finally got round to porting the manifold

[t5 pete]

Well finally got round to getting the 3" throttle body fitted
original


All marked up for porting

I had a burr bit but it proved to be very very slow so reverted to the good old method some elbow grease with the file it took 10-15mins

Test fitment was all fine but just needed a little more to make it all smooth flowing and no obstructions

After the final filing down was ready for a quick smooth up and polish


Difference in sizes

And finally fitted

All done just need to change over the brackets for the throttle linkage bar as there different.

Well done Pete, should improve the throttle response.

Yeah should do hopefully but there should be a good improvment on the t5 with new intercooler,3"throttle body,19t with angled exit and a new 3" down pipe with race cat

Will you be letting us know the results of this mod? Will be interested to see what gains are to be had. If the results are impressive, might consider trying it myself!

Well done mate, although there is a quicker way to do it.

How did you clean out all the grinding from the manifold?

Good queestion with it still being on the car also in my case with it off i gave the dish washer a go but it didnt do a very good job in the end the hose pipe worked brilliant

[swampy]

i have just done this on my 406 v6 coupe, opend it right up.

as for the gasket rather than gasket paper make it from 3mm ptfe, helps to reduce heat transfer between metal parts.

the next step is to remove the inlet manifold and port match that to the head fitting.
should help me see a few extra horsies
