OK I pulled the engine out of the car I traded for to clean and paint the engine, and to clean the engine bay.

And look at what I found:

They first picture is of a stock turbo exhaust port, the second picture is of the exhaust port in the car that I traded for (the sh#t on the housing is oven cleaner) And the port on the second picture is about a 1/2 inch wider than the stock port, I mean theat this is huge, it is much bigger that the exhauast gasket.

And I also found out that it has a racing pressure plate, and a 4 puck clutch


So does anyone know what size port that would be classified as?

man, the metal insert is damn near gone. Gonna be a lot of overlap between the exhaust and intake. If you get a 3" exhaust, and a FCD, you should be able to boost sky high and not worry about the exhaust system.

ewww im afraid to even look at mine

Cory Simpson

Yeah I just got done fingering the intake to and it is big as a mother f#cker. I think this engine will run for like 50,000 miles before it goes POP.

Man, I hope thats some degreaser or something on that second pic, cuz that looks FUNKY man. There is going to be a hella lot of overlap, not necissarily a good thing...

ERAUMAZDA

the second pic scares me

Fingers

What you have there is a DIRTAY *** ENGINE

Congrats on the sweet find

Cory Simpson

It isn't derty anymore, right now the whole engine is beinge painted in the drive way. I will post some pictures of it once me and my brother get it finished. I think it will look pretty good, but it is getting cast iron paint on the side housing, and grabber green on the rotor housing

Please don't hate me. And if you must know why we choose those colors, it was just to make everyone on the forum say WTF.

Cory Simpson

Why?

Don't be scared. That is just a race port, made by grinding the sleeve down and increasing the exhaust duration by opening a little earlier and closing later. I would guess that its idle is a little rough, but all the gunk is just degreaser. Now, if the intake ports looked like the so-called "godzilla port" that I have seen pictures of, be scared, very scared.

Cory Simpson

Uhhmm I think the intake ports might be that big, I can't touch the end of the port with my middle finger!

And the stuff all over the engine isn't degreaser it is oven cleaner (I love that stuff it takes off any and everything with no work)

88IntegraLS

Oven cleaner? Hey that is a great idea. Degreaser has trouble with the really baked on grime, but that is what oven cleaner is made for.

Cory Simpson

Oven cleaner eats off all the paint, and will eat off your skin if it stays on it for more that like 10 seconds. The only bad thing is that after you wash it off it oxidises very bad and very fast. So you have to wipe or wire bruh the oxidisation off of what ever metal you used it on. And it will make stuff rust very fast to, so you have to either oil it up or paint it. Just a warning on that.


And I also just got done cleaning the engine bay for the most part with oven cleaner, and it got off caked on grease that was at least a 1/2 inch thick in spot. And all I had to do was let it sit for about an hour, and then come back with a house and spray it off. The down side, it eats paint off of some parts in the engine bay, but it won't eat the actual cars paint off as long as it is still good.

Mr. Gadget

Sounds like your using that blood from the alien movie...


dude, is it worth the pain of repainting the engine bay, and where does this stuff go after you hose it down???

Cory Simpson

It actually doesn't eat the engine bay paint off, it eats paint off thinks like the steering rack, the winshield wiper motor, and ...... You know the stuff that has the less durable paint.

And after I hose it off I let it run threw the driveway, it kills any existing grass, and stops future grass from growing.
