Update on port size
Just got off the phone with the machine shop. The ports are indeed 32mm. This is excellent news. The shop also agrees that this should be enough port to run the aforementioned pistons and cams. Sooo big sigh of relief here. My "cheap" engine is still somewhat cheap. Somehow I've gotten to nearly $1,600 in machining and custom work on this "bone stock" 2.4T rebuild. Oh what the hell...I'll be counting the days now till I can actually crank this engine.
John, tell us more about your database? What format is it in, what've you got in it, etc. Have you got it linked to any spreadsheets/calculations? Using your gas speed formula I have created my own little spreadsheet that has proven very useful for determining intake gas speed or backing into a required port size.
