cowboy bebop Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 That look great, did you enlarge the entrance into the intake? I am thinking about a weld on adapter flange so the entrance can be enlarged to the size of the Q45 80mm internal diameter. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I gave the manifold and the TB to an fabricating place next door to turbofit and he knocked it up in an hour, charged me £50 iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Kev, do you actually NEED a bigger throttle butterfly? Just measure the pressure drop across it, I'd be surprised if the stock one, at your air flow levels, is much of a restriction. You just need 2 accurate pressure gauges. For road or track usage people would be better investing in a multiple throttle body set up, budget permitting, and get better response.

Kev.O Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Whats the problem Kev ? Trying to find a better way of removing the Trac control from the T/B, than what has been done before, and wondered whether billet would look better than the stock cast.

It's not for that reason Chris, I'm just looking for ways other than removing the buttery when I get the T/B polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not for that reason Chris, I'm just looking for ways other than removing the buttery when I get the T/B polished. We dont need to remove the butterfly to get it polished Kev, only when it goes for chroming. I think a billet one custom made to the same spec as the stock intake could look much better and should chrome up far nicer as well, i think i'll have a chat with my brother as he's had a small cnc miller repaired which im sure i can blag for a few hrs for a small exchange of ££'s I reckon with how far youve gone on your car this will let it down, i mean the t/b ive got now will never look as great as you want it so think you should say let me polish up the one ive got and leave me to make the custom one Edited January 20, 2009 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was done before ? did they remove the whole system then attempt to weld the holes up ? Why not do what others have done( i think Wez did this) cut the throttle body before the trac and then use a longer intercooler pipe.

JamieP Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Something like this do the job? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Billet-65mm-80mm-aluminium-throttle-body_W0QQitemZ360124050621QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item360124050621&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BILLET-THROTTLE-BODY-70MM-SUIT-TURBO-NISSAN-MITSUBISHI_W0QQitemZ250121899288QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item250121899288&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 They look good, thanks. Only thing with the first one is how much power it can take. I'd like to think I'll be running 500+bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 They both come in sizes upto 80mm, whats stock 70mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at having the BOV flange on the side of the T/B Colin, well that's the plan. This wasn't done by Dunk, or any of our UK companies before anyone says anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Not great but cast is a bitch to weld with, im suprised they didn't smooth the welds though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 They both come in sizes upto 80mm, whats stock 70mm? Somwhere close to that I'm sure. If I went this route, I'd like to have one that either fits directly onto the stock I/M, or can be made to look smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Not great but cast is a bitch to weld with, im suprised they didn't smooth the welds though Dunk will tell you that the picture makes it looks 100% better than it actually is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Is that polished or chromed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
