Another day, another time spent grinding, cutting, and well... making tons of dust. I altered the Lower Intake Manifold (LIM) to give more room for the turbo without sacrificing the 6PI actuation. I also ported my junk iron for practice. It's a lot easier than I thought it would be. I would still like some pointers on porting if anyone has any they'd like to share. I'm not too sure if I should port/polish the runner to the new port shape. The shape itself isn't much bigger and I don't really see any benefit in doing that.... Maybe on the intermediate housing, but we'll see. Well--here's some pictures.

Here's what the LIM started as:


Here's about half way through shaving it.

And this is pretty much done.

Here's my port job on the junk iron:

I didn't really have time to port the good irons so I prepped them for porting:

After that I went ahead and cut some of the metal stock I bought today to get it prepped and ready for welding and replacing the bent stock cross member:



The angle iron doesn't have any tape holding it up. The cut is just right enough to have the interference hold it up. It's also level and straight. It's ready for welding.
