street or bridgeport?
Alright well I searched for it, but my question is...What is the difference betweena bridge port and a street port....I know on a street port they port out the openings to the intake and exhuast ports....so what exactly is a bridge port? sorry I'm still really new had my car less than 6 months probably

it would never pass emisions or be trully "streetable" for that matter, 2000rpm idle, very loud, and horrid gas milage.
in other words i want one bad, when this engine goes bridge port is on the way.

Honestly in these days of programmable standalones, bridges are not nearly as nasty as they once were.
Gas mileage also isn't too bad, especially on the highway.

just get a mild street port if you have to worry about emmissions... BUT, if you have the hook-up over there for smog, then go right ahead with the b-port....

AFIK, the more extreme the porting gets, the lower the life expectancy of the motor, am I right?
So that's definetely something to keep in mind when selecting a port for your engine.

And yes, a bridge will make more power then a streetport - is Captin Obvious standign behind you or something??

The real difference in porting is that a ported engine is much more likley to be run hard, thus the lower reliability...

I dropped the half-bridge idea and went full instead, I'll never look back. Bridge if you are wanting serious power, take advantage and run a large turbo. Oh yeah getting all your emissions done is tricky unless you have good friends.

I tried explaining that to him but he gave me **** because I was 1/2 bridging a motor that was going to be turbo'd hehe...
But it should be reliable enough for my needs.....

New person pipe dreams.
Honestly. A bridge is for someone which has already hit 300+hp and knows rotaries and EMS's well.
You can easily get the hp you want without porting if your turbo. Jrat's proven that.
NA's.... well the only NA I think is worth while is a 20b.
