Lars have you done any more porting then your intital porting

shuiend

iTrader: (24)

I have not. Tonight the plan is to go out into the garage and try not to freeze my ***** off while I do some more porting. Once more porting is done and I get it back on the car we will see if I can get boost to stop creeping as much. Braineack just says I need to up my overboost cut to 215kpa and live with the power.

If the porting doesn't generate enough heat to warm your garage, then you aren't porting enough!

Are you going to port the turbos for the group buy?

Probably at a price. Thats really part of the premise of being a beta tester IMO

shuiend

I am not. I will probably offer it as an additional service if you want me to do it. The process is not hard at all, it is just a good bit time consuming to do. A single carbide bit, die grinder, and time is all you need to port the waste gate. is the carbide bit set I bought. I think I have tried out 2 or 3 of them and they have all worked about the same. If you bought a single cone shaped carbide bit you should be more then good enough to port a waste gate.

I bought some carbide bits off of ebay for a dremel that work great they like the turbo are also Chinese so they do a good job.

Also when the group buyers start installing our kit. Id imagine that we continue the discussion in a different thread?

Link to the dremel bits you bought off eBay? I want to grab a few to give those a try.

Once I get a few out I will move discussion to a new thread. This thread will be cleaned up and changed a bit and will be similar to Braineacks MS thread for regular sales.

Considering my business is selling carbide tooling it's almost scary to see some of the prices; dremel carbide bits | eBay

Original porting.


How it looks now.


I am taking a break to eat some dinner and warm up. Then I will probably go out and keep going at it. This is what it needs to get to.

You need a friend with a Bridgeport....

shuiend

iTrader: (24)

Yes that would be nice. The local machinist that I use just sold his shop. He let it go for an insanely good price. Had I known about him wanting to sell it I might have tried to buy it myself. So now I don't even have a machinist with a bridgeport.

Thia is where I stopped at. Braineack said it was pretty good so I will give it a try. Everything is back together on the car. I will go out tomorrow and see how it goes. I will try to get some pulls to redline.

Oh also BTW when I say they work AWESOME. I mean they work awesome for being on a dremel. It will still take some time to port as they are not that big but still get the job done.

shuiend

Thanks. I spent about 1.5 hours last night working on the porting job. One of the big reasons it takes a while is my compressor is only so big and can't keep up with the die grinder. So it is a lot of hit it for a minute or two then wait for the compressor to fill back up.

You can overport the turbo. Oops.


I welded it back us as I best I could.


More importantly, I received a ton of materials today.


Still waiting on head flanges and T3 flanges with M10x1.5 threads.
