Other gt tb models?

[2fast4u]

Ive done a search and didnt find a definative answer for my question. What other mitsu models and years have the gt tb that has the same bolt pattern as the gs? I figure that other models that have the 3.8 L v6 such as the galant and diamonte and such would have them but who knows? I need to know because for my birthday my wife is letting me get a gt tb and a sri. In an effort to get the tb inexpensively (45$) ive gone to pick n pull and got a list of all the mitsus they have with a 3.8 L v6. Before i waste hours in the junk yard this weekend id like to know. Any help would be very much appreciated.

[Daxenth]

galant, diamonte, proflow. all you got bro

[2fast4u]

Thanks man, any info on the years? They gave me a list from 90-08

[Daxenth]

whichever share the same GT engine. im assuming 06+ but dont quote me on that. i have a GS and my GT tb exploded... (nitrous detonation)

[2fast4u]

Damnit driver, go easy my friend. Hey another question, since this fucker runs richer than bill gates in nikes will this prospectively make it run leaner (in theory) or will the ecu compensate and just dump more fuel in?

[Daxenth]

god you know your shit. lol. that idk either. but i have no SES light. so im sure the ECU compensated somewhere. although... your theory seems logical. CAI= More air= better ratio? idk

[2fast4u]

When you first put yours on did you have that all too familiar rough idle (till you reset the ecu) as is common with massive induction increases? 15MM tb plate diameter increase as well as the less restrictive sri? I figure my hp increase will be about 11 since the sri boasts 7-11 and the tb 10-12 but of course those numbers are with all other corrosponding mods so i took the average of both added together and divided by the number of mods and drivetrain loss

[Daxenth]

my mind= blown...

it had a slight chug. even after the ecu relearned. it is what it is though man. i ran with it and deff felt more power with the intake then, than i do now. made it louder too

[2fast4u]

Whooooooooot!!!! Screeeeech!!! vroooooom!! Thats what im hoping for. But what ill hear is
Whooooooooot!!!!, chirp chirp whaaoooh (tcs kicking in) vroom, why do you have to drive that fast!? I wanna get there but i wanna get there alive! I knew i should have driven! (the wife) Sir, do you know why i pulled you over? (the trooper/sherrif/local cop or other government official that ddidnt have his donut that day...

[Daxenth]

thats how it was with my ex. *goes 10 over* OMG YOUR GONNA KILL US. this is why we always take MY car. so I can drive and not get us killed. omg your music sucks. why do you have to do stupid things to your car? dont take off that fast it hurts my head. Jeff Stop driving like an idiot *intake tweets and squeals* your car sounds stupid your gonna blow it up one day (she was actually right) you put HOW MUCH INTO THIS THING?! *chirps and peels out slightly* "whoop whoop" sir you know you were going 10 over rofl.

[2fast4u]

Shit! Do they know eachother? They must be comparing notes. Its better than the time i got caught going 50 over in a 65 in a kia rio. The trooper actually yelled at me.

[Daxenth]

wow dude. 50 over? thats so intense. please tell me it was like a school zone right after a highway or something

[2fast4u]

The correct answer to the one posed by your ex is more money then ill spend on you bitch, i loved it before you and ill love it after you. Then you get your buddys to pull the gnarelling, scratching, ranting (in between nonsensicle blathering sobbing) bitch off of you. But if theyre good buddys theyll just laugh and give you shit for it later.

[2fast4u]

Naw, on the highway on the way to work. I drive a truck so the judge sought mercy on me since i have an impeccable driving record

[Daxenth]

nah i loved her to death. she hated cars but she was a great girl.. anyway lol that sucks but good thing you got off clean. id hate to see that fine

[2fast4u]

565 bones. Reduced.

[Daxenth]

O_O

[2fast4u]

Anyhoo back on topic, where will i see/feel the beest difference in power along the powerband? Will i feel a noticable difference once i pass ludicrous speed into mivec speed?

[Daxenth]

3k rpm is when you feel it. your not gonna feel any lower end power (maybe a bit cause the throttle is more responsive) but once you pass 3k you feel it all through mivec. every mod is felt best through mivec

[2fast4u]

Yeah, i hardly feel mivec now but i guess thats because my car is bone stock but i feel a slight tug after 4k and hear a difference, but thats about it. I love how throaty this car sounds. Especially when i take off the front part of the box at the track. Then i feel mivec

[2fast4u]

And where the hell can i get paint matching eyelids and for how much?

