A little background, I have been a machinist for 9 years making anything from tractor parts to heart pumps. I do my work at the machine shop after hours, so it is top notch. I guarantee all of my work 100%.

Porting:

Turbo- Fix boost creep $35

Turbo- Full port $50

Exhaust manifold $60

O2 housing $50

Turbo, manifold and O2 for $140

Stage I head porting with valves out $80


I can also do custom machining, we have a lathe and mill with digital readout. I also have access to a 220v MIG welder and a plasma cutter. My shop charge is $18-$25/hr depending on the job (includes everything but metal). I can do anything from taking out broken bolts to doing one off custom machining.

I was wondering how long it would take this forum to be used. You should talk to awd1dr if you haven't already.

Do you have any examples of any "high end" machining that you've done on a mill that you could maybe post some pictures of?

i just found out a few bolts loosend up in my exhaust housing and decided to snap. was curious if you could drill and tap the housing and maybe do a flapper upgrade.

That would be no problem. Shoot me a PM and we can work out the details.

Great prices!

How about a billet 70 mm throttle body?

Sorry Steve, didn't see that post. We don't have a CNC at the moment, so that won't be possible.

I am looking into boring out stock throttle bodies to 64mm+. I don't know how big I can go. 66mm would be ideal for 2.5" IC piping. I will do a mock up in Solidworks and have it do all of the calculations for me. I hope to get to this some time in Dec.

Here is a pic of some porting I did for a member. It looks much better in person, but you get the idea. Sorry for the size!!

oooooh shiny :) Looks like good work JET!

on the right side you bored it out so much that the flange crack shows? is that sealed form the outside or....

What kind of time-frame are we looking at if I bring you a 20G? It is already partially ported so it just needs to basically be hogged out.

If you have looked at the inside of a mitsu turbo you will know that there is a step inside the inlet. That is just the remnants of the step. It is still over 3/8" thick there, so it is nowhere near coming out the side of the turbo.

Chris- If we set everything up I could have it done the same day. It would be the next evening at the latest.

I have an update with some more work that I have done. This is going on one of our members' car. It is a new aluminum intake manifold flange that I made. The rest of the manifold is being made by QPR.

Jet,

Can you do Tubular Exhuast manifolds?

I have an Archer SS that needs to be fixed. Raptor mentioned that the reason it cracks is because they used 2 different kinds of metal material and tried to weld them together? So basically what I would need would be a Head to manifold flange made and welded to the normal ss manifold tubes. Along with a flange to turbo.

The really big thing with the Archer ones was that the tubes are thin and they did not stress relieve them. Stress relief is a HUGE thing, especially on something like that. As far as I know, none of the mass manufacturers do that (SFP included). There probably is not a lot of hope for the Archer.

How much would this cost?


My stock throttle body is 52mm that necks to 48mm and the plate is 52mm. A lot of the neon guys have said that you can get the stock throttle body to 55mm with proper machining and a throttle plate. How much do you think it would cost to get it all bored to 55mm and a throttle plate that is 55mm diameter to fit in perfectly? Any possible amount? 25bux or so?

Archer has devised a way to fix their cracking manifolds. I have seen a few of the reworked ones and they add a nice brace. Brian, contact Jeremy at Archer and tell him your situation, he should be able to work something out with you.

It would probably cost at least $25 just for me to have the throttle plate made. It must be laser cut or water jetted. RRE charges $250. I want to look into it and see if I could do it for $150.

JET ported my 14b and it just ROCKS. 14b with a 3'' turbo back exhaust (with 3" O2 housing) and 0 creep. It used to creep to 23 psi by 4500 rpm. Stock flapper just a kick ass port job.
If you want it done right the first time give it to JET.
Thanks again
Joe

Sorry, but is stage I a 3-angle, or what? May be interested...

When someone says a 3 angle, that is the valve job. You can also get a 5 angle.

A level 1 port job cleans up all of the casting flaws, parting lines and smooths out the flow. I am not currently offering anything higher than a level 1 because I have not done the testing yet. I am doing a stage 3 head for myself that I will get before and after dyno results on. I would recommend the level 1 port job for someone between 350 whp - 450 whp.

Gotcha. Just saw valves mentioned and started thinking you were doing valve jobs... my bad.

Do you have a pic of any ported heads? I'm seriously considering it, and need to get it done soon. Doesn't require a whole lot of porting, but would definitely make a difference. Head is all disassembled and ready to go. Drop me a PM or something.

Here is a 14b that I did for a member. The wastegate outlet is also ported, but I couldn't get a decent pic of that. It is so damn shiny that I couldn't get the camera to focus on it decent! I took about 20 pictures and these are the best.

Not too shabby for $50, eh?

Another

Exhaust outlet

Bellmouth and polish of the compressor intake

Lastly the compressor outlet

:drool: Dude, you have outdone yourself!

That yours Austin?

Yes, that is Austin's 14b.

Here are some pic's of my head that I ported. It is pretty extreme on the exhaust side and there are about 15 hours of porting in the head.

Another view

It doesn't take much on the intake side, it is already pretty big.

hey so is that the stage 1 head porting you offer? if not, how much for that right there? also wondering if you had any pictures of any 2g exhaust mani's you've done. Lastly, what about notching a 4g63 block to accept a 2.4 crank? Thanx and nice work on Austins turbo man.

also wondering if you have any pics of exh mani's or O2 housings you've done. Those are what I'm gunna need done here soon, thanx.

I have an O2 housing I am going to be doing in the next couple of days, I will take a pic when I am done.

That head is a stage 3 or 4 head, there is 16 hours of port work into it. The pictures don't do it justice at all. The exhaust ports are about 50% bigger than stock. That would be $325. It is pretty extreme though, I can do something in the middle for $200 also.

Are you able to do full head rebuilds, similar to what Engintecs does out in Chicago: http://www.engintecs.com/html/dsm_heads.html ?

I don't do any of the machine work myself. You can take it to your machine shop, or I can take it to one. There are several good machine shops around.

Would it be an easy/cheap job to cut off my turbo flange and weld up a t3 flange? It's a quest manifold, trying to prep it for a 17c turbo (which would need a rebuild....you do them too?)
