How To Port A 392 Hemi Intake manifold

[@myfastcars]

Brother, You are amazing. I need to do this to my 2015 3.6 Durango. I have ported an LS Engine FAST 90 intake and had fablous results. I want to put my skills to work on this Dodge intake upper and lower intake manifold. THANK YOU for taking the time to post this work.

[@howlingstarx1]

I did my own manifold for my 3.6 Chrysler 200 everybody who hearse the car now keeps asking is that supercharged nope just in house ported I ported it then hand sanded it for 2 days to perfection i even did the throttle body just for the hell of it

[@Exertiions]

Nice! I will be doing this, instead of the dremel attachment I bought some hex grinding wheels and I’ll be using an extension on the impact driver to get deep in the ports. Hopefully everything works fine.

[@StevenKenniffALW]

I ported the heck out of mine last night. This video was very helpful in giving me the confidence in taking my manifold off. The 3" Sanding wheel was hard to find at Home Depot but MAN did it put in some work on the inlet. I couldn't imagine porting the inlet without that sanding wheel. I think somehow I managed to get what looked like twice as much material out of the inside of mine than what was on your bench. I was able to get deep in there with the sanding wheel to open up the intake.

[@scatspeed3114]

Budget Wargamer just be careful not to take too much out. It’s worth all the effort and good luck to you. I’m happy my videos helped you out.

[@gman4hire]

I've done this to cast iron cylinder heads and intake manifolds using only a dremel and tons of stones and sanding paper and polishing compounds. Took forever and then I ported and polished the intake and exhaust ports. All this on a 427 chevy for a customer, I have never wanted to do this again on another engine. But since it was 25 years ago I might just once more on my own ;)

[@scatspeed3114]

gman4hire its a lot of work but in my opinion it’s well worth it.

[@ripsrt6822]

Thanks for the sub👍 Great informative video! I'll be trying that out instead of spending $800 on an Edelbrock manifold.

Great video, humble, professional and informative. Thanks!

[@gearhead4005]

that's a shit load of work for 3 horsepower lol

[@Mrhandyhitman]

Yea but what happens when you stack it with tb and a tune and some long tubes? You’ll add 53 hp ;) lol

Bro i ported some dudes 6.1 intake he shaved a .85 of a second off his 0-60. 3 horsepower okay lol

[@undergod9586]

I was just saying the same thing😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️smh

[@jerrymossor288]

Nah, there are a couple of videos of guys with Dynos showing 15-25hp from just porting and some tuning helped.

How wide do i go on the porting. I want it to be the same size as the heads

[@danielkane7956]

Hey man great video! I was looking at doing mine I have on my car now, do you have a list of the sizes of the tools you used? I was wondering if you think it’s better to tackle it yourself or go through one of the companies to have it done?

[@VertYT]

bro u got link to the tools u use ?

How do you know how much to take off for the ports for the port matching

[@scatspeed3114]

I just uploaded a video on that

[@cosmo8465]

Thank you!!

How did you get the brake booster hose off I can’t get it off

[@scatspeed3114]

I twisted the hose with some adjustable pliers

[@victorxavier9977]

This video is great and I'm a mustang guy..Lol! Just curious what grit bits and paper you used on the plastic intake? Thx

[@scatspeed3114]

Victor Xavier sorry about late response. I used a combination of 80 and 120. And I applied low pressure on the tools when removing plastic. Low speeds are ideal too.

[@victorxavier9977]

Victor Xavier thank you I really appreciate it 👍

[@ksks6802]

Isn't a rougher surface in the intake translate into denser air? I wouldn't make it too smooth

[@corywalters5154]

what grit flap wheel did you use for the intake, i seen you say 3''

[@scatspeed3114]

180

[@KennyLauderdale]

What about cleaning it?

[@scatspeed3114]

Kenny Lauderdale a tub of hot water and degreaser.

[@jerrymossor288]

I ported my intake and was just about to ask about cleaning it after I blew it out. Thanks

[@f30josee70]

Where did you get the sand paper like that ?

[@travisd6585]

I'm curious about the longevity of the intake afterwards since your shaving material, unlike metal this plastic is notorious for cracking. Mine cracked on my 02 4.7L Ram.

[@scatspeed3114]

I guess it really depends on the heat cycles and how well the porting job is. Hopefully not too much plastic was removed on crucial areas.

[@braydonwoodcock2574]

My tuner recommended swapping to a 6.1 manifold if I wanted to port what do u think??

[@scatspeed3114]

Heat soak is a problem with the 6.1 intake manifold.

[@St.PierreProductions]

I know this video is super old, but did you by any chance get a check engine light after this? I just ported mine today, and have an engine light now

[@scatspeed3114]

Never got a check engine light. Even with a super aggressive port job.

