Intake only, Tom

Actually, it can get a bit confusing in that both the NA 6 port and turbo 4
port on causal examination of the intake manifolds both have four intake
runners.  However, at the block the secondary of the NA 6 port divides the
airflow for two secondary intake ports.  One is call the auxiliary secondary
port which has a rotating cylinder which either opens or closes the airflow
into the secondary auxiliary port - depending on engine operating
parameters.

Most people remove this rotating cylinder in the 6 port and smooth the
auxiliary port so that the airflow is not blocked at any time.

And,  is 4/6 the combined number of intake/exhaust ports or count of
intake
ports only??

Thanks