[Daxenth]

autocityimports.com. and ask if they can paint for you. or autokits X on here does them. also. yeah. bone stock means your mivec is a pussy lol go full bolt on and youll see what i mean. or ill come down and give you a spin and youll know what a GS is supposed to pull and sound like

[2fast4u]

Whatcha got on yours?

[Daxenth]

Fujita CAI, RRE Headers, Maggy exhaust, RRE UD Pulley and a shot of giggle gas. working on getting another GT TB too lol

[2fast4u]

once i slap my 351w mustang back together ill go full bolton, threw a rod. Have it torn apart now. How much power your gs pushing? (non giggle gas numbers)

[Daxenth]

prolly closer to 175-180

[2fast4u]

I figure after i get all those irons i have in the fire hammered out ill get underdrive, msd blaster packs, colder plugs, rre headers, larger exhaust pipes 2.5" (i like how the stock muffler sounds throaty and not rice), And ill have my buddy lathe some lighter pulleys for the other accessories. And the wideband fi/c more than likely in that order. Then ill probably have to stop or face divorce. $$ you know. But for now after 5 mo of having this car i convinced my wife to let me get the tb and sri this weekend.

[Daxenth]

lmao. got a long road ahead of you man

[2fast4u]

That to the wheels or is that to the crank?

[muscles]

Should be to the wheels.

[snakeeyes]

the gt tb had me confused after i first put it on because the intake started sucking more air at 3k rpms in 95 degree heat.when its below the 90's not so much just smooth pulling. i originally thought that was when mivec kicked in because thats where the pull started.come to find out,4k rpms is when mivec starts so it was a surprise realizing the gt tb was not a placebo effect .you can allso put a small breather filter on the ccv in the summer time to avoid extra heat going into your intake tube if YOUR ecu will allow it lol.i say this because i have not had anymore idle dips since the small filter install in 95 degree heat where the idle would sometimes dip.winter time though,it will be hooked back up to the intake tube for various reasons.the interstate is where the gt tb shines imo.

[2fast4u]

ok, so i have an sri. HOWEVER i have rough idle and very slow throttle response. no ses light. it seems i have loss of power but i believe its due to heat soak. that bastard is hot as kim kardashian in the sahara. sounds fuckin beasty but it seems ive LOST power untill mivec kicks in whooooooooot. any body else notice a loss of torque? ive done reset the ecu, let it idle for ten min and still same shit. i guess ill wait untill i go to work tonight as the engine cools off. heeeeeeelp!!!!! see avatar for pic of new sri looking at yours snakeeyes i see that your maf is farther away from the filter, i have a 90deg elbow that may remedy the problem. ill try a couple of things and let you all know how i hammer it out.

[stangcobra]

SRI have a propensity to heat up because of their proximity to the radiator fans, you may actually lose a little torque but make up for it in horsepower. That being said if you dont like the feel just switch to a CAI

you should have utilized the stock box and snorkel.no loss of power here over stock !


edit;where is your maf sensor located ?

[2fast4u]

perhaps i have the maf too close to the filter, having rough airflow over the sesnor may cause it to freak the fuck out varying fuel compensation. whatya think? if so ill just install the elbow. i still have my stock box so i can fiddle a little.

[snakeeyes]

the maf being too close IS one thing,but that filter needs sheilding and the help of the snorkel feed.i pm'd you.if your serious,i will help you out.

[snakeeyes]

another thing,if you'll notice on the aftermarket intakes,the place that holds the maf sensor.that section is smaller than the rest of the pipe letting ALL the air flow go over the maf.i have this setup except im using the oem maf tube which has worked out very well for me.IF your maf sensor doesnt sit in the tube like it does with my custom setup or the after market tube setups,this could be another reason why your idle is acting up because there is too much space inbetween the tube and the maf.i highly suggest you do it exactly like mine or go cai.it sure would have been nice if k&n would have made a sri for the gs so i wouldnt have had to do all the damn experimenting ive had to do lmao
