what is egr porting? does grounding my engine better work? if so how do i do it myself?
please post any other low budget mods that will help performance, thanks

 

egr port/passage CLEANING is a DIY we need to keep that system operating

Intake port opening to gasket size matching- can be done by a shop or at home if good with a dremel- that opens up and smooths airflow into the manifold
One company here offers new manifolds that are ported on their special machine for max precision and power

Grounding is to add more ground straps from points on the engine to a central point or just to a good ground on frame for each wire

you can always google basic parts questions like this too

 

the extra ground straps improve signal stabilty from sensors to the ECU, so the car does run slightly better
you can DIY a set easily, doesnt need to be thick wire--see parts stores for metal strip ones from exhaust manifold bolt to ground point as examples

 

how do i know the point of reference on a motor where i ground wire at? cause i want to do this myself

 

use the link I posted above to the diy list
read the one about grounding kits

look up ads on the internet for them, or our vendors ads in the sponsored sales link also provided above!
- see pics there of installation

You can use a small metal plate bolted to the frame rail and run all the wires to it.
Or you can run each wire to the frame by itself,,depends on how much room you have to work
a wire from alt, ps and engine should go to the extra ground--those help the most
Do not go in series with the grounds,,go from part to ground, not part to part to part-- to ground
one threads post has it all going together and finally to battery ground--NO!!
doesnt work right that way.need seperate ground system -from the battery

 

thanks alot that was helpful but what is the "ps" when you mentioned the alt, ps , engine>?

 

PS= Power Steering pump
Alt =alternator--
batt= battery--
engine= exhaust bolt -to ground

 

thanks man
