68mm POWER Throttle Body Review

Just a quick review on a cheap modification i recently carried out on the car.

I decided to help improve the throttle response of the S by using a larger aftermarket throttle body (standard is 64mm from memory). I decided to go with the 'Power Throttle Body' 68mm. I paid roughly $300AUD landed for this unit which is much better than forking out $700 for the spoon unit.

First impressions are that the car feels alot more responsive. Feels very zippy especially when stepping on the gas. The car does not feel as 'lazy' down low. I havnt dynoed the car yet with this, but will do so when i purchase an aem ems to make the most out of my current modifications and future power upgrades.

highly recommended mod if you already have intake and exhaust. :thumbsup:

if your interested in getting one shoot me a pm and il point you in the right direction.

Hey John, you got a pic installed?

does the accelerator feel the same though? or is it stiffer to press...?

Installation took around 30min-45min. Much better to drive. If we have time back 2 back dyno from stock 64mm t/b to 68mm t/b. More gains will be made if we port match the manifold.

well.. so whats the review?? outcome?? hows it go??

The manifold entry. I think its about 65-66mm, havn't measured it yet. Will need to port it out to 68mm to fully gain from a bigger t/b.

WHERES THE DYNO GRAPH FLY lol...im waiting.. and ur keeping me at suspense...

havnt got the ecu to tune it yet lol

Maybe you can do a before and after ECU dyno chart... just an idea as alot of us (well I won't be) might not want to change ECU but curious on the modification.

yeh aem 1052 unit is on its way from the states, once that arrives i will try and get back to back dyno's done.
