      This sounds fairly cool. I'd be down to pick one up for the eventual m20b25 I'll more than likely own JUST to have it around.
      Need a part? PM me.

        That's a nice looking piece, but I doubt it will show much of a gain. Larger TBs may improve throttle response in many situations, but they usually don't prove much on a dyno.

        For boosted applications this would be more beneficial. Only a high strung NA motor with a large cam(s) benefits from an oversized TB.

        Good luck either way, and I'm curious to see the results.

          This piece is designed for people who have done some serious engine modifications. Forced induction engines will benefit due to the increase in air allowed into the manifold. Stroker engines will too allow more air to come into the manifold. Upon improving throttle response, noticeable gains will be felt. There are alot of options out there to increase fuel via FPR& injectors, the way we can add more spark capacity to the plugs but sometimes limited to our air control options. This piece will give us more options to fine tune our engines. Thanks for your feedback.

            Agreed. This is not a power mod for stock m20s by any means. Strokers, and boosted cars will definitely benefit from this mod.

                    My appoligies you guys. My Dad went away on vacation so I have been busy with the shop & Wife and kids on the weekends. This Friday I assure you I will have pics up and I will be mounting it with the stock airbox. I will say I did a quick bolt on and test drive and I did notice a difference. But more information and detailed pics on Friday.

                      Sand casting may also be a cheaper alternative to CNC time

                        I have already invested too much time and A fair amount of $ to have this machined. I already have an idea of what it would cost me per piece. I just have to put the additional parts together that you will need...hardware etc.

                          Updated with installed pics. 90% finished. I am going to be driving for testing. Have to figure out hardware, and work on a intruction sheet.

                            I had chance to see this adapter in person last night, looks very well made and hope I can jump on the group buy if my money allows it. I can't speak for gains or # on the dyno but Vic's car sounded very good and his throtle response was torqui and sexy as he drove off.


                            Good work man.

                              does the M30 throttle use the M20 TPS?

                                Thank you kind Sir! I'm telling you....I love it so far. But want to drive it for a week to ensure it is ready to be released.

                                That is correct. I used my TPS.
