professional products intake

JBIGBOOTSY · June 20th, 2007, 05:32 PM

In past threads there has been a diffrence of opinion on if the Pro. Products Typhoon is is equal in casting to the performer. well I just got my Pro Prod. typhoon and I am PISSED OFF. I'm gonna have to put alot of time into it with the carbides and sanding bits. I'm just venting now but I'll post before and after pics when I get it done.

Maybe send it to extrude hone??
It isn't cheap, but the results are nice.

What was that one you did that nice port job on... stock?

jam77 · June 20th, 2007, 08:38 PM

i love mine, the casting is a little rough but what do you expect for the price? I smoothed mine out a little with my die grinder but overall extremely happy with the manifold.

whats it look like?

yea that was a stocker I followed the instructions on the T Moss site, I got the new one cause I didden't wanna have to grind any more

heres some pics of the pro product, the red ink is the outline for a fel pro 1250

TENGRAM · June 21st, 2007, 01:47 AM

yep that looks like it could use some cleaning up, but keep in mind:

somebody hacked the hell outta that

fogged306 · June 21st, 2007, 08:25 AM

Wow, like they say a picture is worth a 1000 words. I can see why you were pissed when you got it.

JBIGBOOTSY · June 21st, 2007, 10:36 AM

hand crafted by highly skilled chinese babies.

TurboLX · June 21st, 2007, 01:34 PM

that sucks, you should tell them to replace it or give your money back

NottyBoy93 · June 21st, 2007, 03:53 PM

That port looks rough for sure. Gaskets are horrible templates for matching. They actually make gasket match templates that will ensure accuracy if that is an interest.

JBIGBOOTSY · June 21st, 2007, 05:05 PM

I use a fel pro 1262 the 1250 is a good template for me. You guys with the gasket template comments are totally right, Its just my heads and intake are opened up to a 2"X1.2"(1250) and after the 1262 is torqued down its a good match, I know what I'm dooing, I promise.

Racinjason81 · June 21st, 2007, 09:28 PM

see you get what you pay for.you should of bought a Edelbrock Made in the USA.the chinese suck at copying ,if they were so good those ports wouldnt look that bad.I heard way back when these edelbrock copycats
were in need of porting to make them near comparable to the performer.
Have fun porting

Stangzilla · June 21st, 2007, 11:05 PM

I understand what you are saying but really what did you expect? Those intakes are like made in China or something.. right? Even if not its still a knock off design.. I have seen several products from that company and I would not give them a dime of my money.. Happy Porting...

Trade me your spider?

I just finished. It took about 4hrs.

Stangzilla · June 21st, 2007, 11:28 PM

Not a chance.. Nice job by the way but the only thing that concerns me is how much unneeded metal is deep in the ports where you cant reach.. What did you have on your car before and why did you go with the piece of china?

JBIGBOOTSY · June 21st, 2007, 11:55 PM

I have long shank carbide bits in all radai, for the deep stuff. long and short shank mandrels for sanding. I had a self ported stocker welded material onto the #1, #5 ports on the lower and straightened them out, cut the upper in half at the plenum and ported it welded back together. not worth the work!!! I have ported intakes for my buddies that turned out nice.

Stangzilla · June 22nd, 2007, 12:22 AM

Well I guess your sig says it all.. If nothin at all you get some porting practice. Sounds like you know what you are doing.. Best of luck to ya bro..

tording92lxnotch · June 22nd, 2007, 03:24 PM

Still, for the money with a little bit of grinder work you can't really beat the price. Are they really that bad that its worth to spend an extra $300 to get the acutal edelbrock version and then still maybe have to take a grinder to them to clean them up?
