Subject: Team3S: 6 pack throttle body

Guys,
I've been dangling the thought of what to do with $2500 in mods for a
while. I just recently discovered a 6 pack throttle body, from rpw which
claims a 40 to 50%hp increase. I'm still a little sketchy if its
credible, but it is I'll definitely go for it.

Check out the above site, the info is there. Please let me know what
your thoughts are on it.
Thanks,
Jason

I had similar symptoms with my '91 VR4.  The problem turned out to be a
missing plastic screw in plug from the throttle body.  Look for an 8mm hole
in the top of the throttle angled slightly forward, big time boost leak.  I
ordered a new one from the Mitsu dealer in Fremont, CA.

Good Luck, Sharyn F.

Haha, 40 - 50% more power ... LOL

Definitely nothing for our cars ... at least not without an air filter,
without turbos, without intercoolers ........ If you want to take out the
engine and put it into a junior funny car then why not.

I'd keep my hands off until something is available that would fit without
canibalize the long runners.

40-50% more horsepower, sure : no filter, no MAS, no bends..........

IMHO, no

Subject: Team3S: Replacing stock BOV with 1G DSM BOV

Greetings folks:

I'm replacing the stock BOV in my '97 VR4 with a 1G DSM part (+ adapter.)  When
I did the swap, I had to turn the BOV 90 degrees right about the transverse
axis, in order to hook up all the three hoses.  Can anyone else who has done a
similar swap confirm this?  Or have I really screwed up the swap?

Thanks muchly!
