You'll probably have to ship the housings to get them ported, or do it yourself. You can get a template from Racing Beat, but then you'd have to do the exhaust ports too. There are several places that do porting, I'm not sure if or how many will port without building the engine though. Maybe all, maybe none.

I'm not sure of many shops in or around the Denver area that do high-end rebuilds and porting...

Like speedjunkie said you can buy porting templates from Racing Beat or Pineapple Racing has them, too. Be aware, however, you can serious mess up your housings and that can cost you some major cash.

Honestly if you've never done porting before leave it to the experts. Not only will it cost less than a set of new housing you might mess up, but the results will be much better in all likelihood as well.

You can ship your housings pretty cheaply (about $50 bucks) so I would look at doing that.

Contact Brian Cane Motorsports (BDC) http://bdc.cyberosity.com/main.php. Just look at his ports, they look like a 5-axis CNC machine did them!

Whatever you do, don't take it to Precision Import Repair. They may have improved since my car was there, but I honestly don't believe they're as knowledgeable about FDs (and maybe rotary engines in general?) as their reputation lets on. They totally hosed up my turbo controls, along with numerous other things.

I know a guy locally who will help you port it, he doesn't have a shop but he's done quite a few engines and is pretty good now. Might take a while though since he's really busy. I'll let him know you're interested.

Edit: I think ian might be talking about the same guy I am haha. Matt with the red FC?
