TVT Design, 74mm Throttle Body Feedback

Just thought I'd post this link from one of our other forums.

http://www.crossfireforum.org/forum/...ad.php?t=33251

A lot of our Crossfire owners have purchased these, and this one in particular races his regularly.

Best bang for your buck at 250.00 shipped!

Need an M111 test mule?

It works for all M112 apps, but we'd love to do some real work to the M111. RD takes a little while though...

Anthony, what would be your best guess at the gains if you combine the 74mm TB, Phenolic spacers, modified thermostat, and ECU tune?

Best guess, not holding you to it.

If you're not holding me to it, I'd estimate 500-600 HP and +50mpg give or take 1-2mpg.

Realistically though the spacers and T-stat do not add power they allow for a better running engine and more consistent power delivery (no heat soak). An ECU tune with the TB will net you around 30 HP.


Install is very simple. Once you remove the MAF and plastic elbow under that, you basically remove the 4 bolts in the stock TB and replace with the new one. If this took you an hour and it was the first time you ever looked under the hood, I'd be surprised.
