Sweet Kevin thanks

 

Any gains to speak of for an na car or is it just usefull for F/I ?

 

All TCs will notice much faster throttle response. We did not dyno it.

 

Is the RX-8 unit less prone to delay? Or is this due to the larger size of the TB?

 

I would say that it's because the larget Inlet of the TB that it may be less prone to a delay.

 

watching

 

The improved response is due to the larger bore of the throttle body(70mm vs. 55mm).

 

Maybe we will have to bore the IM to get the advantage on the new TB.

 

big bore tb + aftermarket im, + i/h/e = mucho power

 

Okay, maybe get a new IM custom made gasket, the port and gasket match it, then u have a good combination. But to port for a 70mm TB would be well, kind of a little problematic. Can it be bored out to 70mm?

 

The IM cannot be bored to 70mm. The adapter has a taper from 70 to about 60mm. It will bolt on as is, OR you may blend or port match the IM to 60mm just at the opening for a smooth transistion.

 

That might be a good idea, and to complement the usage of this TB.

 

Any updates?
