porting

[dubber91]

right, i have an 13b engine now sitting in my garage awaiting rebuild...... An oil seal is suspect.
I figure whilst im there, its gotta get a port (rude not too), but i wanna keep it NA. Dont beleive in this forced induction cheating that so many seem to partake in these days.
IF its to be used on a street car, is it best to go for something like a extend port if i wish to do it myself? i understand the bridgeport needs a bit of machinework.....certainly work above and beyond me and a dremel! Whaere can i get the templates?
With this sort of a modification, do i need a mappable ECU? will the power gains be recogniseable on the standard ECU? What sort of power could i expect?
Also, where should i look for rebuild gaskets etc? as far as i am aware, compression is good.......its just an oil seal thats gone. Im just throwing ideas around at the moment and want some advice on it all so im not drifting way off target! Hurley seem to do rebuild kits for around the £140 mark...is this reasonable? i understand there has been some bad press about them.....

Cheers guys

There\'s also that magic button called \'SEARCH\'. This has come up more than a few times. And there is come good information here on this forum.

yes its a 6 port 13b.

As for the \'search\' button i tried it....but i didnt find any information on the fuel management requirements or much advice directly related to my case.
plus i had rebuild questions too.....

Sorry but i dont feel sarcasm was required. It was an honest request
