i ran my car at the track thinkin that everything was in perfect working condition. soon after i realized that my 5th and 6th ports were stuck and haven't worked at all. i ran a 16.2 which i was dissapointed at first thinking my ports were opening. i am in the process of trying to fix the 5th and 6th ports but i have been unsuccessfull so far.

 

by they way my motor is all stock, no porting, just intake and exhaust. obviously no turbo.

 

To me that pretty fricken fast!
Isn't an NA supposed to pull right around 16.0 flat?

that's what i don't know. i'm hopin once i get the 5th and 6th ports that i will run low 15's.

 

Damn, i hope i pull something like that my first time out :p i've never dragged so i'll probably do worse!

 

i ran a 15.5@88 in my NA and it had exhaust and totally functional 6pi/VDI

 

i could be wrong but i highly doubt working 5th/6th ports will take you from a low 16 to a low 15. i'd suspect that it would land you in the high 15's

 

Were they stuck open or closed?

 

If they were stuck closed I'm amazed that you ran a 16.2 . If they were stuck open I don't think that would make too much of a difference because you won't be under 4k much in a drag race anyway.

 

stock n/a's usualy run mid 16's

 

they were stuck closed when i ran the 16.2. i'm in the middle of trying to get them fixed but having trouble doin it.

 

[nub question] How do you know if ports are stuck open/closed? [/nub question]

I put down 110 HP with no 5th/6th ports and working VDI (it's actually funny to see that spike in the horsepower, confused the HELL out of the people who were running the dyno).

Now with 5th/6th ports - we'll see but sadly by that time I'll have my supercharger on...

 

I ran a 15.319 @ 90.XXmph in my '87 with an intake, header, no cat, and a Borla cat-back system with the 5&6 intake ports wired open. The best thing for a rotary that I have found, was to get rid of the cats, not exactly legal though.

 

Hey For yall's N/A has anyone ever considered SuperCharger. I have Supercharged before and sometimes it can save you takin all the ports.

 

The only supercharger in production for our cars suck .

Porting has already proved to have better dyno numbers then the Camden .

 

Yeah, if you've got the time to crack open the engine and port it...

 

I did 16.2, 16.7 and 15.9 with stuck ports. Good times!

 

dude no cats rule!! streight pipes with 5th an 6th ports open an workin is a good thing to have powwer to the loud fc
