Talking Thermoblok installed...

Relatively easy install. IMO, the hardest part was cleaning the old gasket material off and pulling the damn hoses.

Thanks to Edddie for the extra hand. I will post pictures in a short bit. Though the kit comes with instructions, a picture install is always helpful, so I'll post that up too.

I cleaned the TB while everything was apart. The response is so much better!

The butt dyno is definitely there, WOW. I'm very impressed and would highly recommend this cheap mod.

What did you use to clean the TB? That's not a bad idea since you have it taken apart, already.

We used "Throttle Body Cleaner." You can get it at any auto store.

How long did the install take you? Did you use all the materials that came with the kit or was there something that you were able to reuse?

About 2-2.5 hours. You use all the materials, there is nothing you reuse.

E-manage is a must...

My A/F was between 11.0:1 and 12:0:1 on the dyno so plenty of fuel with just the HBP. Actually it didn't lean out to 12.0:1 until 7,000 rpm.

I'd think you'd need more fuel via 7th injector, e-manage, etc.

You going to spray direct port?

I'm wondering how things would hold up if I shot a small (35) shot directly into the IC at the track...

BTW, I pulled a OBD Code after the install on my test drive... P1399 (Random Cylinder Misfire/Ignition Control System); this was in 3rd gear around 5200RPM. The check engine light started blinking then went away.

I scanned and reset the code. No problems since.

Do you guys think it was an ECU adjustment problem?

LOL at this point what's another $500?

I probably won't do it. But i'm curious to see if it would hold up.

I'm sure if I didn't swap the blower pulley it would hold up fine.

Just did an "under the hood feel." Wow, the IM and TB are nearly cold to the touch with the engine warmed up and on. The combination of the JetHot, Mugen mods, and Thermoblok has seriously cut come underhood temps. My busy ass needs to get a dyno.

I was wondering who's hand that was. Figured Dustin brought in a professional hand model for this. I haven't seen a hand like that since George Costanza was at his peak.
