RJansen658 Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I remember like 6 months ago or so, I was lookinf for performance parts for 3.1's, and there was a site selling bored throttle bodies, ported 3.1 UIM's, LIM's, heads, etc. Now I just went to look for it again, and it seems they aren't around anymore? Anyone know what I am talking about, I want to get a bigger T.B. for a 3.1.... EDIT looks like I found some.... here... http://www.mantapart.com/2831v6.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 yeah a lot of their stuff is expensive, but remember their market is small and probably dont have high sales like the 2nd gen places. FWIW, ive bought stuff from them in the past, and i was satisfied, along with everyone else i know that has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottster Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Expensive buggers. x2 They have quite a selection, considering no one else makes any performance goodies for the 3.1 anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Mantaparts customer service blows. Mantaparts willing to ship in a decent amount of time blows. The fact that Mantapart is actually just a shed in the guys backyard blows. Their prices blow. The fact that people have ordered stuff WELL over a year ago, and they still do not have it currently blows. Don't order from them. They have soo many complaints to the BBB(Better Business Bureau) that I'm suprised they are even allowed to sell stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitaloutsider Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 What the fuck does a 3.1 need a bigger throttle body for? And yes, Mantapart blows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its called 60*v6 store... Mantapart is complete shit... And if you only want a 3400TB its called MilzyMotorsports... If you want anything else, its called junkyard... When I looked at the 60*v6 store they only had TB's for the 3100's What the fuck does a 3.1 need a bigger throttle body for? And yes, Mantapart blows. I know I know I know, but I already have 1 L67 swap underway, so I was looking for performance gains for my every day driver. I wanted to keep the 3.1L in it, but still beef it up a little bit. I know a bigger TB won't help a stock 3.1L, but I have some extra heads and an intake sitting around, so I thought it would be a good improvement if I were to port the heads and intake. Aside from a new air filter setup, there isn't much aftermarket stuff for the 3.1L. I was actually looking at turbo setups, but discounted the idea because of difficulties finding a crossover pipe.

19Cutlass94 Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 The 60*v6 store has 62mm and 65mm TB which can be used on 3100, 3400, 3500, and I believe they had a 3900Tb as well with an adapter for the 3500 plenum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LumiDriver Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I just want my car to run right, damn LIM I was looking for some upgrade parts. But i don't think an intake is worth it. Coolant in the morning, coolant in the evening, coolant at suppertime. when coolants in the pan, it's smellin everytime ~to the tune of the bagel bites commercial~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intern8tion9l Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I was actually looking at turbo setups, but discounted the idea because of difficulties finding a crossover pipe. they aren't that hard to come by. usually one will turn up on ebay, or you can check out tgpforums and get one off somebody. naturally it will have to be rebuilt, but thats just a fact of life. i think though you could just buy a whole tgp for pretty cheap and then have all the parts right there. seems like a lot are for sale these days on the cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1kicker Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Too bad the prices are so high and the customer service isn't there. I don't believe anyone makes PEM's for 3.1's. Not sure why anyone wouldn't buy the FFP pulley instead though, no need for a larger alt pulley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
