Extrude Hone Locations L.I?

UNISH25 · Jul 18th, 2003, 03:58 PM

I was wondering does anyone know of any places in Longisland, N.Y that does an extrude honing for the GA16DE? Also if there isn't any place on L.I ?

That is the only place I read about in all the magazines. Lisa Kubo used to advertise them alot.

I was looking too. I was told that they have a patent on the process and you can only get it done there. I don't know if this is true or not.

Well I know the process and the machinery are not lightweight. They are expensive. Plus I have never heard "HKS extrude honed their intake in house"

Thanks so much for the information guys. I figured that extrusion honing was just like getting a valve job done. That it just requires the good human skills and the machines to do it!
Well, I guess I'll be giving extrude hone a call then. Thanks for the help!

I wanted to get my old engine's head extrude honed.

You have to send the parts to them.

Then they have a machine that presses a paste thru the parts. The paste has different levels of grit. Each pass polishes your parts internally.

It removes burrs and imperfections.

They said on the website it took 8-6 weeks. Is this true? Also how much did it run you around?

mike k did this on his project 200sx se-r car in scc. he did only the intake manifold i believe, the results were about a 2hp increase. it cost like $400 to do. i don't think it's worth it imo...

2hp??? Are you sure? Those graphs look a lot more than 2hp!

WTF...it looks more like a 30hp gain at top end
or am I missing something else?

Mike did extrude hone a lowport sr20de intake manifold on a 200sx Se-r. There will be differences with different manifolds. He said that extrude hone on a highport intake manifold would show more gains. Of course there is probably a big difference between an sr20de and a ga16. It is kinda costly, $395. But when you have all the bolt-ons and cams etc. It sounds like extrude honing is the next cheap(?) upgrade.

Well all I know is that...Graphs cannot lie!
So when I took a look at Mikes extrusion honing graph. It seems to me that its a good bang for the buck for our Ga16's

So I was wondering. Is this true or am I missing out on something here? Is there something to that extrusion honing graph that I should be aware of?

All we engineers see are numbers and graphs...maybe thats why I'm kind of an idiot at this! Hmmm.....

BORNGEARHEAD · Jul 26th, 2003, 11:26 PM

^^^I agree with you. That graph shows a huge gain. I say go for it.

UNISH25 · Jul 26th, 2003, 11:58 PM

Yeah...I am defenitly going for it! I am just curious now...what if project 200sx had extrude honing done on it...
