pretty damn cheap...

 

i dont get it...

 

Well, it is kinda hard to port the runners unless you cut the intake apart. Maybe he really meant he gasket matched? Or maybe I'm missing something too.?
Whatever happened to the porting process where they forced the abrasive putty through the part? This was used on the SVT contour intake if I remember right.

 

umm...i'll throw down $25 for it, haha

 

its a 2001, not a 2000, theres really no porting you can dothe runners are pretty thin, i still dont see what he could have possibly have "ported" unless it was for a 65mm tb, in either case theres no way your getting any extra power out of it

 

Awww hells yea, that intake is tizzight!

 

Porting still won't put you where just swapping a non ported 00 style on the 01 up's.......waste of money and the time to put it on.........if it was an 00 style I would say heck yeah.........

 

Porting already thin plastic?.. kinda scary, stuff. The putty porting stuff is still around, but only a few places do it. It does help though.

 

yeah it has to be a 2000 style intake to get full effect for what i hear

 

you mean extrude honing. i am a big fan of that stuff! i wish we had metal intakes we could extrude hone!

 

hey greg can you port mine? []

 

Yeah, Extrude Honing, thanks llama. If I remember correctly they could use that process on anything that flowed air, gas, or liquid (As long as it was metal and not too thin). Seems like the practical application was to port the intake tract as one piece (TB, and manifold), I may even remember the head(s) being attached. It did wonders for turbo housings and impellers too.

Not really, have you ever priced extrude honing?

For example, extrude honing a mustang cobra intake upper and lower costs more than the entire intake setup. Prices are outrageous.

 

aftermarket engines can be cheaper from some shops.

 

I've never priced it, but it does allow you to do some unique things without cutting and welding. Also if you race in such a class, it allows you to keep a stock appearance.
