Default TB porting?

I am looking for a TB porting how to. I have tried using the search option but have not found anything that i am looking for! I was wondering if any one had a link to a how-to etc! Also does anybody have any idea what HP gains if any you can get from a ported TB? Thanks!!

talk to spartan perf (damian iirc)....i believe they do the porting and its a pro job, fast turn around time....not hard on the budget either...prob better than trying it on your own

Pull it off, hog it out, clean it off, Re-install. Let rubber fly! In that order.

Esentially, all your trying to do is smooth out the huge, nastyass ridge in the tb. Be carefull not to go too much as there are water passeges throughout. From there u can also do the halfshaft mod and the bumpstop mod. Hope this helps! Happy Moddn'!

Have SilverGhost do it. He did mine. Fast turn around too. You should pick up about 5-7hp with the mod.

the very small and reasonable cost from damian is very much worth his experience. thats what you're paying for. i also have heard with porting you can screw it up worse then it was before. plus you KNOW that its done great when you get it back.

it's not rocket science

its not really that. damian has been the first to do anything on my car. i do ALL the work on my car. its not how hard it is, its the fact that they know what they are doing and its cheap and some people dont have the patience to sit behind a grinder for two hours plus hunt down all the right sand paper rolls and **** like that.
