Porting means CHECK THE FAQ!

Street Porting is more advanced, it is a form of USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!

Bridge porting is crazy. That's where you go to the ocean, or a big lake, where ships and stuff come in, and you try and build a bridge over the body of water. It's been done a few times on fresh water, but the only known saltwater attempts are the confederation bridge, and maybe the golden gate.

Ok, so give him a break. "Street porting" involves enlarging & polishing the air/fuel intake holes in the side housings for higher flow. “Bridge porting" is the same but more drastic w/ the “bridge” a support between a huge opening for air/fuel into the rotor housing.

Excellent photos, SHM!

You forgot the highway 1 through the Florida keys. It's long bridge after long bridge over salt water.
