Will I receive a gain or anythign from porting and polishing my 60mm b20 tb. I have ported my intake to match the tb, but would it help anything to port and/or polish my tb since the butterfly inside is only 60mm anyways.
I put this in the forced injection section because it is goin on a turbo z6.
I still dont see why port matching a tb to a intake mani isnt a good thing.
Everything I have read says if you upgrade the tb you need to port match the intake.
If your not goin to open up the intake opening then whats the point of getting a bigger tb.
The bigger the tb the more air it allows in. If the opening in the intake is the stock size you not goin to allow more air in and what does come in is goin to be more turbulent do to the fact its hitting the sharp edges of the intake mani opening.
While on the subject of port matching TB to IM can a z6 IM be bored to 62mm? Or should I save up for a Skunk 2 IM (since I am going to get one for some engine bay bling) and use my LS TB with that and use the stock z6 TB with the z6 IM till then?
I was able to port mine out to 60mm no prob. I am sure you could go further if you wanted to. I have still got approx 1/4" thick material where the flange transitions into the plenum.
Are your sure your LS is 62mm? I thought they where the same as the b20 at 60mm. Mine is a b20 tb.
Well for the anti-reversion the LS being 60mm the IM would have to be bored to 62mm correct? Awesome that the intake manifold can be opened up so much.
Any one have the thoughts on a Intake mani thats painted black? Will it cause probs with it being black. Probs like heat soak or anything.
I cleaned it but its all tarnished up and grayish looking. Not like clean aluminum. So I was thinkin flat black. Here is a pic of it as it sits right now. Or should I just leave it how it is?
You can see the color diff between the tb and the intake.
in for thoughts about boring the throttle body; wondering the same thing.
and for the intake mani, that looks pretty clean to me, i wouldnt paint it... it would be a pain in the ass to take off if it ever started flaking or whatever. plus i like the silver look anyways, if anything id hit it with a silver paint.
were talking about material properties not light absorption and it conducts the heat throughout the surface not radiating it... but thats not even the case here, were talking about paint. it wont have any negative effects on the manifold
no theres no way youd notice any difference... think about it, theres air passing through those pipes and the plenum... eventually through convection, the material starts to heat up as well; how would the color of paint on the outside of the material affect the air passing through on the inside? paint of any color will in no way help the aluminum radiate the heat back into the air any better, if anything your putting more of a blanket on it.
I noticed he said it made a diff on operating temps of a engine if engine was painted black so I was wondering if it would have the same effect on air if the pipes and mani where painted black.
Theoretically, it might make a small differance in temp.
But realisticly, you won't notice a thing.
I've heard that people used to paint their hoods black for the same effect.
Adding some good shrouding to the IC/Radiator will make more of a differentness on temperatures.
Could always add a hood cowl to let the heat out.
Hood tilt will have a negative effect. It's not going to allow air from the engine bay to flow out like you'd think it would. At least not at any kind of speed. A vent in the middle of the hood would allow the venturi effect to pull some heat from the bay, but it would have to be a proper design and not just some thing that looks cool.
This. What kind of power are you looking to make? And at what rpm range? Plenty of people have shown that good numbers can be made with stock TB, IM, and valvetrain.
I am lookin to make 350whp with my setup. RPM range not sure yet. I dont want it all at bottom end cause would suck to drive. I am going to be DD this when it is done.
Here is the setup:
JE/SRP 9.0:1 Pistons w/ JE rings 75mm
Eagle H beam rods
Stock Crank
ACL Race bearings
Air Research t3 60 trim
Edelbrock cast turbo mani
Custom 2.5" turbo back
Cometic 5 layer HG
DSM 510cc inj
Honda resistor box
Wally 190 lph (had brand new one layin around)
FMIC
Greddy BOV
Chipped p28 tuned with Crome
Innovate LC-1 Wideband
HKS EVC-S
Xenocron 3 Bar map
2.5" IC pipe
ARP Head studs
60mm b20 tb
B&M AFPR
I cant remember where or by who and how many people, but one of the sites I am on there where a few people recommending upgrading to the 60mm tb. I was thinking about doin the y8 mani but I am still not sure.
Its cool man. Also landed a deal today on 720cc inj so I am not goin to have to push these 510cc so hard. Anyone wannna buy them?
