I'm interested if you ever did any investigation into the throttle body?


Also, you should have a linked delta chart for all your parts on the website

 

Yes, I did. The throttle body is a complete waste of time.

 

Interesting, i'm assuming spacing it as well, though, i guess that's the same as the plenum spacer?

Just had the car out tonight, first dry roads in ages, gave it the boot several times, it just pulls that much harder through pretty much the whole range now with the spacer

I'm guessing i'll get a bigger kick from ART and XYZ?

 

I did all kinds of testing on the throttle body and it yielded nothing. There just isn't enough relative pressure drop in that area to make any meaningful advantage.

The plenum spacer actually fixes a stock design flaw. Flow blockage from the upper plenum. The spacer makes easy HP.

And yes, the ART pipes and XYZ both enhance the power and sound.

Will you be using a stock exhaust from the Y back?

 

I'm planning to, yes. I'm about to fit a modified rear muffler, basically had the contents ripped out and straight pipes welded inside. Stock outside look, but just normal exhaust inside.

My plan is the XYZ with the cat fitted, i'm hoping the sound will be pretty good.

 

OK that will make it interesting.

Post sound clips when you get it together.

And the XYZ pipe is a module of the Shockwave))) exhaust so if you ever want to upgrade your exhaust to a full Shockwave))) exhaust you can do it with your existing Motordyne parts.

 

How come SGM made quite a bit more power with a bigger TB and plenum then? Is it just that the stock TB becomes restrictive after cams are installed?

 

Oh i'll be getting the sound clips up alright Just gotta save the money to get the pipes, i'll need to get the XYZ and the ART's in one go due to the cat.

When's your next sale on? :P

The shockwave exhaust is the latest one, right? I'd just need to buy parts of it?

 

I don't know what they did or if they used a different throttlebody but in my measurements of the stock throttle body, there was nothing to be gained there.

 

Dealer sales are almost continuously running. And yes, you can later hook up the rest of the Shockwave))) exhaust. And you don't have to buy another XYZ pipe.

 

Sounds like a plan

Do you keep a list of authorized dealers? i couldn't see one on the website.

Also, do you still do free shipping on the 1st of the month?

 

They used a 90mm TB and they gained some good power.
BTW, I am looking to get one of your spacers soon and I was wondering if it's worth the extra work to install the copper TB thing? I do drive in the winter but I had just the regular iso thermal spacer before and sometimes would forget to turn the coolant flow valve on, I never ran into any icing problems or anything.

 

Yes and yes.

 

It depends on how cold it is and the relative humidity.

Where are you located?

 

Haha, ok, so where can i find a list of the dealers to search for the best deal with?

 

We dont have a list posted on line but you can always call us for locations of dealers near you.

 

I'm in IL.

 

^ Definitely Copper for IL.

All northern states should use the Copper Iso Thermal. Its an install and forget part that never needs adjustment.

In warm southern states like CA TX and FL where it rarely gets cold you can go with the regular Iso Thermal. In the rare event you need to drive in really cold weather or you are driving to the ski slopes you can simply turn the Iso Thermal Coolant Control Valve (CCV) to the on position for the trip and you are good to go.

Now it is possible to use the regular Iso Thermal in states like IL, NY and AK too, but then you will need to remember to turn the CCV to the on position every cold season and then turn it off in the warm season. This is why I recommend the Copper Iso Thermal in northern states. There is nothing to forget or adjust.

 

Ah, that wasn't quite what i meant, i'm trying to be a penny pincher and get online, i doubt very highly that you have any dealers in Oregon.

 

I purchased mine from here...Import Parts Pro dot com

Good pricing and more importantly trustworthy!
