hey guys i was just wandering, on my buddys 96 dodge neon, the 5 spd cars have a 48 mm throttle body, where as the automatics have a 52mm... so we went to a yard and swapped his 5spd TB for a AUTO TB...this honestly did make a difference on my buddys car. i was just wandering if this was the same way on our tibbys?? thanks for the info!

 

That's pretty cool. I wonder. He would definitely see gains as there is a 4mm difference. You'd have to find one for REAL cheap though. I wouldn't pay too much money for 4mm. I'd rather spend a little more for a 58 or 60mm TB instead. Cool idea though.

 

yea thats what i thought, because his TB cost us like 10 bucks at a u pull it yard...and there are a few around here...hmm..makes me wander...ill hafta go up with mine and see what the elantras or Santafe or whatever have on them....hmm..do i smell a mod coming on?? haha

 

hw can we investigate that???

is very insteresting!....

 

That's very interesting. Maybe it was done to make up the power difference between the auto and manual..

 

So basically we're looking for someone who:
(1) has an automatic
(2) has a tape measure
(3) has the time to measure their TB

Maybe TC can help us out one this one.

 

im sure this is a stupid questoin, but what is the stoke size tb for a manual?

 

ill have to get tibbychick in here, and im not sure what the stock size for ours is, with valentines day coming up tomorrow, and work and everything i dont have time to pull mine off, but eventually i will, glad to see that you guys are intersted and getting involved laugh.gif:

 

I've heard 53mm for both auto and manual...

 

No automatic TBs here. Id have to ask fixation from HP.com cause he's got the TB from the black tib, which was auto. But I doubt he measured it.
