hey whats up Honda-tech... as some of you know or dont im building my first turbo honda build... im not new to the turbo game just to the honda...
so far i got
84.5mm GE sleeved block
9.1 weiscos
crower rods
crower rod bolts
Arp head studs
Hondata s300
Hondata 4 bar map senser
AFI bottom mount manifold
3' downpipe
tial 44mm WG

Eldelbrock Victor X mani

Now im probably most likely going with a GT35R 82.
i know i still need lots and lots of parts.. but i want i really want to know do i really need to get my head ported and polished? Now jeff evans on his site swears by the rule of not porting and polishing unless you are going to have a horsepower goal of 800-900 hp.he says just a good valve job and a bowl blend will give you the most cfm gains.. im not going anywhere near that.. im looking to have somewhere in the 500-550... Now ive heard alot of people say the port and polishing is for mostly NA cars.. is that true? ... so basically i want to hear opinions and what you turbo guys think about this $hittt.. help me out... because PNP will save me some dough... but i not cheaping out.. just dont want to spend money on something unnecessary... thanks..

you don't even make sense.

for your horsepower goals you will not need a port job, you would be better off getting a set of skunk2 tuner 1 cams

I agree with earl you dont need to spend money in porting the head... I have a similar setup and I dont have a ported head. In talking with jeff he showed me setups similar to mine that did not have head work and made great power. Use that money on a good tune and make sure your fuel setup is capable of supporting your goals.

port it make the power easier.

yeah deff... i was most likely going with a dual walbro setup.. what you think? and what you running? whats the pros and cons of porting and polishing especially on FI??....

EARLdaSQUIRREL

dual walbro is not needed for 550whp

i have a portflow head, but it is not needed, but definetly does not hurt me in any way

but money with a setup like yours can be better spent elsewhere

Either get a good (expensive) port job or none at all IMO. Stock port head here @ 800whp.

My buddy had his head ported with ALaniz and his power goals are about 500-625 and using the 35R with .82ex

Porting N Polish is not necessary.

Haha this was a stupid comment!!!

Dont bother with the port and polish. like others said, your money is better spent elsewhere

DIY port job otherwise not worth it unless you are going for crazy power. LOL I ported my head and gained about 5whp. I didnt know what I was doing but the good thing is at least I didnt lose power. It was not worth my time!
