hope this helps.

 

i personally have NO idea what a 'port' is or if it even exists on a car. maybe the head was ported and polished? but it wouldn't THROW you into your seat or anything.

did it kick u in the face?

 

Porting is basically just taking the head of your motor and grinding down the intake and exhaust ports into a more agressive, or efficient way. it's done by sharpening the dividers and making the hole bigger to accomodate more flow. Polishing is smoothing the ported job so the flow is much smoother, thus reducing drag and turbulence.

you're welcome

 

do you thibk i should do it? or just swap the engine. lookin to go c5

 

IMO its not worth it if you don't do any other work internally. what type of power are you looking for? do you have a b18b1? if you do, I suggest LS turbo, it's fun as **** and reliable if done right

 

what type of internals do you suggest?

 

Welcome to honda tech, as you see usually it takes 10 or so sarcastic answers/flames for someone to actually answer your question you'll get use to it

do you have an LS? if so I don't suggest any internals. slap a turbo kit on and have fun. i've been in one FULLY BUILT ls before and it was kind of quick, but it was no where near as quick as my boosted teg, plus it rode pretty choppy because of the "lopey" idle..
