SiR Power

I'm considering doing a port'n polish and was wondering how much horsepower/torque I would get by doing this? I also need some clarification for pricing. When it say's $650 for a 4-cylinder/4-valve, does that mean $650 for each cylinder or for all 4. Thanks for any help

Basic bolt-on's.

port and polish is usually one of finishing touches.........after your done with bolt ons.....internals, etc.

SiR Power

So how much extra hp/torque would I get roughly?

BB1_EG6

you know what BRO.......dont tell me I dont know what Im talking about, P&P would be a WASTE IMO, if you had just a STOCK motor.

To be honest for $600 to $800 why not get a NOS kit installed. If your looking for CHEAP power nothing beats it. Just make sure to have a trusty guy install it for ya and youll be WAY better off than a P&P.

But of course this B16bCivic guy is gonna SAY go P&P **** dude check his SIG....hahaha.....seems like he is tied into L&B

on a side note to this P&P if you are gonna do it.....PM and I'll let u know where to get the same job done CHEAPER and Better. WHAT DID BIGGY SAY YEARS AGO......MO MONEY MO PROBLEMS........


CHEERS YA RICERS/.......


see ya at the TRACK.....

I hope that was a joke. P&P is truly one of the things where you get what you pay for. The top shops charge top money for a reason.

One of the biggest advantages to having your engine work done at a top machine shop, such as Leitner Performance , is that they have all the necessary equipment to have it done right. Also experience counts. And LP has spare heads in stock, so that's less down time for the customer. You can boot around town while a second head is being worked on. Once it's ready, it's just a matter of trading in your stock core plus cash for the finished head. And you're good to go.

What would normally be 1 week of downtime for one shop would be shrunk to 1 or 2 days at Leitner Performance. I dunno about anyone else here, but i can't go without my car for more than a day.

FWIW, here are what a few of the top U.S. shops charge for street-type headwork (non-race):

Portflow - $900US
Alaniz Technologies - $675US and up
DPR - $790US

I found that a Port and Polish job has more hp gains on a N/A moter then FI.

Most fi moters only saw roughly 5 WHP gains on dyno and paid around a 1000 for the work. Apparenty there are better gains if upgrading to larger valves. Honda did a dam good job when they made cylinder heads, so its hard to squeeze alot more air flow in and out.

NA moters saw more gains from PP jobs.

Some good food for thought.

Also use google search for dyno graphs of your moter and mods. Many people are doing the same thing, but posting there dynos on the net. I compared many dynos of my moter with many mods and all different work, then compared money with HP gains.

Muhahaha good point bro, well when there is another shop in the T.O. area that does the same work as L&B cheaper why not, right

But im sure L&B will do the job great and you'll be happy with the extra power. I have had a P&P on my BB1 and the power gained was sweet, it wasnt however neck snaping which u would hope it would be for around 7 bills.

What are you wanting with the car..? What are your goals, start telling me this type of info and i can help you out alittle better.

If all your into is beating the next car at the lights or at the Drag strip then I highly suggest you look into a NOS set up. There are many kits out there that when setup and tuned correctly will give your that "Neck snaping" power unlike that $700 P&P.

If your a lapping nut and want that smooth N/a setup with a Superlight flywheel, B&B bottom end, P&P head with Nutz stage 3 cams (with little or no power below 4000rpm). Be ready to fork out alot of CASH and still not have that huge power quite like a Turbo setup can.

I say GET THE NAAAAAAAAWWWZZZZZZZZ

its the BEST BANG FOR BUCK

ryuujin

do you know that the NAAAAAAWZZZZZZZZZZ you speak of is quickly becoming an illegal modification

Cops do know what naaaaaaaaaaaawwwzzz is and it won't be very nice when they open his hood and see these sprayers plugged into his intake

But you're right, the power is cheap and fast....can't doubt that

Ya, that's why the ITR motor is HAND PORTED BY HONDA ENGINEERS, as are CTR AND NSX motors.

I can't believe what I just read
