Relentless V3 porting?

[QuestMS]

Hi all

i have seen a few posts saying the relentless v3 needs a light porting, where exactly needs opening out? Collector or ports end? Lay the gasket over the ports and trim so they match?

Cheers in advance

Did you buy yours from Sam? Ones brought from Sam are now ported I believe

I got mine brand new second hand from a guy local to me, I have to swap my turbo over soon so will whip the mani off at the same time and check everything before the re fit. Was it the cylinder head side that needed opening out?

Yeah the runner ports need a good porting

Post a pic and we can tell you if it's been fettled.

Cheers bud, I will when it's been removed. Should be pretty obvious if the ports don't line up to gasket though

I will do it if needed?

Cheers for the offer bud but I have a mill at work failing that some decent carbide burrs and careful attention with the die grinder lol

Best thing to do is place an old gasket over the manifold and you will see where it needs doing..

The gasket ports are much bigger than the port in the head so you will be ok, if its been on the car you will see a soot line
