Yes, that is what he is saying.

Here is a picture of one of my early FD ports. This flows well and makes great midrange power, but in order to spool a larger turbo I have found that trying to square off the top as I marked on the port has had better results for me.

For example on a T67 nondivided .96 exhaust side we were able to get to spool by 3500 on a HKS log mani.

Just some personal experience.

Good luck

Square off the bottom of the port, the top can stay mostly square with a very shallow D if you like. Porting is so personal, you pick your style like you pick your engine builder or tuner, to each their own. Those rounded D-shaped bottom shapes are an old Mazdatrix pattern that have become widespread, not everyone does it like that.

IMO, any type of bridge is counterproductive for street use ... but do whatever you like.

Well good thing this isnt a DD, it will see alot of track time. So the bridge is better for turbo cars that will run high for a wile

That is why i am also running 2-25Row oil coolers and a EWP with Koyo Rad. Dont forget the front mount

To each there own, Some people can drive a BP on the street some cant, it just depends on how you can/like to drive.

I dont mind loud at all, my past setup was non-seq twins with a 3in DP,MP,CB with notmuch of a muffler. It was loud as hell

I am going to have the wastegate out the front passenger side fender

Well i finished cleaning all the metal off my Irons and Rotor housing, and then cleaned all the oil runners to make sure there wasnt any metal left in there.

Also degrease everything and painted it my normal paint skim

Then after all this i started to prep my turbo by cutting the extra stuff off the intake and output so i can get a 90 welded onto the turbo to help with space.

Werd man, the Van Sema noob needs to take a ride with me to understand. You don't get 8mpg by keeping it under 5k I think if you could move the powerband up to like 10-12k rpm that would be a really fun street motor.

Looks like you got a pretty nice setup coming together. I just moved to Houston, I would love to come by and meet another FD owner. I have met Kyle and I have talked with Chuck, but never met him yet. I also know Jason (formerprscheguy) from years back. When is the projected ETA for this car seeing the streets/track? I just sold my HBP motor about a month or so ago....decided to try something a bit more tame for my track car.

Yep I no everyone that you are talking about, i am the other chuck in are family


I am down in the freeport area so i am south south houston

I work the next 4 days and then i get my Long Change (7 Days Off). This is when everything will be coming together. So my ETA for having it running is by Feb 23

And i should be at the next meeting

I wonderd the same thing, I went over there and we mesured it and it looked to me like it could be a little bigger. With some custom manifold work I think you could fit a larger one where the stock mount IC went

Thanks, I am liking it now also

But i need a part for the turbo, a 7in V Band for the compressor side. Anyone no a good place?
