Re: Throttle body

Are 4 more millimeters really worth $200+ to $300+ ?

Re: Throttle body

So why not put the money towards something else that would give you way more Hp then a throttlebody? Couple hundred more and you could get a Zex dry shot of nitrous or as i recently learned a Cryo2 set up, which is safer then nitrous.

Re: Throttle body

I was doing some searching and the just was that a 62mm throttle body on a stock car is not worth it becuase your going to lose a lot of torque. Also, that the biggest you should possibly go on a stock car is 58mm. The reason I'm not going with nitrous or that other stuff is becuase its my daily driver and if something happens I need my car.

Re: Throttle body

know first hand that the 62mm tb makes a world of difference on a stock engine. Bitch is sucking in so much air that I let off the gas in mid shift it sounds like a damn blow off valve.

Who knows though. It could be different between the cavy engines but all I know is my ecotec loves the damn thing.

Re: Throttle body

Ya, I'm not too sure. Did you lose some low end torque cause I heard thats what happens to the 2.4L's. Cuase all I was doing was getting the TB and an Intake and full exhaust. Maybe, I'll look into a 58mm or something around there.
