There were a couple people that were trying this a while ago, anyone have any pics or progress?

 

None here, no funding. I'm going to be making intake spacers soon to hopefully gain some $$, but otherwise, still sitting in the same spot.

 

I know of one forum member who has one built but is having trouble using the stock ECU. I'm working on a 13B FI 1st gen project now and 1/2 BP is an option, but I don't think I can afford the computer extras needed. I may end up doing a big street port instead. Either way, I've already cranked the #'s for intake runner dimmensions & exhaust setup. I'd much rather do the 1/2 bridge.

 

Here is some of my preliminary work, I am awaiting apex seals and stuff from Rotary aviation right now, tomorrow I will bridge the the rear plate..
I am using a TII center plate in this motor..max

 

Hey Max is this going to be a turbo engine or a n/a? Would be intresting to see how a 6 port BP would work with a turbo.

on a side note, remember when you were giving me advice on how to make my manifold? Well it's paying off! Hasn't cracked and spools the turbo almost too soon if you ask me.
Thanks again for the advice.

 

I don't plan to bridge anything but the aux-port when I do it. Everything else gets a large SP.

On another note... it wouldn't hurt to pull the back of the auxport a little closer to the bridge. The bridge only needs to be 5mm wide, which should give you a bit more surface area.

 

This is purely n/a, I have full bridge turbo motor on the go as well. I want to see how much oomph the bridge porting makes over standard ports, so I figured I would give this a try..
Glad to hear your manifold worked out, tig welding is like riding a bike, once you got, you got it for life..
LA: I know there is a bit of space left there, but the port area of the n/a is already quite huge , and adding the bridge increase the port area, I wanted to avoid getting into the "von" port, that was simply way to big and making it bigger I am not sure is that important, as the sleeved port will only flow so much, I think bridging the aux port probably is enough anyway.....Max

 

Hey max, what are you using to port your motor? How long did it take you to do the bridge...and did you use a template or is the a good 'ol fashion homebrew ?

 

Nice, id love to see what your cooking too liquid, when youve got the cash. im thinking about something like this aswell. Judge ito did an aux bridged engine with good( i think) results, so i think im gonna try it when im in a better finacial situation.
