so what everyone is saying is stick to standard??? even if its going to be tuned with other mods?
isnt it the more air and fuel you can pump in the faster it goes? obviously in a tuned manner?
tell me if im wrong....id like to increase power on my car without opening up the motor, due to the facet that iv seen alot of family and friends destroy their existing motors and end up spending thousands on a project that shouldnt have cost them that much....
thanks for all the help BTW
well not point having a larger tb to let more air in when the cams will only open up the valves enough(and long enough) to take in a lesser amount
imo
replace the restrictions on intake and exhaust.
So , better flowing intake , better flowing header , better flowing CAT and CAT BACK and muffler. Not TB.
Leave TB and IM, they will be fine for basic bolt-on mods and light-moderate head work.
Just give them a good lean with Suburu engine cleaner or carby cleaner etc, will flow very nicely after that and maybe give you a HP or 2
Well thanks for all the advice guys but i still went ahead with the upgrade, it went 68mm s2 TB and s2 IM ported to a 68MM, the car has gain alot of torque and power throughout the rev range, if anybody is looking into this upgrade it will be worth it and will not regret a thing, not the engine bay looks great and the drive is awsome! :D :D :D

Looks f'ing mint in that bay of your's mate. Good for you :)
keyboard warriors FTW lmao.
looks nice, im liking da blue rocker cover. wat other mods u planning to do??
What bolt-ons are you currently running? IE what brands? Headers look nice :)
intake and exhaust are both unbranded, liverpool exhaust did my full exhaust system, 4-2-1 headers ceramic coated, high flow cat, and a basic looking cannon, intake is a injen replica, also made at liverpool exhaust and ceramic coated aswell running a blox velocity stacker pod filter, i got spoon leads, 550hp fuel pump walhbro, using castrol edge sport 10w-60w, platinum plugs...the intake manifold and TB also done as stated above and seen :cool:
in the near future id like to get a lightened flywheel and 6 puck clutch, running a exedy heavy duty clutch at the moment.
further down the track going to be doing full head work.....hope all goes well!
how much did the ceramic coating cost from livo exhausts?
Good to hear the result of the upgrade from the OP himself... good to know the outcome is positive.
Does anyone know the internal diameter of the OEM B18CR IM? My OEM TB is sticky and i will be making the upgrade to a 66mm TB, just need to know how much the IM will require to be ported.
Installed my Blox 66mm TB last night n ported out the B18CR IM to match... certainly a noticeable torque n top end power increase althought the initial response a bit off, worthwile mod imo n the pedal feels much better.
