T Rex Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 http://www.extrudehone.com/automotiveaftr.html If I am correct they did work on the Contour SVT (v6 24v duratech? engine). I was thinking about getting that done to my cylinder heads, intake manifold, turbo manifold and finally (once I get all this money that I dont have) custom stainless steel exhaust. I was just wondering if anybody has heard anything about them. The extent of my knowledge comes from reading about the Contour SVT. Anyway, any help is awesome! thanks.

Guest WizardBlackWRX Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 There are cheaper mods to be done to make power with your car first. Intake Manifold: $585 Heads: $700 Exhaust Manifold: $500 They do great work but they are pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 I read a review that said all the gains people got off the SVT was from having the dirt removed. The guy cleaned an intake, didnt take any material out, and got just as much power. I'm porting an intake right now, and I beleive there are significant gains to be made just cleaning. That EGR puts some nasty shit in there. I used to be curious about it myself, but then I saw how much it cost. Thats alot of money for some guy pushing a button.

SupraGlue Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 You'll get better bang for the buck if you find an experienced head porter. Human mind + die grinder can equal some pretty good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20G TSi Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 extrudehone is awesome. Its cheap, too. I'm cutting (die grinder/carbide bit) on an exh housing for my turbo now and plan to send it off for a hone as soon as I'm done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 To me, if you look at one that has been done, you would be better off with port work from someone. Click me! Click me! Eli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 nifty stuff, but that is a little expensive. Mybe if i already had the good parts and wanted to do a little extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 extrude honing works good but you should get a good port job done first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
