Thread: Best way to do a home port job on a s/c and LIM

I can see it being potentially true that also porting out the H-bar is even better for exposing hot air to the IC core; but tell me, what harm will come of porting the LIM but not porting out the H-bar?

with an intercooler then youre fine, but if you port the lower intake like that without an intercooler then youll need to machine out the h-bar too so you can match the openings on each.
