is it worth doing a streetport with stock twin turbos
my cars clutch is going so im bringing my car in to instal an atc 6plate clutch.. so im wondering if i should do a street port and or brige port on it while its in the shop ... i have the stock twin turbo setup on a 93 rhd(japan) rx7... so i guess my question is will the street port give me more horse power even with a stock turbo... or is it only good on bigger turbo applications.
the only other mods on the car right now is the apexi intakes and a kakimoto racing regu92z (cat back) exaust

the stock jdm car is 255bhp at the flywheel, i did a big streetport and running the same boost as stock gained 30bhp, just from the porting
You will need a aftermarket ecu if your porting the engine, do you have one?

Yes its worth it. I had my car tuned recently. pretty good sized street-port, non-sequential stock turbos. I made 267rwhp on only 9psi. Stock car makes 255 flywheel hp on 10psi. so yeah I'd definitely say street-port is worth it. sets you up for bigger and better things.

Of course, do it.
Per Rotary Performance:
"...engine porting allows the engine to breathe easier."
"With a street port, more power can be made with less boost."

I'm a firm beleiver in doing things all at once. It looks like you are paying to have major work done. If your car isn't your daily and you don't mind it waiting for you to get everything together to go single, then do it all at once.
I am doing this exactly. I have a good running twins setup with bolt-ons. My engine is very healthy. But I am going single, so what does that entail? Pulling the engine, rebuilding and porting, fresh tranny, new clutch, V-mount, single setup, and all new fuel.
Doing it this way is a big project, but everything is done at once. There is no backtracking & I don't have to worry about there being a weekest link because it is all fresh at once.
But to answer your orgininal question,... Yes. A SP will increase flow & overall power. Turbo will spool quicker, and create more power on lower boost.

If you already know what you're doing, that doesn't matter. I agree, get it all done it once. Bigger capital investment, but less O&M. problem is many owners of these cars don't have thousands of dollars in cash laying around, which is required. I easily spent $7-8k on my build when all was said and done, but four years later it is stronger than ever.

If your going single anyway.... why not have it done then?

I'm a believer in actually driving my car. So the car is tuned to run conservatively on non-seq twins until I collect my single turbo parts and have my friend weld up a custom manifold. Once the setup is completed I will have the car re-tuned for the new setup.

That aside, I do think that its better to do CERTAIN mods all at once. Too much too soon and you risk having to trouble shoot too many different things when something goes wrong off the start.
And like everyone else has said, getting a street port will open up the engine for a lot more power down the road and you would notice a notable difference with even the stock twins.

Streetport stock twins versus BNR Stage 3s
I've learned a lot from this thread so I was wondering how a street port with the stock twins would compare to a street port with BNR Stage 3s running them sequentially...? Realize there are probably a lot of variables here...don't the Stage 3s really shine with increased boost (over 15 psi)..? But, if I remember earlier in this thread it was mentioned you get more hp at lower boost with a street port..?
thanks
thanks

To the OP, if you arent going to run a standalone dont get it ported, or at least not much more than a little clean up of the ports. An engine with a good sized port job will run like **** on a stock ecu or remap ecu car at idle. Fuel economy is ridiculous also along with usual ignition break up at higher rpms due to fouled plugs. Once again, I still dont understand how getting a clutch leads to porting work.
