well, the end plates (bridge porting) are done. So i have to still do the streetport on the intermediate plate.

P.S. porting teh sucks!!!

 

are you using templates for any of the porting (if so where did you get them) or just doing your own?

 

Aason, ive been using the ancient Re-Ameya "huff n puff" technique, no templates. What you do is, port a section, place a ping pong ball over the port, then blow into the intake hole as hard as possible. If the ping pong ball jumps higher then before, then your porting is working.






Actually, ive been using Nik's RacingBeat templates. The 4 port bridge template can be used on 12A and 13B's.

 

Hmm.. Bridge on the endplates, street on the intermediate... Sounds like a good combination. Can't wait to see it in action!

Update, porting on the plates is done, just need to do some polish sanding.

 

Looks good, I can see the future.

taylor: Damn gas prices are soooo high.

 

testing paint scheme, yes its completely original lol.

 

Taylor:

Body coloured housings are THE ****!

 

Gold!!!

 

I love GOOOOOOOOLD

 

started cleaning rotors, someone send me a 12A housing gah!!!!

 

Wow, that rotor cleaned up real good. I think you should go for a RB prepped weber 51 IDA. Should make awsome power on that engine.

How much were the upper and lower edges of your ports moved from stock? I'm trying to figure out how mild or wild the porting is on my S4 13B but i don't know much about porting at all. The lower edge seems like it drops down about a 1/4" from the port opening and the upper edge about the same. This is on the primary ports. The secondaries are about the same on the bottom, but since its got the aux. ports, it doesn't seem like they were moved up really at all. Haven't really felt around much in the aux ports yet. I'm guessing its a regular streetport from a template of some sort, but I'm not sure.

 

What did you use to get the rotor that clean?

What kind of paint are you using on the housings?

Jon

 

The Racingbeat BP template removes mostly upper port material, the lower part is "basically" untouched as far as how it line up on my plates. I did remove alot from upper part though.

I used 600 grit sand paper and parts cleaner on the rotor. It worked pretty well as that rotor was basically black before and it had about 1-2mm of carbon throughout the cumbustion area.

I used the "Dyno proven" whatever engine paint from CT. The glossy black, and Aluminum colored ones. I think they were the 500 degree ****.

 

waiting on the gasket set and some rotor parts, made some more progress. Cant wait to slap this thing together.

 

Got bored and did my own exhaust port on one of my junk housings.

 

Blingzor!!!

 

a few more weeks or driving the winta beatorz.

 

Damn those housings do look awesome.

I see you took your time to tape everything perfectly .

 

This city isnt big enough for all this bling!!!!

 

yep, taping took about 30 mins each housing, wonder how long it will take to tape it so that i can paint the "12A" and "Mazda" part black, oh god!!!

 

Paint it with a paint brush and some paint.

 

Oh noes, teh gaskets!!!
BP 12A rebuild party coming soon

 

Sweetness I can't wait!

I've gotta do mine next year. I've gotta have something that looks that sweet, and puts out the brap!
