Yea there is that trick. Did you also know that below the throttle body there is a black plastic shim that sits between the TB and manifold? Its actaully a restricter, you can pull it out and dremel it so it matches the TB diameter.
that i didn’t know i might have to try that tomorrow. so that i can get a little more than a couple more hp cause i could use anything cause theres only 70 hp stock on the d15b2
yea i did actually know both of those things but im not to worried about it cuz im converting to mpfi as soon as i get the car back on the ground
very nice

I have and daily drive the ACT 6-puck spring (non-extreme). I like it, but I don’t drive in stop and go traffic all the time. I think it might be a bit too much for that…
You probably know this, but I’m not sure of the quality of the various units on ebay: don’t scrimp on the quality of your oil lines. There’s a potential engine fire waiting to happen when you use low-quality fittings and lines for oil.
For BOV, you want R, S or RS?
Does XS Power Systems == SS Autochrome?
Are you going with bi-metal or tri-metal engine bearings?
well for the bov the rs… i dont know about the bearings they are just acls of tuner toys… and i know a few people on other forums running the function ebay oil line kits no problems
well i cleaned up my block a bit today amazing what simple green and a walmart hose power washer adapter will do…
before
after…
all bagged up for later use…
sorry for the poopy camera phone pics my digi is dead right now
looks good. It looks like you’ve come along way
yea def… just watchout for updates i will have pistons and rids ny the end of aprill the hopefully have enough for bearings and the machining before i start work in the summer