[@St.PierreProductions]

[@ozarkhillsrt9610]

Where did you get the intake? Wanna put one on my 5.7

[@scatspeed3114]

I bought the intake manifold at a Mopar swap meet in Van Nuys. Spring Fling. You can find a good intake manifold on eBay. Retail from $200 and up.

[@goosegabbana2781]

Where are you located an how much would you charge me to port my 6.1 hemi

[@Iamkingmopar]

Thank you bro

[@Iamkingmopar]

How did you clean the inside of the manifold from sanded plastic ?

[@manuelvalle4305]

so you used 180 grit sand paper drums and 3inch flap wheel?

[@scatspeed3114]

For the most part. It’s very time consuming too.

[@SrtHemiPower]

What were the power gains

[@scatspeed3114]

Around seven

[@SrtHemiPower]

Scat Speed that’s it I figured it would be more

[@scatspeed3114]

SRT HEMI really depends on how bad the intake was to begin with. It could be more with a ported throttle body. You could see over ten extra horses.

[@jerrymossor288]

15-25hp search up the videos.

[@aaronferguson47]

What tools did you use and where can i find them also where can i measusing tool to measure if i reached 87mm inside my manifold for the throttle body

[@scatspeed3114]

Whoa Weezy I used a cordless drill on the opening for the throttle body opening. Sanding wheel and dremel you should be able to find then at a hardware store or a welding shop. Measure the throttle body on the inside with you Caliper. Off the top of my head I can’t remember what the size was on the throttle body but just make sure you bore it evenly to in the opening. I get back to you on the actual measurement. Take your time and don’t rush it.

[@aaronferguson47]

Thanks hoping to get this manifold soon if I wanted you to port it for me how much would you charge?

[@amadortorres2607]

Does this actually have a performance gain?

[@scatspeed3114]

yes

[@dodgeboy90501]

Nice job on the intake, what did you use to clean it out after porting. Thanks for the sub, will be doing an update sometime this weekend for some new mods I got.

[@scatspeed3114]

I got my 6.4 intake manifold brand new and I'm looking to port it what size sanding wheel did you use for the runner ports

[@scatspeed3114]

Whoa Weezy I used 3/8 sanding wheel on my dremel, and I used a 3/8 wooden dowl rod wrapped with sand paper to reach all the way into the runners.

[@BuilditRT]

Any idea how much more power you got out of it?

[@scatspeed3114]

Build it R/T modern muscle claims 10 percent improved air flow on their ported intakes. On a stock tune with out the ported throttle body... I’ll be conservative and say 5-7 hp. We’ won’t know for sure without Dyno time.

[@scatspeed3114]

Build it R/T I installed the intake today I definitely felt an increased of power. I was breaking them loose at 40 mph easily.

[@relaxingmusiczone1502]

About how long takes you to get this done ? How much will you charge for this job?

[@scatspeed3114]

It takes me three days to clean up the runners and a week to do a full port job.

[@eriv4735]

[@davesogn3329]

Does it really help that much

[@scatspeed3114]

Yeah it’s noticeable

[@davesogn3329]

Well how much did you end up porting the throttlebody

[@scatspeed3114]

The first one 86 and the second one 84

[@randyr77323]

I just got a 85mm throttle body for my 5.7. Would it be worth porting the runners and port matching the intake to the new tb?

[@scatspeed3114]

Yes because you will seen more of an improvement in HP. Worth the effort just be careful and don’t overdue it.

[@randyr77323]

Scat Speed I don’t have access to an unlocked pcm or a tuner. I’m worried about the car running too lean with a cold air intake, larger throttle body and ported intake manifold.

[@scatspeed3114]

Randy Rodriguez I asked Brian at Peitz performance the same question. He said they are both stock parts and you don’t need a tune. They’ve done it before. But you get more out of this set up if you get a proper tune. it’s okay to do it. Check out his KZbin channel if you have more detailed questions BMason is his channel.

Hey Scat, would this work on a 3.6 Pentastar intake manifold?

You can definitely use these techniques on that intake manifold too. By the way I remember MMX sold some that were ported too.

What grit did you use for the sanding?

[@scatspeed3114]

Cosmo 300-600

[@cosmo8465]

Thank you, I managed! I ended up using a honing tool for cylinder boring and used the dedicated grit stones. The tool was like 40 bucks and is spring loaded so sands evenly on all sides of the bore! Worked great

This is a hack job& not the right way. You're supposed to use dye on the manifold, install in car. The dye on the heads will then allow a port match when everything is correctly blended

It's literally taking material off to allow for more air flow, how is it not porting? You can do the same thing to a intake made of metal, which heat soaks even more than plastic. 🙄
