General Topics / Larger throttle body? Info? Power gains

« on: November 03, 2007, 12:26:23 AM »

I read that tread a while ago and I’ve been trying to find it. I remember he did say throttle response was better, but I can’t remember if it was installed on an m42 or m44

So what's the verdict here? Big bore is a waste of time?

I'm thinking about doing this, but I don't want to wast my money. I'm keep my AFM for smog reasons. Right now I have a DASC and exhaust. I have a unichip wired up but not installed with a good base map that needs some fine tuning.

Anyone know how much HP a stock m20 Clutch is good for?

I gonna ask a similar question that Shocker did. Any rough ideas how much boost can be safely pushed on a bone stock M42? I mean stock compression ratio, internals, and on the motronic. I'm guessing 5....6 lbs?

with poor tuning 5-6psi will be pushing it.  With a proper tune, 1bar shouldnt be a problem IMO

The DASC runs 7psi and only an FMU for fuel and nothing for timing.

I run 10.5 PSI with a piggy back.  I'd be willing to run more if I coud find a better Unichip tuner and install a thicker HG.
