Looking for driving impressions WITHOUT the technosquare ecu flash. Sorry if it is a report, search is down.

 

damn search is down...i dont know yet but i have also asked the same question on the forums...people say it is an ok mod if you are pushing alittle more than stock...but if not its only gunna push so much for a port and polished throttle body....

Search is working fine for me.

I have a 350EVO throttle body.

It's for sale.

I want it how much.

Thanks Glen

 

$600 shipped

 

Why do you want so much?

Thanks Glen

 

Cause it's actually worth over $1000.00.

Considering you don't have to trade in your stock throttle body, which is over $650.00 from the dealership.

 

What are the pros and cons for getting the throttle body over stock. If you dont mind me asking.

Thanks Glen

 

Pros: Overall better response, more horsepower up top
Cons: All I can think of is cost.

 

Thank you for the information.

Glen

 

No prob.

 

Any independent dyno results? Cost/horse?

 

I have it, but installed the Technosquare reflashed ECU at the same time. Gains with this are really going to depend on your other mods. I wanted it because I now have CAI, Plenum, Cams, Headers, HF Cats, Dual exhaust and ECU. I am also waiting for some better flowing heads or for someone to figure out how to port and polish the existing ones properly.

 

Any chance you had a dyno of the reflash + TB? I would really like to see or hear about this one.

On a side note, a new set of heads aren't going to happen unless 1 of 3 things happen. Of course, this is my opinion...

1) You use the Nismo heads, they flow a lot better but will require some other valvetrain work. Possible.

2) Nissan somehow makes a set of heads for an even higher output version of the VQ like GM did for the Corvette LS1-LS6. Thereby spending thousands of dollars to make better flow on a small displacement engine to get 10 horsepower. Unlikely, even for the GTR.

3) This VQ stays around for 20, 30, or 40 years and becomes a classic like the Chevy SB or BB. Thereby prompting companies to mass produce aftermarket heads. Unlikely as well.

Personally, once the money tree sprouts in my backyard, I will be choosing option 1.

 

does it offer more or less increase than a plenum?

 

Less. You will never see the gains with a throttle body that you will with an intake manifold/plenum.

 

Maybe not new, but there will be efforts made to make the stock heads flow much better than they already do and when that time comes, I will be ready!!
