ooooooooohh, GM (as in General Motors). DUH!! that's why the TB is different lookin from mine. donno why that didn't dawn on me when i read it the first time

i'm a peripheral visionary. i can see into the future, but way off to the side.
That's a big TB. I just don't like the idea of welding the damn thing to the plenum. I saw one that was re-manufactured from tearstone.com that had a whole different main plenum tube from cylinder 1 thru 6, but it was for a different configurated car and it didn't have same sensor locations that we do : example : MAP, IAT, re-located EGR (that are on the plenum). If done right the whole main tube side could almost be replaced, but you'd have to attach the sensors somehow. check it out http://tearstone.com/shop/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=437&category_id=128&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1
How are you going to get the GM sensors to work with the non-GM car... or are you going to mod it so that the OE sensors from your car will work?
the sensors were almost a perfect fit. just a lil modification and i was able to use my old sensors. i figured the readings might be different so i used mine.

I plan to do a lot to the upper plenum so i bored out the manifold as much as it could go (63 mm). this would suck for low end power, but i plan to do some changes to make sure there are no negative effects. if anything i can take my sensors off for cleaning and such. i decided it wouldnt pose too much of a problem.
the same theory applied to the exhaust is applied here. faster air through the manifold means colder air to the cylinder, so i plan on modifying both plenums to flow faster air. when i get started on that, i will start posting. that's gonna be a while as i wanna feel the difference it makes before and after..also times an such. i used this tb cuz i didnt want any restrictions and a bunch of other reasons. now i have a lot of room to work with.

not to be negative and don't take this as a flame
FLAWED! Faster air will do umm close to nothing, you want compression (example turbo or supercharger) If you want faster air, put a fan in your intake. The sell them on e-bay, look for electric turbo.
