6 port streetport turbo
Hi all, new to the forum
Is it good idea to streetport my engine while rebuilding it?
Its a 6 port turbo... trying to have some bottom end.
Thanks
Kyle

Streetporting your engine will make you gain mid/top-end power , while sacrificing your low end.
Streetporting opens up the ports so they more air can flow, but air will move slower through a bigger opening when its at a low rpm.
Street porting is done for making more peak power, which is made at high end, around 6500rpm.
If you want more low end you'll want a faster spooling turbo(a ball bearing turbo), boost will also be made faster if you upgrade your exhaust if you haven't already, as well as a dyno tune.
Can anyone else add to this?
I hope I'm not completely wrong with what I said
If a street port will help build boost faster that will help low end , but I'm not sure if it will... ??

Almost any porting you do on the 6 port block will reduce low end torque. Especially in a configuration (which I assume you are running) which eliminates the aux port actuators to fit all the turbo stuff.
As a 6 port turbo isn't a standard setup, it would help to know a bit about how it was converted. What intake manifolds were used? What turbo?
6 ports already have HUGE port area with very late closing timing when all ports are open, so there's not a lot more to do on the secondaries/aux if you want to maintain low end. In a turbo configuration, I'd port the primaries up a bit for a more duration and better chamber filling, then port the exhausts down a little just to get more energy to the turbine. Won't have too drastic an effect on low end.
