Ported upper and lower
 

Local shop ported these by hand. Doing a dyno run with my tune, dyno run with the ported parts untuned,then when my e tune is done putting it back on the dyno. Hopefully I won’t be dealing with any fuel issues like I did in the past, lost 18whp from my last dyno run

Looking forward to seeing your numbers! Good luck!

Sub'd

Don't have time to post numbers, but the results were good. We tested before anything was put on, did a run on the upper, then run on the upper and lower. Didn't change the tune and left it strapped to the dyno. Most gains were from the upper, and saw minimal gains from the upper and lower. AGAin this was all untuned. will post up number tomorrow have to sift through my viedos.

Following for numbers after install.

Whew its late, But the first base map has been sent out the Specialty Z

Another late night. But Map 2 data logs are in. Thanks again JAYHOVAH for letting me use his cable.

Bottom line is what I made before putting on anything. I believe this was with just the upper

This was a 5th gear run with the upper

Some parts of the powerband I picked up 14whp. Hopefully it will increase with a tune. Afr was on the lean side

Come to find out my motor is knock sensitive

Leaning the afr and increasing the volumetric efficiency will increase combustion temperature and pressure. Both of these tend to increase the tendency to knock on a given fuel. Ignition timing must be adjusted to stay out of detonation if you want your engine to live a long fruitful life.

Seb is tuning the car. Still in the process of data logging.

I'm interested to find out whatever came of this and the tuning from Seb?

Reason I'm asking is because I'm having an upper and lower ported right now and have my tuning done also by Seb.

Also wondering if I would benefit from ported throttle bodies to help out with the ported upper and lower.

And yes, I have been searching and reading, but haven't really found anything of use.

Many thanks in advance!

Hp gains with ported TB’s are obsolete, Throttle response will
Improve. It all depends who did your porting and how well of a job they did. Seb’s tuning is on point, but I have a knock issue. Don’t know if it’s a false knock or real knock, we did over 150 logs with race gas twice still kept knocking which I believe is false knock, but to be on the safe side we kept the timing down. But I ran with another Z making over 340 and we are neck and neck. I never went back on the dyno after the tune. Hey if you’re interested me and SS firehawk signed up for track day at Sebring October 7th through chin motorsports.

I'm not looking for HP gains "only" from the TB's, but everything as a whole. A little crisper throttle response would be nice also, though it's pretty good already.

I won't be able to make Sebring unfortunately.

I've done two track days since i got tuned by Seb and the car has ran flawless.

Glad to hear that your Z is doing good. Seb is THEE MAN!

Well I decided to order up the match ported/polished/bored TB's. They'll be punched out to 65mm. Figured why the heck not...

And I think I've mentioned this before, but we should really meet up one weekend. just for the heck of it. I'm a lonely Z owner here in this podunk town.

Who is doing your port work?

One of the Central Florida Z Club members. It's not his make means of income, but he's working on it, called BSTuning (look it up on FB). He does everything from porting and polishing to installs to tuning via ECUTek and UpRev, by dyno, road and email.

I just missed him at the Z meet at Ace Cafe in Orlando this past Saturday. Pretty much I was leaving as he was arriving, but actually he was there about an hour or so when we decided to leave. Never saw or met him though, though I have spoken with him a few times via PM.

From what I have heard, he does excellent work.

Really great guy, easy to talk to and his prices can't be beat.

My buddy Sean. Lol year later

Buddy Sean does the best porting around the tampa area. The fastest NA Z has his manifold

How much does he charge for porting? I've been interested in buying a second upper/lower intake manifold and throttle bodies to have ported but don't know what labor usually runs.

I’d have to asking. I believe the combo will be cheaper then motordyne’s upper. I highly just recommend doing to upper and leaving the lower oem.

I would keep TB’s stock as well

This is a turbo ported lower,going on spoolers boosted 370
