Renesis Bridge Port

After WAY too much time wasted in completing this project, it's finally going to be in the car in the next 3-4 weeks. I'm hoping to assemble the engine by next week, but i have the weekend with my daughter next weekend, so the swap would be the following weekend at the earliest. Depends on how fast we can get the base maps back so the thing will attempt to run right.

Front cover is painted. Just have to finish painting the rest of the motor over the next couple days, and it'll be ready to assemble.

I'll post some more pics when I get home.


The actual port work:

Just a question for you, why is the exh port shape look funny? The outside upper edge of the port curves in instead of keeping with the original port shape. I see "BDC" did this for you, what were your goals for the car?

I'd be happy with 300~350 to the wheels once I go FI at some point. This was more of a guinea pig project for bridge porting the Renesis.

There's a lot of debate weather it will have any noticeable impact on the engines performance... we'll see in about a month... lol

I'll dyno it once it's broken in. We'll have a better idea of what's realistic once I get there.

Awesome. I was wondering when I'd start seeing port work done on the Renesis. Maybe you're not the first, but you're the first I've seen haha. I'm eager to see the results.
