F8L GT Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) This is the first spilt port swap for me. Little more involved than I originally thought. But, we are making way with it. Passenger head off Both heads off Split port heads cleaned and going on Split port manifold on Test fitting plenum. Modified split port fuel rail to work with return style fuel system Modified stock coolant tubes to with with the swap Few more odds and ends and its ready for [MENTION=20]Luis@OrtizPerformance[/MENTION] to work his magic Sent from my MILESTONE3 using Tapatalk 2 Edited October 22, 2013 by F8L GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttocs Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 well I am gonna sound stupid but I am what I am - what is a split port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmfateam Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 It's a dual intake track per cylinder. If you look at the pictures you can see one port per cylinder on the original heads, then on the new heads and manifold, there are two per cylinder.

F8L GT Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Yup, the 99-04 sixxers had 2 runners per cylinder(a short and a long) for better low end and high end torque. Even though I eliminated the imrc, the split port swap still boosts hp quite a bit over the old single port heads and intake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L GT Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Just need a long plenum bolt then the intake can get torqued down and the car fired up Sent from my MILESTONE3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F8L GT Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 After getting this thing running, it ran like shit. Ran like it had a huge vacuum leak. Aster running for sometime, noticed coolant leaking from the gurney of the drivers side head. While pulling the head off I found a bent push rod. So I think I find my issue with the shitty idle. When putting the head back on, noticed there's something keeping the head bolt from freely going all the way in. So I think I found where the coolant is coming from. I don't think the head bolt was torqued right because of this. Fingers crossedSent from my MILESTONE3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L GT Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Well car still ran like crap. did a compression check and number 4 cylinder had no compression. hooked up my leak down tester and found it was leaking from the intake valve. took the head back off and found the valve was bent at the head. come to find out the car these parts came off of snapped a number 3 connecting rod Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
