Throttle Body?

Recommended Posts

Well so far I have install 2.5 inch exhaust with free flow cat, custom cold air intake, upgraded ground wire kit, procomp coil, kingsborne wires, sport chipped 02 sensor, voltage stabilizer ( had from another car that i never used so thought what the heck ), Very soon once it arrives procomp msd 6a style ignition, near future ecu tuning, and any other mods. I can afford or think of trying

What is a "sport chipped 02 sensor"?

Sounds suspisciously like one of those ebay "chips" that claim 30HP but are really a $0.10 resistor.

Well to tell the truth on the chipped 02 sensor I needed a replacement and it was a universal that came at a good cost , don't know if it being chipped helped or if just having a new one helped, I have no clue as to hp yet, maybe after ecu tuining, but I am still going back and forth on maybe trying the turbo bolt on or going 13:1 comp. rebuild

oh and the only thing i can say about power is a raced a stock 97 850 lpt glt , but it was an auto and beat him. But one other thing I have is a 5 speed with a stage 1 clutch

Your stock TB is just fine, next step is ITB´s, that´s porn. :) Try to build some sort of ram-air on your car and give it cold air. I would also upgrade the cams if you want to keep the car and bulid fast N/A.

Have them ground or do you know where I can get better cams off the shelf?

Hard to find off the shelf cams for N/A but leave them to a good cam company for grinding and use lash caps on the valve to take away the gap.

I know there is a aftermarket cam for the N/A but can´t remember the brand maybe Cat Cams.

I know the 850 N/A will fit on a turbo, it's ~ 3" versus ~2.5"

I know Pras did it, but he also did a turbo upgrade at the same time. I'm not sure why Chuck says it's bad, but I'll trust him on it. *closes search window for NA throttle bodies**

I would guess it's just like using 3" intercooler piping. Yeah, it's higher flow, but it's toooo much volume for that poor little stock turbo!
