ponder this for a moment, fit the throttle body from the 3.2tl to a civic type r intake manifold...the 3.2 throttle body is 80mm...that will help the engine breathe, no?
First off, P&P is an essential in building a strong motor. However, if someone ported out a head like you recommend, you would lose so much flow it wouldn't even be funny.
If your buddy wants to join and add some commentary, he can go ahead.
An 80mm throttle body would almost certainly lose you area under the horsepower curve, though you
may see some slight top end improvement on a really peaky built motor. That is like running dual 3" exhausts on a B series engine. It has the potential to flow more, but the bottom line is that intake and exhaust flow rely heavily on gas
velocity in addition to flow.
Additionally, I still have seen no
proof,
information, or even an
anecdote on why all of the products you are repeatedly telling us are crap are indeed what you say they are. So come on, if you are going to make a statement, prove it.
Give us information on how hogging out ports will increase flow. Flow bench charts would be nice.
Do the same with 5 and 7 angle cuts.
As for what you and your friend have done, I really don't care. You can make a car very fast without having an inkling of a clue about what you are doing.
