i would also like to know...think this would increase some #'s on turbocharged tcs?

 

Em... back from the dead? This this worked?

 

I sent an e-mail to Kevin (blackdiamondrnc). I'll post an update if I hear anything from him.

 

thanks dude.

 

I got a reply from Kevin:
Is there no one near simi valley that could go to his shop?

 

Dang! I wish someone went.

 

what about ITBs?

 

MotorFX I think tried to do some, but the project was somewhat difficult and not cost effective I think.

 

Nobody has any interest in this??

 

If I lived there of course I would go. BUMP!!

 

As would I, if only out of curiousity. I would have thought someone would have liked this mod with the new IM that came out, especially this FI guys.

 

But since this is in Drivetrain, maybe he should post this in F/I.

 

how long does the process take to do?

 

it will take somewhere between 1 and 3 hrs to do the first install

 

what can be the pro and cons of the installation process and also in having the TB

 

Pros: More air could enter the cylinder chamber thus making the ECU throw more fuel, thus making more power.

Cons: If the throttle body doesn't align perfectly to the Intake Manifold, it could actually lower power gains by contricting airflow.

U would really like to see this in the action. It could help a lot of us here in the forum.

 

do you still need a tc ,i live in LA isn't semi vally be griffith park?

 

cmcpride, I passed along your interest to Kevin. Should hear back from him shortly. Finally we have a taker.

 

I just pm'ed "black" letting him know that I am down for testing whenever he has time. So hopefully he will respond and I can post some numbers up here for you guys... With my CAI I expect good things... Exhaust will come later when funds are available...

 

You should shoot him an e-mail too. Might be more likely to see that first.
