Experience of bridgeport / partial bridge
Hi
I am looking to hear from anyone who has experience of running a bridgeport or partial bridgeported motor. Exit13b etc.
What mileage have you done. What is the ride like? How is the starting, flooding, stalling, does this happen? How much extra fuel does it use and how much louder is the car now. Can it be driven on the street ie idle smoothly or be driven at low speed off throttle?
Thanks
Martin

Exit13b is kinda hard to get a hold of, your best bet would to be PM him.
But there are many others on this forum who have bridgeported motors.
RICE Racing has experience with lots of nutty ports and is around often to help. Maybe a PM to him would be good too. But RICE could probably streetdrive just about anything, nutty aussies

Simple....
Noise MUCH LOUDER
Milage MUCH WORSE (expect up to %25 more fuel usage for low speed/load driving)
Idle MUCH ROUGHER (in general around 1500rpm), very distinctive "lump" to it, though this can be toned down a bit.
Drivability Moderatley worse than very large street port
Starting/flooding/running Is a little worse when run with race plugs froma cold start if your fuel maps are not precise
All of this for a increase in mid range power responce and a 10% power increase in partial bridge or partial PP form for the same boost/rpm values.
Your choice, for the street (true street car) nothing is a better all round package than a street port, it is much easier to run a bit more boost and have a car that has acceptable noise limit and gets "good" fuel consumption, especially if it is a daily driver.
Choice is yours, if it's a weekend toy and you will not get harassed much by police/neighbours/inspectors then go for partial or full porting, but beware of the pit falls.
