I was just wondering if anyone in the area here would do n/a 6-port porting, or know of anyone who does...thanks a lot.

 

Are you looking to have it done professionally? Tony Rivera works at Apex,

cool, thanks. i sent them an email.

 

Tony races and builds his own cars very successfully. If you want to talk to him you can just drop by at Rotary Specialists at Raritan of Evans. He works with his brother in law there during the week.

 

from looking at their website, it sounds as if race engines are his specialty...would he want to bother with doing a mild streeport?

 

He is expensive if that is what you mean. He wouldn't do a bridge for me. Why don't you post on the yahoo group Mile High Rotary Club. There are a couple of guys who do porting. It will be more of a garage job but much cheaper.

He doesn't work there anymore.

 

He did my street port. He's expensive, but he is making 200+ HP 6-port street ports. I think it's a case of you get what you pay for.

 

i think i'll ask around on the MHRC site as well, good idea.

what do you we mean when we are talking about expensive? i am currently under the impression that the average streetport costs from 2-300 or so. i am on a budget, but where exactly the budget goes is still very much up in the air.

purple82- any specifics that you might have on some of the cars that he has done would be awesome, such as the power, the style of port and relevant mods. or just the name of any owners on the forum, and i can do the research myself...

btw, thanks everyone

 

Basically, Tony's the man as far as e-prod, spec7 and spec miata racing out here. TR Rotorsports (Tony's side company) mostly does racing engines so normally the work he does is more oriented towards that end of the spectrum. I'm sure porting and engine building can be done for less, but he's got alot of experience and knows what he's doing.

He built my Street Port S5. I told him I wanted a very mild port job to keep it emissions legal and to keep low rpm driveability. The engine dyno'd at 170 rwhp in Denver (about 200 fwhp), at sea level that would be about 200rwhp. The engine work was much more than $300 but he built up the entire engine, he didn't just port plates and hand them back.

It's probably best to call Apex and talk to Tony directly to find out if he can do what you want.

 

Jim Berg (works at the Mazda Honda shop) built and ported my motor. I'm sure he'd be more than happy to do yours as well.

He does good work too. He learned from Tony. I can get anyone Jim's cell phone number if they're interested. Send me a PM

 

Hey purple what do you mean by (200fwhp)? Fwhp mean Front Wheel Horse Power right? How is that possible when these cars are rear wheel drive?

Ah! Now i feel stupid. LoL

 

i've tried emailing apex a while back but all my emails get returned...i'm still looking around, as far as tech info goes, at all my options.

 

If you're serious, then you should call them.

 

right now i'm in the process of possibly buying some already-ported irons, but we'll see how it goes.
