Of course you can do that with a stock computer, all it is is a combined aux/secondary port My 6port is now essentially a 4 haha
Only revved to 4k so far, well 4100 once
850 miles so far on break-in, yes I've been in it a while, but my commute to school isn't very far (about 40-50 miles a day total there/back), I don't have a job to drive to right now, and I'm very busy with school trying to get into the Business program so I don't have a lot of free time to just put miles on my car.
Still no going over 4k rpms for me, gotta get to 1500 miles before I can do that =|
I have an s4.
Now that I look at integras port and a different picture/angle I have of my secondary plates, it looks like I went just as far as he did up and down with the ports, only difference is mine is combined and his still has the divider. Hmmm, interesting. Because when looking at the ports before reassembly there was a little more to be had on the aux side of the ports. His primary ports are definitely larger than mine from the pictures I've seen of them.

If you're going to do it take great caution. Because it takes so long to grind it out, the the diffuser can turn red hot while the carbide bit is grinding against it for prolonged periods. Every time I saw this happening I took it off for a few seconds to let it cool down, but one time I didn't and a chunk came off and hit me in the arm, burned a bit
Also, you can get sparks sometimes while doing it, definitely where protective goggles while doing any porting. You don't wanna get metal shavings in your eyes, trust me

how much fuel can we expect to not have when he port? Kinda curious about doing it. Only i would be retarded and try to do it myself...

BDC did a writeup on nopistons about taking out exhaust diffusers. i think he got to wear he could get one out in 30 seconds to a minute. i know i'm telling you late, but you may want to find that writeup. may come in handy when you re-tear the engine down.

He might've used a torch to do it. This works very very well and goes very very fast, but it leaves the inside kind of messy where the diffuser was cut with a slight bump. Of course that would then be ground down to make the sleeve completely smooth. I didn't however have a torch and wanted it to be cleaner/smoother inside so I opted to grind it out.
Don't have to worry about getting any diffusers out anymore, next time I port the exhaust the whole sleeve will come out and I'll be race porting it

Oh, you're talking about removing the sleeve, not the diffuser. The diffuser is part of the sleeve, and yes I've read that. Lots of people opt to simply remove the N/A sleeve with the diffuser in it and put in a TII one without the diffuser. Much different

damnit, man! how dare you contradict me!
haha, yea, cause he has good n/a housings and bad T2 housings. no grinding, just replacing. i dont know what all it consists of, just trying to make my useless self useful.

You need all sorts of parts, including new custom headers to accomedate the 5th and 6th ports and still mount a turbo, new UIM assembly, oil lines, coolant lines, and then you have the exhaust, which would be a blast.
After that, you have to remember to tweak fuel delivery and slap on all the electronics needed to tame the beast. It does sound like one hell of a winter project though.....

the aux port sleaves open to a vaccum on a 6-port engine
So, in essence, you are saying that the atmospheric pressure is pushing the charge in, not negative pressure (vaccum) pulling it in. This statement is absolutely true. What I am saying, though, is that the atmospheric pressure is going to be directed into the chamber by the lower pressure existing at that point in time, therefore optimizing the volume of the sleave (stock) as much as possible. The "dead zone" discussed earlier will throw a wrench in the plans for that air, though, being that it makes it much more turbulant before exiting the port (good thing in small ammounts to keep F/A mixed together, bad in large ammounts being that it would block said F/A mix from ever making it to the chamber).
Generally, whereever airflow is concerned, smoother is better. So even if you are reducing port size slightly, the smoother transition results in more air into the engine.
I don't know, I am just looking at it from the point of view that the aux ports are a much later closing time then the stock TII ports, and therefore the F/A coming from them is allowed to have a more straight shot towards the chamber in a lateral direction (across the face, pushing more F/A to the side without as much).
I won't lie, though. This is simply my opinion on it, based on what I've seen and what I know (which isn't much, in some cases). I am sure you have much more experiance, being that you did the whole N/A to turbo conversion, and you definately learned alot through that experiance. I hope we can still be friends, Aaron
Anyway, I certainly agree that in a turbo application, the sleeves are a big restriction. But only because they reduce the volume of the runner. The port hole in the sleeve is nearly as large as the port, so I can't see that it would pose any significant restriction. And the sleeve itself helps to smooth out the "lip" and transition at the end of the runner.
Now, if you have ports like this, things are different:
I was temped to post pictures of my PP 12A housings, but that would be 1st gen.

If your motor is in good shape and your a good driver then you should be able to get near a 14 with some easy cheap mods like I did, full exhaust, don't use a cat just 2.5 inch pipe from the header back to racing beat cat back(if your low on money you could just run 2.5 or 2.25 straight back to any muffler you choose but it will be loud). An Intake, and not just a cone filter, make a heat sheild or some war for the intake to get cooler air than in the engine bay. Get good tires and Launch near redline or at least really high like 6000 depending on how traction is at your track. port your trottle body and even intake manifolds a bit, Now i'm not saying that anyone who does these things will run a 14 just that they worked for my in my 86 base model with 115000 miles on it
