alright so im gettin rdy to rebuild my engine this summer but have a few questions..was wanting to go with a large streetport but was wondeing if itd do any good to port the TB and intake from tb back..? my goal is around 350ish hp..bc its and s4 and dont want to bust my irons and was gonna have it studed or is this just something to help bust an iron!? or is it anyway to reinforce the irons so tht they wont crack!?

 

Yeah, it's called studding it or doweling it.

 

studding isnt necessary for 350 hp. If your gonna do anything put the s5 rear iron on.

 

wow thanks smartass!! the question was on an s4 block will a stud kit make it more prone to cracking an iron bc s4 blocks arent as reinforced and is their any way to reinforce it so tht it wont crack under high hp if I do pin it..?

Perhaps Karack can chime in.

 

is it tht easy!? if so this is great I have a few good s5 irons on the shelf!

 

So someone was supposed to guess that this was your question? You failed to mention any of that in your original post. Before jumping to conclusions and attacking people, try going back to make sure your post does not need a secret decoder ring.

Adding dowels is intended to strengthen an engine.

 

yeah im sry 2slow4stock for the flameage tht was was a little over the top and I took you wrong..its just about everytime sumone post a question ppl just act like thier dumbasses for not knowing and I thought this was the way you meant it..

and thanks for the advise guys hope to post some pixs soon!!!

 

I just had my engine rebuilt('88 S4 T2) at Lucky & Racing, I'm picking it up next week. It has a street port with port match on my LIM.They replaced all of my housings with S5 irons and rotor housings, also S5 turbo rotors with flywheel and front counterweight. In fact the only S4 parts I'm getting back when I pick it up next week is the water pump housing and front cover, and manifold, of course.

I, too hope for 350ish hp. I'm told, just changing to the S5 rear iron is sufficient at that power level.
