Rev Xtreme after market Throttle Body

[SwampRat]

It's great that Mikes getting Vendors to develop new products for us , thank you Mike & Tracy at RX. .... link : http://www.revxtreme.com/index.php?route=common/home

I'm changing the title of the post to reflect ..

Clicked the link, not seeing anything.

It's to the home page   ...  no TB  info yet ...  when available it'll be available only at 4DR's store .

68 mm is more than enough to handle the air we are flowing with these turbos or even upgraded turbos IMHO

I personally see no advantage to a larger throttle body on forced induction motor. Other than as mentioned by BPD with 1stsho's experience.

And the other question is if the IC would become a flow restriction... Still... If they build it... It should be tested to see... You're much more versed than I am, but i'm still surprised by some of the things that come out of mods with this car.

There's an advantage for sure but only when the air flow demands call for it and even before the TB should be enlarged you need to be looking at a larger IC and piping along with an intake manifold that is flanged for the larger size and designed to flow more air

A bung or two for a boost source would be sweet when these things actually come out.

There are many pieces to this developing jigsaw puzzle ....

I am found of saying  " if there is a will there is a way " , remember that there is a well known vendor ( per 4DR ) that is looking into developing   a better IC ,  at least for the  SHO .

As long as the pieces come together in the end  , I don't care how the Puzzle is built .

GT500's have twin 60's and pick up big power going to the Cobra jet twin 65.  Even more with larger blowers.  I think there could be power to be had with our cars, just not sure how much.  Also I think a tune would be needed.

That tb is precompressor... extremely sensitive to precompressor restriction, but basically exact opposite post compressor.

Same reason powerpipes work on centri blowers but big tb's don't do much, engine not as sensitive when air being shoved down its throat.

A bigger throttle body combined with a throttle body spacer should be worth 50 awhp.

Is that a joke?

100% joke

Oh thank god... I was wondering if you experienced some unicorn stuff with bigger tb's on your JSRT. I know they can put down very impressive numbers, but didn't think tb's were part of that equation.

1OO%  WRONG ... THERE WILL be some benifit in HP gain and throttle response,  we just dont know how much yet .

[thatsmrgimp2u]

In all seriousness, with the stock intake setup and restrictive intercooler, I'd bet its less than 5hp. Increasing plenum volume has minimal impact on turbo vehicles. I can see potential in the bigger throttle body, but only after the other bottlenecks are remedied.
