July 16, 200718 yr Author Cool thanks! Well I decided to post the same thing in this thread along with my other massive one (ignore this, accidental double post)
July 16, 200718 yr Dude, your car is gonna be so UNnaturally aspirated, even the headgaskets on the thing are gonna be blown!! wait.. maybe thats not entirely a GOOD thing, huh?
July 16, 200718 yr I just thought of a crazy idea!What if you were to "accidentaly" drop the EJ257 into the EA82T car?
July 16, 200718 yr I already have bad ideas about my ej25d that came out of my RS...my gl needs some power.
July 16, 200718 yr Author I already have bad ideas about my ej25d that came out of my RS...my 87 gl needs some power. uh, thats an 86.... :-p Oh yeah and dont you have a Boxster with a rattle to fix????
July 17, 200718 yr Author I ordered my two Turbo gaskets today, I dont know when I will have them, But I sure hope they work, now I need to find a copper Crush washer that the correct size for the oil feed line... Any Ideas??? I did try my local auto parts stores. Any Info on the turbo separation????????? Jonathan, mabey your air chisle??? zzz this is part of what needs porting, all that while you see is in my way... but only if I can get this thing separated.... Sorry for the poor Pic
July 17, 200718 yr PB all around it loosten all the bolts put the pipe in a vice and wack it with a mallet. thats what I did, then again I didn't really plan on using that turbo ever again
July 17, 200718 yr Ill drop by tonight and grab that copper crush washer...My work will have one that should work. check out these pictures that I found on Nabisco.
July 18, 200718 yr Author Hey Jonathan, Want to let me use your air pencil Boaring tool, and posibly some of your smoothing pads??? My harbor freight dremel wanabee is dieing, I think its throwing bearings inside.... and It also has no power..... PLEASE????????????????????
July 19, 200718 yr Author Well, I went to home de-pot and I bought me the bestist dremel they had... and now look at how the porting is coming along!! Its really hard to get the camera to focus on this so sorry for the crappy pictures.. and yes I do see the scratches I made on the mating surface, I will have to polish those up!
July 19, 200718 yr I found the copper crush washers for brakes on the calipers will wor if you get the smaller ones. I got a pack of like 8 of them from the parts store for a few bucks.
July 20, 200718 yr name brand dremel is an excellent investment.. it is a FAR more precise machine than the harbor freight tools. If you are going to do porting work, its important to have a smooth surface when you are done. and you cant REALLY accomplish that with a cheapo "dremel"
July 20, 200718 yr Author I found the copper crush washers for brakes on the calipers will wor if you get the smaller ones. I got a pack of like 8 of them from the parts store for a few bucks. My bro in law got me a few from his work so Im good for now, but Ill keep that in mind!!
July 20, 200718 yr use the sanding drums to finish out the surface. i assumed you used the stone cones. i use the cutting bit on aluminum and shape it up with stones, then finish up with the sanding drums. rpms on the dremel are going to be dictated by what bits you use. thge dremel brand bits should be rated with an rpm range
July 21, 200718 yr Author My parts are enroute and are supposed to be here on the 25th so, I thought I might as well give you guys an update, I have fineshed porting, as far as I feel I need to go, I took off quite a bit of metal, and Now I am getting ready to polish it, nice and shiny, (mabey....) This is with it being sanded with the fine grit sandpaper, untill the paper blew up in my face, and scared the CRAP OUT OF ME, ALWAYS WEAR SAFTEY GLASSES, I stupidy had them over my head, but luckily with my ADD I was able to turn my head and close my eyes before damage was done... AND YES I WAS USING THE CORRECT SPEED!!!! I even double checked in my manuel after it blew!!! Anyways I will post more pics when I get to polishing, OH! and my dremel has some balancing issues, whenever I put a large stone on it, it vibrates crazyly, so i am going to buy a new coilet to see if mine is bent and if its not, well, Dremel owes me a new tool!!!!! I hate this crap!
July 21, 200718 yr Author Well, I have been polishing with the rough compound for about 3 hours or so now, and i have decided to post my worthless pictures... If you are looking this thread up for info on porting, DO NOT GRIND the turbine area, doing so can be hazardous, I used a stiff wire brush on my dremel to remove the excess exhaust buildup and thats it. The stuff at the very end I cant get to, but it will definately be better than before.
July 21, 200718 yr its not going to polish out mirror shiny, but it will be smooth to the tough. yours looks more polished down than my exhaust ports on mt spfi heads. looks good!
July 22, 200718 yr Author well, my dads friend (who a machinest) told me that my port was lumpy, and after feeling it myself, i realized that it really was crappy as far as texture was, but it was shiny, so I resanded it for about an hour and then started polishing it, Jonathan told me that using oil with my abrasive buffs would actually polish very well, so after about an hour and a half heres what I got so far..... and I'm not close to done yet... Finally I get some better pictures, I think I am figuring the camera out....
July 22, 200718 yr Author ok, well..... it is mirror Shiny, (I didnt beleive it was possible...) it looks like I chromed it, for this round of polishing I used Ryobi "4oz White Rouge Buffing Compound" HOLY CRAP.... It is almost like a wax, mabey it is a wax but I dont know, but take a look at this crap, I polised it for a little over an hour and look at what I have done.... the stuff you see in the back is the actual compound itself after it has been applied, It is extreemly difficult to remove but it was well worth it not to bad eh???? is anyone looking at this anymore................
July 22, 200718 yr oh man! now you make me want to go take my heads off and polish them more. mine would be 'lumpy' as you descrabe as they are. the oil idea is fantastic
