throttle body upgrades??
i have a 1987 7 and I have been looking around for some extra horsepower. I was wondering if anyone knew of any throttle body swaps. I could bore it out, but I would rather just buy one and swap it. Thank you for your help.

Have you tried the TB mod yet? If you havent..try that first. I think the TB is actually a pretty good design minus the 2 extra shutters that are removed with the mod.

[QUOTE=vaughnc]Uhh, what are these parts and what's their purpose? I'm guessing it bolts to that custom LIM, but I haven't seen a turbo that can feed this much fuel ??
Those are all tb's with fuel rails/injectors. Notice one of the has wiggins clamps already installed for ic piping. There is only as much fuel as you add. Seems kind of obvious, but sounds like you assume you have to put all 1600's in there. Setips like these are really good for p-ports and semi-p-ports. They even offer a semi p-port lim, though only for re' and rew's. |
what type of power gain you think you could get from that?
|
I heard from somone that if you use the FD UIM that you can expcet a 20 HP gain due to the better flow... Is that true?

If so, you're wasting your time looking to upgrade the TB. That's not your restriction. -Ted |

Actually, there are gains to be had, but there are a lot of other things you should upgrade before tackling the TB.
Check out Kahren relocation of the TB with a very heavily modded "intake manifold" in the dyno section? This is the engine that made 195 to the wheels, I believe? If you haven't already, do the exhaust, intake, CDI, lightened flywheel, and street port first - these will give you bigger gains for less money (well, except for the porting due to the rebuild). -Ted |
ok. some other upgrades i was thinking about was maybe a turbo, cold air intake, header, custom bent exhaust, new ignition, new plug wires and some serious weight reduction. does anyone have any other ideas or recommendations? another question. will the stock motor take a turbo?
|
turbo and header??? could that be used in the same time?
|
if you want a turbo on your car, i would recommend selling your n/a and getting a turbo2 instead.
