Ported throttle body discussion
#92
Wake, when you get it installed and tuned, would it be possible for us to meet and you give me a quick run? I'd like to hear what they mean by the car being louder. This is the only thing scaring me right now. Also let me know what shop you plan on going for the tuning...I think only ones with a Dyno around is CAMO

going back on the topic, so if i understand right, the "in" portion of the V6 Tb is bigger but the "out" portion is the same size as our RA so the gasket is the saem as ours and we will need a different fitting to connect to our CAI or SRI to accomodate the bigger "in" of the TB

so this means you need to either use the V6 TB gasket or modify a stock RA gasket to have a 65mm opening otherwise you will loosing that 5mm gain with the gasket blocking the hole.

ok ok... enough richard simmons commments... now for the real question....
you said the car started to run like **** about 6 months after the install. but you said maybe it was due to the -30* celcius weather.
my question... did you fix the problem? was it weather or something mechanical? is this mod reliable in the long term so far?

ok, on top of the questions i asked above, i have one more two more. let me just make a list.
1. You said the car ran like crap after 6 months and you think its cuz of the cold weather (30* celcius) Have you fixed this idle problem? is it just the cold weather or something else? how is everything running now.
2. Is this mod reliable, even after 6 months?
3. I know you used an eclipse 3.8 liter throttle body and an eclipse TPS. but the 3.8 liter eclipse and galant is the same motor. Do you think its possible to use the GALANT throttle body, and eclipse TPS??? I can find a local galant motor around here somehere for cheap, so if i can use that throttle body that'll be awesome.
thanks.

2. Just as reliable so far as any other mod
3. You've obviously researched this more then I did so you'd be better at answering that question then I would. Is the Galant TB a drive by wire system? If yes and its the same motor as the 4th Gen Eclipse V6 then chances are it will work, if its not drive by wire then no it won't work.
