CROOKED OR NOT ! car looks dope !! keep up the great work n/a

 

Not free. But not at the ridiculously high price they charge either.
say, 170 shipped? It's the black edition.

 

i love everything you have done to the sedan its one of my favorites so far. my only gripe though is the big 70mm tb it really wont benefit your set-up if anything it will hinder it. i know you have your reason why your using it and it makes sense. but performance wise i think you will lose power the throttle response would make you think other wise but trust me it will. if down the road you change your mind the stock 55mm i think its better if anything opening up to the tb opening on the IM 2mm over the size of the tb is very beneficial. if anything 70mm tb with a boosted D making mad power would work but not this set-up. just food for thought man just looking out for ya.

 

Gonna have to disagree with you on these statements since you are not providing evidence. A good (and old) buddy of mine has been toying with d-series motors since I met him in 2002 (he's originally from Ridgecrest). He runs www.polarbeartuning.com and sells ported intake manifolds, throttle bodies, etc. I wish he still had dyno charts posted, but the ported intake manifold/bigger tb combos DO make power. Albeit upper end power, but power nonetheless.

Unfortunately, I do not have solid evidence either (hypocritical, I know) since I can't find the dyno charts. Another guy out of your hometown used to be big into those combos. I think his name was Dave. He had a big operation for a while.

 

well they will make peak numbers but then again i obviously don't know the purpose of the vehicle. personally with the pretty stock set-up he has i don't think its beneficial. im mostly on d-series.org a vet member on there i have tried the bigger tb route myself. unfortunately im hypocritical myself also with no proof. looks like we both have good friends with no proof at the moment. now if this set-up had a worked head and IM and cam'd i would say go for it depending on the cam profile obviously. i guess it depends on his power band right. i think your talking about dave hickman the scammer his tb's were garage. i have heard of polarbeartuning they do awesome stuff. I didn't mean to say it wouldn't make any kind of power i guess i was vague so i apologize. i mean useable power im a fan of a well balanced set-up . at the most b-series 58mm is as big as i would go with 2.5 inch cai.


ill find my proof ill be back lol

a mix bag of what were are both saying.lol

I get what you're saying now.

My wagovan A6 motor screamed with a ported head, ported intake manifold and B16 throttle body. Also had isky vavle train, but I never put the delta cam in there. I also had a ported z6 intake manifold and B16 throttle body on the Y7 motor in my old white commuter CRX. I thiiiiink it helped power wise, but never dyno'd before/after.

And yes! Dave Hickman. Yeah...not a lot of good things said about that guy. Chris learned everything from Dave, but I don't think he's shady.

Matt: Do you have to worry about smog?

 

i have a b16 tb here but im waiting to port my z6 IM for my sohc zc. they do wake up once you let them breathe. but see you did everything else to compliment having a bigger tb i bet it was fun. dammit i need to start doing back to back dyno sessions. well dave at one point was cool then started becoming an ******* but that's a whole other thread. I don't question Chris's integrity im sure he is a awesome guy. im just stating my experience and what i have learned then again it can go either way i wish him the best. I'm just interested how this set-up evolves.
