Supporting mods for Ported Blower?

[CobraOnTheLoose]

I guess I'm on a question spree...but would I need to get the MAFia and BAP after I finish porting my blower in order to keep it safe? OR would a good tuner be able to tune the car for the increased airflow with stock MAF and fuel rate? Money is tight but I am planning on porting my blower this weekend and then getting it tuned this coming week. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

According to the guys at Steigemeier, no fuel upgrades are needed, even with a stage 5 port.

Even with a pulley? You may have seen my threads recently but mine went boom with a stage IV port and 2.76 pulley. I have no real evidence to say what exactly made the cylinder 4 piston damage itself.
Machine shop tells me cylinder #4 was .001 smaller than factory spec not allowing the piston to expand where as the other 7 cylinders where not.

Most people tell me it's all in the tune and that my car should never have let go. Others say maybe I pegged the mass air meter (it was a 38F night when I broke it). Either way what ever it was a mass air flow extender and boost a pump seems like cheap insurance against a massive problem. I'll be adding both of those and getting a new tune from somewhere before driving my new motor (work in progress).

I've seen guys run out of fuel with a ported blower. You have to remember every car is different. You will probably want a MAF, and a BAP. Sometimes in the rare case a car will need bigger injectors. Nothing sucks worse than being on a dyno with either a pegged MAF or running out of fuel.

Alot of guys get their supporting mods such as MAF, BAP (or twin pumps), and injectors when they get a ported blower, that way everything is there when they inevitably pull it off and go twin screw because they need more power!:rockon:

Dang...this is costing me a good bit, lol. Anyone know where I can get a good deal on a MAFia and a BAP?

 

[SLEEPERSTATUS]

for those id get them from lethal performance

 

[CobraOnTheLoose]

Thats where I was going to get them from. How fast is their shipping? Florida to SC shouldnt take too long.

They sell BAP's? I cant seem to find them from Lethal.

No, but this weekend I'm going to "Home-Port" my blower and then this coming week get it tuned and wanted to get the supporting mods for the tune in order for it to be safe.

how much boost do you plan on running with the ported blower?

 

[SLEEPERSTATUS]

so have you ever experienced with doing some porting?

 

[CobraOnTheLoose]

Nope...no experience but Posi is helping me out a lot.


As for boost I have a 2.8 Upper until I get the cash, then I am planning on a 4# lower.

Correct. Does Lethal Performance sell BAP's?

 

[unforgiven]

Not to hijack, but with a stock lower and 2.93 upper, I would need MAF and BAP with a ported blower.

Car is tuned and lays down 453/464

i guess not....here ya go
Kenne Bell Boost A Pump [BAP40amp] - $248.00 : Lightning Force Performance

 

[CobraOnTheLoose]

Damn thats an expensive mod. Should I get the Head Cooling Mod instead of one of these? Cause money is kind of an object right now until I can get a job.

 

[speeddemon2000]

When I did my port the tune was still on. The A/F was still around 11.5 on my wideband. The only fuel mod I had was a Boost-a-pump. I did re-tune with a Mafia but i don't think it was needed.

 

[twhitey]

you could try just a wire upgrade for the pumps or buy a used bap. Is your car already tuned for the 2.93?
