Custom ported inlets on ebay

[Jesster]

Just wondered what your thoughts are on these? The ones that come with the 64-65mm throttle body and has had porting done on the inlets and look all nice powder coated.. Ones I'm looking at is over £300

is it worth the money or do they make no difference? This is for my 182 cup as well if that's any help

thanks

 

[Mr R.]

Tb makes no difference.
Ive just had the one's on my ph1 done because the ph1 inlets have small port's.

Andrew ALD is doing mine along with porting ny head.

I don't think you'd feel any gains but if you're feeling flush I can't see there being a downside.

I don't think the throttle body itself is all that restrictive I think £300 could be focused elsewhere which would make real world difference.

 

[Jesster]

I thought it would be a shamble! What are the RS ones like over standard are they any good?

Slightly larger ports I believe.

 

[Jesster]

And yeah I guess a half decent remap would be about that sort of price isn't it? I was thinking of getting another exhaust but I just found out one I have on is a custom meerkat one so just looking about what other goodies are worth buying

thanks

 

[Mr R.]

Its only the lower that's stamp RS and the ports are larger.

I bought a RS lower and got Andrew to port it some more to match the head.

On mine I did notice a difference but as I said the Ph1 172 dose have very small port's as standard.

 

[Jesster]

Ok that's handy to know, I guess it would hardly be worth the while unless I had a phase 1 and the ports are slightly smaller as you say.

Thanks for your help, see your from Essex phase1sr ? Where abouts? I'm in great dunmow Essex near stansted airport.

I looked into the bigger throttle body and found out test have been done with no gains to be had..

Inlet manifold have been tested and you do get a small gain but for £300 ints not worth it, I can port a inlet for half that but you won't get it back powder coated.

May have a slight effect on a boosted car

Yours should have a RS stamped one anyway.

Remap (by somebody decent!) is the best thing. Otherwise its cams really.

You a flow bench to test them on?

 

[spooner82]

i have a phase 1 with a ph2 inlet, would buying a ported top and bottom see me much difference to what i have now?

 

[ALD]

It would respond better. People say they work well.

Would you do them on an exchange basis?

 

[ALD]

Sorry Stevo I don't do exchange.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

No worries.
