DIY Ported Eaton: Part 2

Here is the post of my first thread.

Well I took of the blower to open up the outlet a little more to get it to flow easier; to my surprise the welds on the main plate let go. The car only has 1000 kms (620 miles) with the new port and plate.

Not too big a deal the plate was still wedged in and I could take it back to the welders to seam weld all joints. However I had a bigger concern, the intercooler was extremely dirty underneath the plated area. (The intercooler was still clear under the port opening) I can only surmise that the air is circulating under the plate and deposits are accumulating.

Here is a shot of the intercooler after I cleaned it with a cloth and a toothbrush, still needs a little more work.

Here is a look at what my port will look like.

You can see the geometry of the stock port, shaded area is the current port.

I won't be installing a plate again, too much build up on the intercooler with only 620 miles.

Again, I will post up numbers after I get it tuned.

Hey try this also. The mounting flange for the IC is to large and you can cut it down some. The extra size is not needed at all and I'm sure it was there for tooling and assembly purposes.

Oh and good luck.

Cant wait to see these results.

Brian, are you sure that the bend on the I/C isn't there as a strengthening rib to reinforce the flange? To me, it looks like that is there to help keep the plate from warping when the bolts are torqued down, but I could be wrong...

kool

Nice, was thinking bout porting mine too.

Impressive....I love seeing these home port jobs. We definitely got some talented people on here.

Looks to just be something to make sure it's located correctly when it was assembled onto the engine. I didn't see how it was there for strength because it's out past everything in the air. That's mine there and it seems fine also as you can see it's out in the airflow so I cut it off lol.

Progress update.

looks great I can't wait to see the results also. Did you not cut off any material along side the silencer holes ? I may open up the tip of the new triangle you made. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think you can open it up more as long as it's not so much that the rotors can start pulling the compressed air back up. I opened mine up more than that but also filled the silencer holes. How's it comming with the blower inlet ?

here's mine

do you have a copy of this template (be it cad, jpg, etc)? or are you not letting others copy your design.

Looks awesome, thats the best looking homemade port ive seen. Kinda makes me want to take the blower off one weekend and have at it.

Looks good! I did not do the plate on mine either. good luck.

Just off the milling machine, this is the original blower from the car (11000 miles) and this is the one I will be installing.

I will open up the front hole on the other blower (the one that had the plate)like this one and probably sell it (20620 miles); bought to trial on just incase I screwed it up.

 

[Iron Fist]

Deburred, cleaned and starting to assemble, I hope it performs as good as it looks.

 

[Iron Fist]

Well got the car tuned today, bad news is the clutch was slipping during the dyno test; I guess the open track event I went to took its toll on the stock clutch; car made 487HP and 537TQ on a Mustang dyno not bad numbers I guess but I still don't know what the actual numbers are.

I'm going to finish up the other blower and sell it to help pay for a new clutch, going to go with a Spec twin disc.

 

[Posi]

^Congratulations and obviously it worked. Sorry I haven't seen any of the updates. Let us know what the final numbers are after a new clutch. Also what pulley combo are you running?

You're runnng your ported throttle body and plenum correct?

 

[Iron Fist]

Yep, running the same throttle body and plenum; only thing that has changed is the new port design and no inner plate. Pulley combo is 2.90/4lb same as before.

And thanks.

Hey you know what you type we all can see. I resent that!oke::lol:

Good luck and one more design that's different. Now that's cool.:beer:

Did you keep the distance from the silencer holes to the edge of the port the same for both sets. As in the front and back the same measurement of wall thickness?
