why not just get it port matched? or just call the guys at Skunk2?

 

i have emailed them and asked them, waiting on the answer but thanks, just asked this question to guys who have done something like this to see if it leaked or not ...

 

no vac leak but it will run like do do

 

why will it run like doo doo??? can u explain

 

It wont leak and it will run fine BUT you wont be getting the full potential of the TB I would just take it to a shop and have it port matched or sell it to me

 

lol im sure it will work, i did enough research. that lil diff isnt going to hurt me or not get full effect. everything lines up and its off like 2mm if that. bc the sk2 manifold is 60mm AND THIS TB is 62mm

 

Get it port matched...Why spend all that money on that **** and not get the full potential out of them?

 

let us know how it runs with out port matching it ok

 

ok will do. thanks everyone.

 

just port match it use a dremel if you dont have access to a die grinder

 

is it easy to port match? i have a die grinder, but is it hard to get it perfect round to match? and not make it oval u know what im saying or it doesnt mater long as i try my hardest to just make it match up close enough??

 

DIY...even if it isnt perfect, Its better than what you have now. Make it as smooth as you can. Put on a Stock TB if you are going to leave that manifold like that.

do it before you bolt it up, because then you might get too lazy.

come on superhatch, come on!

 

lol ya ill get to it. just making sure of everything befor i go and do something like that so i dont ruin it.

 

i went pretty close to the iacv and broke throught, im going to jb weld the lil hair crack as soon as i get the new gasket and see how it lines up. but below are some pictures i snaped for ya's.










* we still have to clean out the metal shaving in the i/m. we used the used S2 i/m to try our first port out job and learn, for future reference. the new s2 i/m im going to be using a 62mm oem type r throttle body. if anyone has anymore Questions feel free to hit me up.

 

nice job at least u didnt do it half ***

 

thanks. i try not to do anything half ***. i try my best at any DIY things
