Most shops reconmend bridge porting for racing applications only but I always see videos on youtube of people with their bridge ported cars in the drive way and they have license plates and everything. So yea...?

 

plenty of threads on this https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ht=half+bridge lots of info in this thread but some say 30k miles but if the cuts are done correctly shouldn't be any reliability issues. i would do a half bridge 1st thats what i plan to do over the winter then i do my rebuild. u still get the brap brap

 

If you have any kind of emissions testing, you don't stand a chance of passing.

 

How much do you care about passing emissions or fuel economy?

 

All i can say is call or pm BDC about this...and yes it has been covered alot

 

I heard people who did half bridges wish they did a full bridge to begin with.

 

Half bridge turbo daily driver here and i have nothing bad 2 say about it,well gas mileage is not the best but other than that i love it,so far i had a bunch of bridged motors and they all did die on me cause of bad tuning or overboosting,Cuts done right,a good tune and a good driver and the motor will run forever.

 

interesting, idk if anyone who has posted a reply is from the pacific northwest but pineapple racing in portland, OR seems to be quite prestigeous and it seems like a very good shop, I would assume they could do a long lasting bridge or half. I don't mind the gas mileage and my car is 1991 na coupe, so shortly it will not require emissions and the county next to me, right down the road is the line, kitsap here in WA doesn't require emissions!!! i just have to move there first

 

kinda the same deal in ny if the car is older than 96 i.e. 95 and down it doesn't have to pass emissions. 88 ftw

 

Proper bridges that aren't cut too thin won't effect reliability.

A properly tuned EFI system will make the car easily drivable and eliminate much of the bridgeport harshness (bucking, etc.). Fuel economy will always be in the toilet when driven around town. 8-10 MPG. On the highway it's not too bad.

Really though, a bridgeport should only be considered when shooting for 400+ HP. A bridge will allow you to run much larger turbos while keeping lag under control.

 

Exactly right except I wouldn't say the MPG around town is quite that bad especially if using a closed O2 loop control of some sort.

That is only upstate not the city or long island. Car has to be 25 years old to just have a safty inspection. My 91 has 5 years to go, my 86 will be getting a safty only inspection next year.

 

o that blows i got a 94 lincoln that was from the city thing has 378k miles on it. runs great though

 

full bridgeport + single blade throttlebody (Rotary works FD TB or something else like Q45). worst combo ever for part throttle driving. what a frickin pain in the ***.
