Guest Your Car is Slow Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Ok..so whos tried this? http://www.nomad.cz28.com/photo4.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 I know someone that was considering it, but I think Nomad is the only one that has done it for sure (Shannon). He also does 52mm from the 48mm stocker, I just bought a 58mm BBK and fixed the IAC circuit they so crudely hacked together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Your Car is Slow Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Yea..ive heard the BBKs were shit. Just started a welding class and have access to some pretty amazing frikkin tools and equipment in the local community college shop. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I have a throttle body sittin around doin nothing Hogging it out would be a breeze....but fabrication of the monoblade would be a nightmare me thinks!

Mudge Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Yeah, most of the aftermarket TBs have a stupid IAC setup - and I wasn't going to pay Holley money, when all it requires was a 1/2" peice of pipe (used thin copper). Then drilled the an IAC bypass hole which it didn't even have like the stocker does, before that my IAC counts were maxed @ 160 and the car would not even idle.

ToplessZ Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 I think that would be cool I wonder what the performance would be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Your Car is Slow Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 You would have to have forced induction, or serious headwork/cams to benefit from that size throttle body. It wouldnt do a damn thing on a stock motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Actually they do a little for stock engines, just like the TB bypass - nobody really expected anything from it. I'd rather spend $300 on something else, and if your going to do it dont bother with a 52mm IMO go 58mm - except then you have to work the intake. As for the mono from a 48mm stocker, it wont be as big as an ASM mono, but its cheap I spose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
