thedeef Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 anybody know anything about these or use one? deef Quote
STR Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 i have one matched to the upper intake with their 72mm throttlebody. alot more power through the whole powerband. i haven't been to the track yet to show any numbers. Quote
FastSE2DR Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 I just ordered upper, lower and throttle body...set me back a pretty penny with core charges of course. They said it would take 2 to 2.5wks because they didnt have the lower on hand. Quote
Jon89le Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 STR, -You mentioned you had the whole intake setup there, what motor is that for? And how nice of a porting job did they do? Reason i ask is that our intakes are like impossible to port because of the sharp bend where the upper and lower meet and im wondering how the hell they got around that... Quote

STR Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 check the sig out, i have a 3.4DOHC. also check out my webpage for a pic of the throttlebody, site is not finished though. prices are on the RSM website. Quote
Jon89le Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 I just got a reply from RSM. Heres what they had to say... The price for the 3.1 upper and lower ported IM is $US219.99 for both and they are hand ported, gasket matched and flowed at 20% over stock. The gain is 24 HP with a 62 mm TB. Thats pretty good to me for only 220$. Quote
FastSE2DR Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 yeah but for $220 you only get upper and lower manifolds...the throttle body is another $220. Quote
Jon89le Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 That is true. I was comparing that to the $650 that Extrude Hone was going to charge me to do both. And just as an IMHO, id get the FDP throttle body. Its a new billet used which to me is better quality. Heres the site if you need it. http://www3.sympatico.ca/fjpeters/throttlebodies.htm Quote
