2COOL and MiniPilo,

do you have an update on the SC tweaking?
I have a spare SC that I am considering to get done.
I talked to Endyn after I was unable to get infos from their forum and the price went up quite a bit from the 800$.
The quote I got was 1450$.

Alex

at the time I did it, 800 was for the blower alone (which is what I had done); they add on to $ do the runners and intake manifold, based on their usual Honda diet.

I just won a takeoff blower on Ebay, and intend to disassemble it and port the intake section as well as the exhaust port on its base. I also intend to fill the two side holes outside the main port on the base. These smaller ports are there solely for noise control, and cause a slight loss in boost. I like the blower noise, I like boost, so I am going to terminate their purpose. I also intend to port match the intake tube to match the blower port, and smooth it internally.

So, if anyone has done anything like this, let me know. I appreciate any input. I have a background in this type of mod from my '02 Lightning, and the M112 Eaton on it. The side port filling and intake/exhaust porting on the larger blowers leads to gains of 7.5-10% in wheel horsepower, with increased efficiency and boost levels with no change to pulleys. I am curious as to whether our smaller blowers will show like gains. Below is a pic of what I am talking about:

I too have thought about this, as I've also got a '99 Lightning with a Apten ported blower. And the differance was amaiseing; especially since it can be done for around $400! I would recomind that you try to contact Apten and see what they might be able to do with the Eaton M45!
