little update
made my own gauge pod for the wideband
lovely cnc machined dual pulley for the alternator, going to run a series 5 fc alternator, lighter and smaller then stock and put out a little more amps
xmas presents, great reading
i have decided to bridge port my own motor, so bought some new burr's and an adjustable die grinder and decided to port out the water pump (practice and help flow)
end result minus the polishing with the 1000 grit
this was a 13b 4 port manifold, which has been welded and im porting it out to suit a 12a
masked with outline of ports to be ported
almost down and again needs to finished with some 1200 grit paper
update in a mo

so my inlets journey in life
from this:
to this:
to this:
sprayed red for a laugh
to this:
12a inlet gasket
alloy welded up
to this:
skimmed and polished up, ready to go
not sure how this is going to flow, but should be more than fine.
just need to wait for racing beat to email me back to order porting templates
