My ported intake manifold...

[qtrmile beast]

here are some pics of the ported intake that did a little while back... has anyone done this to their intake yet?

[Nepharius]

Curious, did you take before photos? How much of a difference did porting it have?

[Yeldarb]

Can I ask some dumb questions? Why porting? Is it about better flow? More air/fuel?

dont think anyone has done this yet...
luke 3mps might be doing it.... MPS2NV might as well, think he's already done "port matching"

the only other person who has done enough to their car would be 2XS... those are/were the 3 most heavily modified cars on the forum

So what is it money or options because if that is not something that you guys have done then man there are worlds of stuff that can be done... For those that was their intakes port and powdercoated i can do that for you as well!! Well i will try and bring as much info as i can with me to this forums as possible as i want to see you guys grow!!!

By the way i was looking for anymore forums weather it be from AU or where ever can someone point me in the right direction?

it's probably more the fact that not many people have replaced their stock turbos yet...

for quite a while it's been simple bolt ons (ie intercooler/intake/exhaust/tune)
2XS was (as far as i know) the first person to really push it in australia with turbos by putting a 2876r on his
luke has a 3076, and MPS2NV has a 3071 (luke's is built, just needs proper tuning... MPS2NV's is still being built...)
someone over in perth has a BNR stage 3, another a BNR stage 1...

sourcing parts from the states is another challenge entirely, but i wont go into that...
and up until recently there hasnt been much (if any) locally made products for the mps/mazdaspeed

also, things are much more expensive here in australia... a downpipe costs AU$1000-1200 here whilst you can pick up a CP-E one in the states for $500, or corksport for $300
even taking into account the average wage of an australian is ~50% more than the US (63k vs 40k) we are still paying 50-100% more for products here (imagine the CPE downpipe being US$850-900

i think with locally made parts starting to become more easily accessible, a stronger dollar allowing easier access to parts from the US (it's actually cheaper for us to buy some stuff from US & ship it over, than to buy locally...) and cars starting to come out of warranty, things should start to move along nicely

we've seen a few gen 2's pushing 270-280hp (210kw) at the wheels with only 15-16psi (intake/TMIC/downpipe/tune stock turbo) so i think things will start to move along nicely over the next year or so as people start to push the boundries a bit more (and hopefully 2XS gets another MPS.... )
