Has ayone else after swapping noticed, quicker throttle response, more oomph in the bottom end, However less of an oomph when MIVEC kicks in?

muscles · April 13th, 2011, 10:09 AM

that doesn't sound good. Wouldn't think this would happen with just a gt swap...I am curious to see what other members have to say about this who have had the swap in for a while. It might just be your imagination? lol hopefully.

Well with the increased volume of air, it could be that there is less of a difference in air intake. Meaning you already taking in so much air before MIVEC that the increase when MIVEC kicks is not a noticble difference

muscles · April 13th, 2011, 10:16 AM

werd that does make sense. Wonder when other members will chirp in about this.

When I had my fujita before the turbo I used to pretend that was one spooling

I know exactly what sound you're talking about! Love it

On topic: do you think it would hurt me? I have been wanting it for a while now I just can't afford anything atm. I understand how it would be biger sucking in more air no effecting higher rpms as much. Is it a super big notice or just something you wouldn't feel unless you looked for it?

akley88 · April 13th, 2011, 11:36 AM

i thought it was just the spacer i had on the tb that was doing it

dont think it would hurt,couldnt tell you if it was a SUPER kind of deal,butt dyno said i felt some difference and that was good enough for me.beings how you have the im resonator plugg'd.

then no,you wont feel a difference cause as i stated in the other thread,once i plugged that res,i could no longer hear my intake suckin air at the said rpm range.if i were you,i would slap that thing back on there and see what happens.id bet you get some more power,especialy with that turbo.i think your losing the potential.trust me,if it wasnt for the mivec AND that resonator,this car would REALLY be slow.more air is more air and that res shoots it into the piston chambers.the tb is working great with my other mods so yes,i would get it.

DarkSidEclipse · April 13th, 2011, 12:58 PM

Yeah I know what you are talking about. With Fujita, and the GT TB it sound boosted even when your not

3CL1PS3 · April 13th, 2011, 03:38 PM

my highway cruising is more impressive along with my lower end after the swap and i didnt use the spacer. it whistles a lot now and sounds really cool

groundpounder · April 13th, 2011, 06:43 PM

I love mine the increase of air volume is whey it might feel diff but the end result is the same

Being boosted yes you should definitely get a GT TB

darius5150 · April 18th, 2011, 01:34 PM

My question is does it throw a light? And also I have an Injen CAI on and will it match up? I will be getting thermal spacers.

akley88 · April 18th, 2011, 01:39 PM

it doesnt throw a code and there shouldnt be an issue with the cai

groundpounder · April 18th, 2011, 01:39 PM

No light and yes it will match up.

snakeeyes · April 18th, 2011, 01:40 PM

^beat me to it lol

muscles · April 18th, 2011, 02:27 PM

Gotta dig up that site to order one of these

haladafs · April 18th, 2011, 02:29 PM

I wish i got to install mine lol, someone had a video of it and it sounded so awesome

darius5150 · April 18th, 2011, 02:31 PM

Yes the only thing your changing, is the inner diameter of the TB part that connects to the intake, and shortening the length. Everything else is the same Just remember to reset the idle, and complete a drive cycle

dark dont you have a write up on the gt tb installation?

muscles · May 5th, 2011, 10:08 PM

i now know what yall are talking about. Definitely sound boosted with a whistle like sound. Don't really notice mivec, but the response is a night and day difference.

Daxenth · May 5th, 2011, 10:28 PM

i havent been stock in so long i couldnt tell you. i did notice the quicker response but that was all i cared for at the time

muscles · May 5th, 2011, 10:38 PM

the only thing i need now is the header. And i will really be able to feel everything together

I cant imagine driving a stock gs now.

Alain0124 · August 5th, 2011, 10:47 PM

akley88 · August 6th, 2011, 10:09 AM

our car only has 1 cam and rre doesnt sell theirs any more atleast thats what they told me. rpw is your only choice for a brand new cam. it currently cost 636 bucks plus shipping from Australia.
