Thread: Really want a ported gen 3 housing!

Make it look like this and be done with it. Unless you literally open it to a full square and the rotors can't push against anything...you can't really screw it up. Not to mention you will notice nothing for performance gains and just a little more noise.

However two additional things; no need to really open the silencer ports anymore.

At the top right and left; the square edges...remove those and open the triangle outlet all the way.

Only things I would change.

I miss my old ported GenIII though...whistled like crazy.

Lol if that's all you have for knock, just blips, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Coolant ports you block off in the lim not the blower, tap and plug 1/4" npt plugs if I'm remembering right. This way you can take the blower off without draining coolant. Look up billboosts how to mod a lim in the how too section.

I'd be willing to bet you could get rid of that knock with other small stuff...cooler plugs, a colder t-stat, new (solid rubber or poly) mounts upper and lower...and any other typical maintenance you might have missed. Porting the blower, if you're not taking the blower off and upgrading it to a GenV or to do a full top end re-fresh; I honestly wouldn't waste my time...unless you're tuning it yourself and you port the blower and throttle body at the same time. And maybe toss on rockers.

It's just a lot of time for next to nothing gains.

Block off the EGR with a penny on each port and some RTV after you hack off the brackets that bolt to the LIM and rear manifold...toss out the gold stove pipe and valve itself. As for the coolant ports, most people just fill and pack it with JB weld or Quiksteel and call it a day after letting it sit over night and grinding it down flush.

My Reptile ported M90 sounded like a Hoover lol.

Looks great.

Did yoh remeber to cut those 2 bolts shorter?

I know the amount of work that is required. I know there are better ways , methods , tools etc that someone will always chime in and offer - but they all require time and patience.

I stopped for 2 reasons - the amount of time dealing with clogging up or burning out bits and the taste. Mask or not, I did porting on my workbench inside and outside - still got that ****ty metal dust in my mouth and nose lol
i bet somewhere it's proven to be highly toxic too!

Ah the retros. I made a set for the Regal. Maybe 5 people total have projector Regal lights and I doubt ANY of them are on the road today - not even mine haha

the retro project does interest me
the cost of the materials and the guessing game does not.

I wokld like like to make a sick set for my eclipse Spyder as the current ones have moderate output


let me know how it turns out
