Intake manifold porting questions
Ok, I have the dual TB enterprise intake manifold from Shaun, and it uses the factory middle manifold that he ported out, very nice job.
I don't know if I can afford to have the lower manifold ported before I put the enterprise on my car, is it going to be a waste of time installing it without porting the lower manifold?
How much do they cost to port, and Shaun would you be interested in doing mine? :scratch:
I'd like to get it on the car asap, but I'd hate to pull it all off again to get the lower manifold done in the near future.

I don't really do that sort of stuff anymore. I could, but I'd rather not. I would try to find someone who has one already done by darrel and see if you can buy that then just do a simple swap to keep down time to a minimum
My suggestion though is if you can't find one is to at least gasket match the lower intake to the middle intake. That way there is at least a smooth transition from the middle intake into the lower.

if you have a 1/4 inch die grinder and some air, you can gut that lower intake pretty quick, and then finish it off with some sanding rolls.
YOu can get aluminum cutting bits from any fastenel shop and they will have a 1/4 inch shank for the die grinder. That will remove big chunks and make things go quick.
The sanding rolls are to smooth and finish it off. you can get those at a local performance shop probably, or through a place like summit or Jegs for around $35.
Now that I think about it you might as well get this stuff to port out the lower. You don't want to ruin flow especially with that intake and the heads that can flow a good amount of air. It makes no sense to put a big restriction in between the 2 peices.
