911 S Throttle Body Installed

[Meir]

thanks for the update Blair.
a little bit disappointment that the numbers are so much apart then what is posted on the Pedro website. (+30HP)
with that said, he dose recommend a use of high performance exhaust system for best results.
i think ill give it a try anyway.
the plan as i mentioned earlier, is to go catless.
i think i will run a dyno as it is today (TS bypass pipe and de shnork)
and once again after installing:
the full thechnopwoer2 kit
UDP
headers
modified exhaust.
if ill get +20, its worth it.

Good job on the install. I am right there with ya. But have to ask….isn't the intake tube "collapsed" a little coming from the Throttle Body? It looks "flattened out" in the pic, is that right?


It could be better and I'll take suggesttions but there is so little room to make a 90' turn coming out of the TB before you hit the rim of the engine bay. There was a small tab on that rim...I ground it off...needed that 1/2' !!

TB won't rotate any lower to miss the rim. So yes a little restricted.

@Blair, Good post! Good info…and a bit of a reality check for me since I thought we would GAIN more HP from those mods. Again, that is Mfr. promises vs. ACTUAL WHP. I understand.

Seems to me if the airflow is straightened out a bit it may help. Have you tried a 45 degree up to that TB? You ARE USING a 4" (or 102mm) tubing, right? It seems you may get more clearance by going across instead of over. Just an opinion - it may not work. That is where I am with that. Also, the honeycomb mod is SUPPOSED to straighten airflow which would allow the MAF better calculations. It is not a "sawtooth" looking linear chart and more straight line (see thread below for more clarification - it's long but enlightening).

Also, are you using the ENTIRE 3" x 5" area (where the snork used to be) as the "intake pipe" or it that air being further reduced?

Keep up the good posts, very educational!

12 hp gain at the wheels. realise that 5 of that is UDP, which means 7 hp from cat back, tb/plenum, tune. that's a lot of lettuce for 7 hp.
