87creepin Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 I want to be an anyport barry, put me down as a 4A barry as I can confirm yesterday I put 3 kids and a mother in law in me 4AFE ae101 and the extra weight slowed things down considerably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajg193 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 I once swapped two spark leads on my fxgt, legit took me about 10 km of driving before I noticed. Other than that the second gen bigport went hard for what it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajg193 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Every time I got the speedo off the clock I'd have to back off pretty quickly as something would get very hot smelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Grumble Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 What's going on here then, you making a medium port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted March 28 Author Report Share Posted March 28 2nd pic is a smallport flange in front of it. So im gonna try my smallport manifolds on it with just the flange to adapt them. then will weld those bits to the flange so it fills in the dead space and try again. will use said results to decided how im going to modify the ports 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 are you fucking with the 2nd or 1st gen bigport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 There was a fella on Toyspeed who reduced the size of his smallport intake valves ... something something helmholtz. /ling Edit: intake ports, not valves. It was an interesting theory, but I think that in this situation the vessel (runner) length would be a better variable to play with, rather than restricting the intake to get the resonance you wanted. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may try the other head when take this one off engine to modify it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redmist or something similar? had that offroad race buggy? I tried the same way back. but likely made an abortion of it. just made it go worse haha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 15 hours ago, kpr said: Redmist That's the guy. He did a fair amount of R&D on the smallport in his buggy. I don't recall seeing any dyno numbers, but apparently it went hard for what it was. There's plenty of examples of race and rally cars that have had their ports reshaped using Devcon and other 2 part epoxy type stuff. A lot of the time people do this for flow direction (eg downporting to point directly at the valve)) as much as port size/shape. There's got to be a few rally Barries around NZ who have gooed up their bigports over the years... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
