Ok I am dropping a 6 port s5 engine in my fb. I was told to block off the 5th and 6th ports. They guy at racing beat said if I do I will loose horse power. How should I run this set up? Will I be able to run the 5th and 6th ports in my fb? HEELLPPP I need to know A.S.A.P!!!

Don't block them off, you're better off wiring them open. You may be able to get them to work properly, but in the mean time, or if you can't get it to work, just wire them open (as opposed to blocking them off).

What intake and exhaust manifolds are you mating to the engine?

For intake I have an upper racing beat mani with a dellorto 48 DHLA sidedraft. Havent yet decided if I am going turbo or not.

If you're doing a lot of city driving leave them closed. A lot of highway driving, open them up.

You can electronically open them. Do a search and you'll find a few writeups.

Ok. I was told to take the sleeves out, then I was told to block them. I plan on driving in traffic from time to time but then bringing it to the track maybe once or twice a month. Any suggestions on what I should do?

they are cylendrical looking and they are hallow. i have some. just yank the sleeves out and well.... you dont need sleeves.

southernrunner

Man I think they were aleady removed.

hey can you get the sleeves out (i have an s4) without removing the manifolds? do i have to take the actuators off?

and ya, if youre doing city driving, get those working properly. even if youre going to take it o the track, you can adjust the timing of the aux ports and vdi. i think theres even a thread on how to do it wthout buying an expensive computer

No. The entire intake manifold has to come off to get the sleeves out.
