I want to port match my b16 manifold to my head because i heard it can get you 8 pony's but how do i do this? and is there any way to mess up the intake manifold? I spent 80 on it so I dont feel like buying a nother one.

Rotary air grinder and bits. You could use a dremel too if you dont have air.

Dont expect much of anything by porting the runners on a stock head.

I heard that the B16 manifold is easy to mess up when trying to port it or polish it??

if you already got the boost, you might as well turn up the boost 1 or 2 lbs instead of spending the whole day grinding ur manifold for 8 hp.

but if u spend a day grinding the head and then when ur done turn the boost 1 or 2 lbs and BAMM a whopping 16 hp :P

I remember some pictures somewhere on this site (probably the main site, not the forum) of jeff port matching his ----.

I have ported/polished/de-burred aluminum heads in the past, the gains aren't really noticable (not like say ripping out the cat or CAI).

A die grinder is the preferred way, but a dremel will work. Working with cast iron is a mother ******, aluminum is a lot more forgiving to your stress levels.

ripping the cat out doent really give that much HP back same with a CAI. turbo is hte only way to go lol

Here is a link to one of our old tech pages on port-matching. The background image is gone, so it makes the yellow text hard to read, but the info should be easy enough to follow.

And "NO" we do not sell port-matched manifolds anymore.
