65mm Tb For N/a Engines
MUCHOS GRABASS SENIOR, but this for numbers sake only right now just so everyone else can have concrete evidence to base there choisec on. i will be be rinning a 58mm for the time being but the larger 65 will go with a turbo setup that is in the distant future.
I just put my airram on with the 65mm TB and what a difference! I can definately feel the gain, and my low end hasn't seemed to suffer at all. I am very happy with the new setup. The car sounds much more aggresive.
its a stick. ok i have an airram in hand about to be installed. then all we need is to wait for redz to recieve his 65 and its off to the dyno for me. i will get a dyno for sure with 58 and 65. i think i can get my hands on 61 and stock. i will let you folks know when i recieve the results.
Dyno's 'round here seem to go for about 120 an hour or such. I have the airram for a dyno but we are in limbo as to getting a 61mm -ish TB or a 65mm. Along with tryin gto get the phenolic spacers to put on at the same time. I am debating to just whip out the card and buy the 65mm and do the dyno stock, 65mm, then 65mm and airram if we considered funding BUT. . . if the 65mm hurts more than the 61mm for n/a I'd be p*issed so that is why we are kinda sitting on our @$$es. Have to sell the 65mm for the cost and track down a 61mm. What a hassle, but I'm being pessemistic.
any results? i just bought an air ram and wanna know if i should get a 60mm GTR or the 65mm Tigerlily....
but i was also thinking...how big is the MAF? cuz if its smaller than the 65mm BBTB... a 65mm is kinda pointless.
EDIT: also i was thining... the elbow is 63.5mm.... so we would need a bigger elbow for a 65mm bbtb right? or is the damn maf senor 63.5mm also... grrrr.

I've got a 65MM sitting here, and I'm gonna try it when I get my new airram. Sorta senseless to put on a stock IM.
ABQElantra can try it on his though if he wants.

Just to let you all know, I have had the tigerlily 65mm TB on the airram for over a month now with no probs. great power too. I say the hell with it, go with the 65! As long as the runners are not a huge diameter (which they are not on the airram), and they are long (like on the stock IM or the Airram), there will be plenty of air velocity. I love the setup I currenty have, and it will work with a turbo setup too.
