Port and Polish?

[GoodDayForADrive]

Guy on vortex is selling "FS: port & polish 2.0, chrome, 4-1 exhaust manifold"
I'm assuming this is a port and polished manifold... Does that add hp? and if so, how much?

Bump, cause there are like 50 of the same thread in "Latest Threads"

port and polish gives more power, not sure how much!

[WishingForSpeed]

actually it adds quite a bit of power..let me research if someone doesn't let you know by the time i fond out I'll tell ya! :twisted:

[burn_your_money]

Doesn't it depend on how intesne the porting was?

[WishingForSpeed]

i dont know much about this, I just was told port and polish can give you some decent power!

After a fair bit of google searching I found this

hope it answers your question.

burn_your_money, you da man. :)

He said 35whp on a V6, which I highly doubt... he probably got 10-15 if that... A port and polish on a 4cylinder volkswagen would probably yield 8-10hp.... Not a bad investment since it doesnt make the motor work harder or hotter.

[GoodDayForADrive]

Interesting... I might just get it... But just about everywhere so far says get cams too... how hard are those to install?

[GoodDayForADrive]

Oh, and I found out is IS the exhaust manifold, heh. Some people say I w on't get power without other mods though? Is that true?

waste of time and money note you mentioned the polished 4 into 1 exhaust manifold.

you will yeld more power going with the updated 4 into 2 into 1 exhaust manifold off later model A2's and on all A3's with 2.0L (note the dual downpipe in the A3 is longer and will not fit in your A2) and with a techtonics dual downpipe you will yeild way more power than just that time wasted 4 into 1 manifold.

also headers is another option but they tend to crack after a few years of wear and tear.

[WishingForSpeed]

You might want to pass on buying that 2.0 man :roll:

[burn_your_money]

Yeah from what Dannie is saying that sounds like the thing to do (not buy it)

I don't have an A2...

[Mr_Diesel]

LOL, that changes things.

[Gotturbo]

Does anyone pay attention? This is posted in the A3 section! :lol:

[GoodDayForADrive]

Yea, I'm still up in the air about getting this thing...

nice..but from what I have gathered, you are buying a stock 2.0 with a chromed out header...am I wrong?

[GoodDayForADrive]

Just the exhaust manifold, that has been ported and polished.

[burn_your_money]

It's still a 4-1 though. I don't know but I would think you would get more power out of a 4-2-1 stock then a P and P 4-1.
