MIL.SPEC Evo VIII-IX Throttle Body Seals (Got Boost leaks?)

https://secure.securelogo.com/images/4g63girl.jpg

We recently swapped in these MIL.SPEC seals replacing the leaky, OEM seals on an Evo VIII.
We did a pull on the dyno with the OEM seals, then put in the new seals and picked up 20 whp and 20 ft lbs!!!

Holy boost leak Batman! :bloated:
I was astounded by those numbers, so I wanted to share with you Evo owners that we have a bunch of these here in stock.
$22 for 20hp and an hour worth of work… Not a bad deal.

So you found the exact same seal used in military applications? or you got a seal made and are claiming its mil spec because of materials involved?

Looks to be a misleading brand name.

I didn’t know the US Military ran 4G63s…

I did these on my evo after performing a boost leak test, Funny how such a little part can leak soo much.

That is actually the name. Quick search on evom and you’d find it. Pretty sure emery doesn’t make these. Good product none the less.

LOL new M1A Tank powered by the 4G63T.

Nice. :roflpicard: That’s just the name of the product, kids.

There, found their product logo.

they aren’t to blame. MIL SPEC is a designation giving something built to military specifications, that “product name” was meant to imply/deceive.

:tup: i use these seals in my TB

True.

But I don’t care if they are called POOP.SPEC… if it fixes a boost leak and finds 20hp I’m happy! :grouphug:

Thank you!

haha
i loled
might end up getting one
ill let you know

haha! You coming for the RochDSM meet / STM dyno day Sunday @ noon?

This was on my list of things to do! Great price, and nice to have them in stock local. I will be picking up a set :tup:

id love to but i think im going to have to miss this and make it to the next one :frowning:
i currently have no wheels on my car and they are getting powdercoated tomorrow
unless i can switch some things around and the car isnt on the road yet so id have to trailer it
so yeah i dk
i would love to go though…

Seems like some serious false advertising…

:tup:

not blaming STM at all.

Just wondering what marketing genius thought that one up.

What’s up with you dude? STM is not the only place that sells these “mil-spec” throttle body seals. It’s also not the only “mil-spec” product advertised on EvoM for that matter. Once again it’s probably a marketing gimmick. Someone obviously has a hard on for emery and the STM crew…
