Any gains to speak of for an na car or is it just usefull for F/I ?

All TCs will notice much faster throttle response. We did not dyno it.

BOXMAN

Is the RX-8 unit less prone to delay? Or is this due to the larger size of the TB?

soros151

I would say that it's because the larget Inlet of the TB that it may be less prone to a delay.

The improved response is due to the larger bore of the throttle body(70mm vs. 55mm).

soros151

Maybe we will have to bore the IM to get the advantage on the new TB.

big bore tb + aftermarket im, + i/h/e = mucho power

soros151

Okay, maybe get a new IM custom made gasket, the port and gasket match it, then u have a good combination. But to port for a 70mm TB would be well, kind of a little problematic. Can it be bored out to 70mm?

blackdiamondcnc

The IM cannot be bored to 70mm. The adapter has a taper from 70 to about 60mm. It will bolt on as is, OR you may blend or port match the IM to 60mm just at the opening for a smooth transistion.

soros151

That might be a good idea, and to complement the usage of this TB.
