First time porting what do you think?

To start off this is during my first rebuild of my first rx7 using the pinneapple racing streetport templates here is the porting so far:



And one from behind:


I dont know if i have enough of a bevel on the edges yet, nor how to clean the housing so any advice or constructive criticism?

P.S. its series 4 NA housing so i had to grind out the baffles which is a PITA

Bevel the edges of that exhaust port or it may munch on the seals. Other than that looks good.

You have quite the flake going on with the side of the housing there. Your porting looks great though. Seems like you followed the template as close as possible. EP3 template im assuming?

Intake porting is always tricky. Keep in mind you want to keep the bowls of the port semi-deep, not a lean into the chamber.

Seeing the housing, I'm looking forward to see your iron porting. Your definitely doing very well for your first time.

You actually ground out the port diffusers? Props. I started to on mine, but after a while decided to buy turbo housings instead.
