Turbo is ready to go back in as I get new inconel stud from begi first. I modify the wastegate actuator point straight to the lid.

I want a 2871... :(

Manifold looks great.

Wiring looks downright scary. Clean that up.

I knew somebody is going to bring that up! :D My excuse is that I’m waiting to finish my LSx truck coil wiring and after that I sort that mess out.

I guess 70mm throttle body should be ok?

Absolutely.

Can't wait to see the glorious powerband all this new stuff should help you produce

Holy rats-nest, batman. Looking good otherwise though, what modifications did you do to that ITR mani to make it work? It doesn't look like you cut the flange off and swapped it like most do.

As I wrote, it’s not finished yet. Just a test fitting.

I’m going to cut the stock flange off and weld it to the Honda IM. Stock idle valve is only thing that I’m not sure about. Should I modify it fit where Honda IAC valve goes or can I use it through vacuum ports…

Now it only needs polishing

Next I’m taking that intake manifold to get welded

Pen2_the_penguin 01-22-2013 04:03 PM

now polish that port job... but cant you knife edge that butterfly or does it look thick just in the picture?

muoto 01-23-2013 02:26 AM

Well it is looking kind a thick now that you mention it. I don’t know if there’s any gain knife edge that?

Don't screw with it or it won't close right.

Knife edge = bad for subsonic flow. Unless you plan on your TB seeing supersonic speeds. It's already way bigger than stock, something tells me that it won't be a restriction.

Braineack 01-23-2013 01:56 PM

the shaft is flat on one edge too right?

My92 01-23-2013 02:01 PM

I have never seen a flat shaft, and i have seen many TBs they have always been round shafts.

Insert gay joke here!
