ported my blower

[01Sleeper]

Well i had Hans pull the blower off so I could port it. It only took about 2.5hrs. total to do. I found a template on svtp and then modified it just a bit, then compared it to Stegemier's. I think it looks pretty close and hopefully it will make the power. I cut the bottom of the blower bigger, and just polished the intake side. i am currently working on a plenum and throttle body too.

My port:

What do you guys think,does it look pretty close?

 

[WhtSuperStang]

i think it looks pretty close...i think ur upper part on the big port section is larger than the steggy tho... but still looks great!

It is slightly larger because the grinder started to slip, so I had to round it out again.

looks good tho man! i wonder what kinda power its gunna make now?

just curious how did u not get metal shavings in the blower?

I did, I had to clean the hell out of it all day today until they were all gone, then I stripped the powdercoating off it and recoated gloss black.

sweet i gotta see it in person i cant remember the last time i got c ur car... u bring it out less than i do lol haha

 

[Flatliner]

Wow... nice job! If only we could convince you on the track

 

[rdsnake]

looks damn close to me, how did you go about getting all of the metal shavings out of it?

I used a combination of compressed air, simple green, a tooth brush and really hot water. I spent no lie about 6 hours yesterday cleaning it. i am very confident that it is all out.

It'll be interesting to see how the home port works. I think Stiegemeier has discovered that a little bit of a difference in the port can make a big difference in how the blower works. Maybe Hank could chime in with a couple remembrances on his blower port job and other related stories. Good luck and let us know how it works.

That turned out really nice, can't wait to see the power increase. BTW, I called the IL Environment Protection Agency, and you were right! No more emissions test for me. That x-pipe is going on as soon as I have a chance to install it.

I'll probably end up selling my BBK h-pipe with cats now.

Looks good. I was thinking about doing that to mine and saving some money. Are you going to do the throttle body? Do you have any dyno #'s before? Keep us posted.

Could you post a link to the template?

I'm very interested in seeing how this come out. But, I have a few questions.

---Did you mill out or grind out the port?

---Where did find the port templet?

If this comes out, I may do this myself.

send it out to the pro,s..im sure that stegemeier has hundreds of man hours in testing different porting options and after the research he uses the best available port. you cant just hog something out and get great numbers. there are a ton of variables such as airflow and resistance. the less metal doesnt meen more power so be carefull. your job does look ok and i hope it works but for $400 i will send it out everytime.

Goodluck with it Toddameier!

Whether it nets quite as much power as a Steggy port or not, I still got to give props to another fellow member that does their own work. I just don't see people sending all their stuff out to other people to do as a real gearhead/racer. Good going Todd. :biggthump

All you should have to do is right click and print it. Here is what the results were on the car where they used this same template:

Well the car definately made more power, throttle response is great, and at peak it gained 24rwhp and 20ftlbs, but the most important thing is it gained power everywhere, down low, up top at 3000 rpm it gained 30rwtq at 6200rpm it gained 37rwhp, where it was dropping off and much needed, The biggest problem now is with these gains, the stock mass air meter is now pegged. So corey needs to buy a 300 dollar mafs, and we might as well port the plenum and toss on a larger throttle body. Either way it will be really neat to see the gains with the nitrous after this, and maybee some more porting.

I would much rather do it my self and save the $400. Even if it doesn't make as much power, it didn't cost me anything but some of my own labor. Plus I like to do this kind of stuff.

I actually just traced the template(which I posted in an earlier reply) the I drilled a series of 6 holes in the round portion and then used an air grinder to connect the holes and remove the rest of the aluminum. Then I used a 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" hole saw to drill the top two holes. You just have to make sure you don't drill the t20 upper holes too high, since they will end up out of the case

Thanks, I love to do this kind of stuff and figured why spend the money if I don't have to. I will let everyone know how much power it makes. I have before #'s in my sig, and I am going to dyno it after I get a few other things squared away.

Thinking about doing mine have you got the numbers back yet?
