Hi Juvintibs11....errrhh define 'too major'

...one thing is for sure your wheels at 17in is weighing you down coupled with the 45 profiles....you will need smaller number being perference:

1. Header
2. Greddy E-Management
3. Flywheel and UD Pulley
4. N2O

Tell us ur technique... but u may be going as fast as u can with those mods. There are some little things to do that will drop a few tenths. Lower tire pressure in the front, raise it in the back, open hood between runs to cool it down, and most important is the way u drive it. Got any slips so we can see what ur 60ft times etc.. are?

disconnect the heater tube that goes into the TB, there is an inlet and an outlet tube, on the underside of the TB, its used to warm up the TB when its ice cold, but you can use one of the tubes to isolate the TB, and the other tube to redirect the water flow back into the system.

where is that located???

beppomarx · 05-20-2003, 02:05 PM

youre throttle body??? its what your intake conencts to. the 2 black hoses running to it just disconnect one (while its cold- radiator fluid will come out) and then take teh one thats remaining and loop it back from the water distribution block right back into it and i just leave the TB open but you can re-attach the tube to the TB if it suits you. it might fight against it corroding if you keep it sealed...

The Greddy E-Manage is a piggyback electronic device that alters the signal to your ECU for A/F and ignition.

ok so if i do what u say im supposed to do what will happen , and can i keep it like that or what???

loneshark · 05-21-2003, 06:31 PM

what will happen, huh, what, concerning what the throttle body or the AFC (air fuel controller), well for one thing youll go faster, lmfao

with the throttle body you can leave it like that, but its meant to heat up the TB, why?? I have no idea. but you can leave it like that, nothing bad will happen, but if you live in a cold climate Id put it on when its below freezing.

As for the AFC, well its tunable so you can wire it in to your ECU (electronic control unit) and adjust how much fuel is given to the engine when you mash the gas. Also if you add some heavy mods, you can tweak it out, so that you get the most HP out of your mods.
