Postby Phoenixkp62 » Wed Jun 06, 2007 11:23 am

how do you tell if you have a Big port or a small port?

I'm running a Ae92 Trueno Apex, its running a redtop and i cant see anything that says TVIS, but i do know the engine was replaced before a bought it but not sure if they put a BIG port or a small port in her,

ideas would be good cheers? 8O

Intake manifold.

- If it has 8 runners going into the head, its TVIS.
- If it has 4 runners and ribs running across the top of the manifold its a smallport non tvis.

For me the oil drain is the easiest way to tell, smallports have an external oil drain on the back of the head.
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
