deal; regardless.

At serious autocross events, sometimes they'll have these little flexible inspection deals, where they can look into a person's motor to see if they have a ported motor and trying to pass it off as stock.
Maybe you can find someone with one of those... Sorry I don't know the name of the instrument, ha ha
