Intake Manifold boring???? - Hyundai Performance Forums

I want to bore my manifold.

What kind of bit do I use?

Dremel or drill?

Dunno bro, if you're asking which tool to use I'm assuming that you're not too familiar with this task. Better to have a machine shop do the job, if you bore incorrectly and/or off-center you'll create vortices in the flow path and nuke performance into the ground.

All the best with your project!:rambo:

It's not difficult to do yourself. Check out this site. http://webhome.idirect.com/~trini/car/elantra.html Get a "Burr" like this set on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2508152935&category=12 578
Make sure you get allll of the shavings up. Use wax to keep the metal from sticking to the burr. A candle will do well for this. Take your time and make sure you get all the shavings. Should take less than an hour from hood up to hood down.

THanks for the reply

Do you know which of the burrs in the pic would work best?
