Thread: Gen 5 or ported gen 3

Putting a Gen V on by itself is like adding an intercooler. It's a great early mod.

Porting a Gen 3 is like getting a bandaid when you cut your leg off. Huge difference. I've done a lot of both being an installer. The tuning, power and changes overall from a Gen V far outweight any porting done to Gen 3's.

yeah but the genv sounds so much better and its more efficient... to an extent i guess. i suppose if youre mildly going to mod i would advise no genv but if you really want to work your engine a genv is a good idea.

With Gen V pricing being pretty good these days. I'd suggest it.

Lower temps = less KR. Why pump heat into your motor when you can pump in cool air?

I ported, I polish, I learned everything about the hardest ways possible.

Take a ported Gen 3 and a Gen V. Run them the same and then pop both hoods. Put your hand on the Gen V. warm, you could keep your hand on it..but not going to burn you. Gen 3... can't keep your hand there, it would burn you.
