how much gain is there from porting out a stock intake on a 96 eagle talon ESI (2.0L DOHC non-turbo)?

what do you want to port on the intake side? the manifold? you could get about 8hp from it. the actual intake pipe? well then you would be a pioneer, i dont think its even possible to port those... that just doesnt make sense to port that. but if you wanna port the head, you could get up to 40hp, but thats really pushing it.
 
That's cool, i'm still new to this dsm stuff and really to this kinda stuff. I'm use to working on mustangs, camaros and such and you can just about port anything on them and gain. I'd like too see how much power i could make before i add a turbo.

yes, with an NT there isnt much room for power gains before you do something forced induction, whether that be turbo or spray. i have been tettering back and fowarth of whether to turbo or spray, and i think ive finally decided to spray now and turbo after i rebuild (but this decision seems to change with the tides)
 
well first, fill out your profile, it will help guys help you, and second, if you wanna see some decent gains and your still stock, some things to do are CAI, UDP, and cat back exaust. if you really gonna turbo in the near future, then save you money, and just get a K&N filter to put on the end of your stock intake instead of buying a CAI, cause you cant use it once you go turbo.
