Pics of my ported and trimmed-down UIM
 
I plan to get it cerama-chromed. The runners have been ported, with the openings gasket-matched. I also had all of the extraneous stock metal pieces that jut out removed in an effort to clean it up appearance-wise.

Btw, please don't quote the long list of pics if you reply :)

very slick!

Oh man that is awesome. I have been wanting to do the same exact thing, except I'm thinking about smoothing out the areas for the AWS, DT, IAT sensor, IAC, etc. for aesthetic reasons.

So is the LIM runners the same size now? It seems kind of pointless or even detrimental to flow if the UIM has bigger runners than the LIM. Or are you planning on porting those also?

Yeah, I plan to have the DT and AWS sections smoothed out as well. I am keeping the IAT sensor in it's factory location.

Re: the LIM, I'm running a GZ one.

Edit: I kept the aesthetic mods to the top and front of the UIM pretty much, you don't see the stuff on the backside once it's installed.

Edit again: the more I think about it, maybe I will relocate the AIT sensor to my elbow, right next to the aquamist nozzle.

Yank out all those vacuum nipples and tig weld the holes shut. Looks like you may be going single turbo anyway. I've done all three of mine this way



later

SLOASFK 07-29-07 01:38 PM

Looks good Rich!

What's a GZ manifold?

Rich went single turbo like 6 months ago...

very nice!

Monkman33 08-17-07 12:53 AM

Yeah, that's hot. How much would you charge me if I sent my UIM to you to do that? and the LIM? and the throttle body,,,

TRISPEEDFD3S 08-17-07 01:21 AM

Man that's clean...

nvmyre 08-17-07 02:05 AM

Trjackson 08-17-07 02:19 AM

How much would you charge to do this?

GoodfellaFD3S 08-17-07 09:05 AM

Let me get a labor quote from my coater/polisher/grinder/welder (he's a busy guy, lol) and I'll PM all those interested :)

MADDSLOW 08-17-07 09:50 AM

Thought you were too busy to port :(

Monkman33 08-17-07 12:21 PM

he is, that is why he is getting a quote from his guy that does teh grinding, porting, welding, polishing, etc...

AHarada 08-17-07 04:11 PM

pm me please :)

SLOASFK 08-17-07 04:46 PM

Rich is hustlin! :lol: I just wanted to say that your UIM looks damned good and since you've deleted my emissions and converted me to non-sequential, it should be nice and easy for me to replace my UIM when I start having money again and want to get this done, right?

Oh, and you have very dainty fingers ;)

HKNY 08-17-07 04:51 PM

Rich pm me if you could when the quote is available,thanks.

black99 08-17-07 04:52 PM

Wow you're like a IM guru... lol Looks good..

Didn't understand a word of that.

GoodfellaFD3S 08-17-07 06:47 PM

PMs sent to all those who expressed interest.

teddyrx2 08-17-07 07:09 PM

Prometheus 08-17-07 07:30 PM

PM me please...

I plan on staying with sequential BNR Stage III Turbos

And I am exempt from emissions (Oh it good to live in Washington)

And I plan on getting a GroundZero LIM (Could I have this sent to you for cerama-chroming?)

I don't know if this info matters or not, but just in case you needed it.

Thanks
