what bits do u guys use im using a dremel but i got like half of 1 side done and the bit is dead and at 7 bucks a bit wht works best
I used this one. Used a sawzall to cut the larger portions then cleaned up with this. Also used a grinder for the H bar.
144 High Speed Cutter / Model: 144
I took a good bit of metal off with it and you can't even tell it's been used.
It's a carbide bit
I used a regular old router and regular old router bits meant for wood to do the one I posted... If someone were to make a jig for a router one could pump out a bunch of them like that. I just started at the highest point then went down about the thickness of a dime with each pass, the I 45ed the outlet port. Whenever I quit being lazy and do my gen V i'm gonna weld the silencer ports and then router it so you can never tell they were there like one in a previous post. And I don't care whether welding them will gain or loose me maybe 5hp to the wheels, I want the whine even louder!
just a tip. My buddy and I have a bunch of gen3s laying around and we sealed up the silencer ports on one. ran a 3.0 pulley(camd/ic/etc..) and it was actually quieter. the M112 has 4 ports. Im the kind of person that has to see/hear it to believe it.
look how they port a m112- insane!
if a ported blower is worth 20 WHP on a 540 WHP car.
Thats 9 WHP on a 240 WHP car.
So its not cost effective, paying for a port.
Just saying...
A guy here said he would do porting for less than $100, idk what kind of work he does but his gtp runs just fine. So idk for 9hp to the wheels on a stock car its not so bad.
You could try and send Nate from Smoothflow a E-mail. He is the one that did mine and it was the first one he had ever done. Don't know if he wants to do more or deal with shipping but people could give it a shot.
Lightning Superchargers...lol
I think the reason they see more substaintial gains than we do is the fact they have SO much to improve on; being the GenIII or GenV blowers we have...there really isn't THAT much more room...
I'd love to see a supercharger bench dyno of ZZP's $500 port, a DIY job with a dremel...and a Steig style port...just to see.
To Benner. That's the blower that should be on the car now. The pics I posted were the first or so of the ones that DOHCZ34 did in Minnesota on my Lumina. The car I bought had the same blower inlet/outlet ported the same so if/when I pull the blower it should look like that.
Here is mine. Ported to 78mm on the inlet side and then the typical V Shape outlet. Home ported lower intake manifold and painted water outlet.
