indeed that's where the pholenic gaskets come in.
Next Project: Ideal throttle body size?
- Thread starter L_RAO
- Start date
Hey, Tim Bromley checking in on you. Good to see you did a new clutch - the old OEM clutch was a pile. Let me know what it looked like when you took it off. I'm interested if it looked burnt? When going slow in stop and go traffic it would overheat the clutch and it would start slipping. As soon as it cooled down it was fine again - weird.
I like what you're doing - a real pioneer effort with all this naturally aspirated stuff - that's just the way I'd want it if I had the where withall to take on a project like that. All the best! Am excited to see what happens when you get it all sorted out and how much additional power you generate but mostly what the seat of the pants feels like to you!
Keep up the good work. I love mods like this!

Hi Tim,
Never had a problem with the old clutch - I upgraded when I was able to pick up a 4.23/short-geared transmission for a reasonable price. I sold the OEM clutch and as far as I know that person has not had a problem with it. It did not look like it was in too bad of shape.
The intake manifold / throttle body project will hopefully be it for a while, but probably not...

Any updates?
Yes we are making a manifold upgrade package.
The car and intake manifold are both at Applied Motorsports right now. We needed a B-series TPS (we tried re-using the NSX TPS without success) and have a couple on the way in the mail right now.
Still in the small tweaks stage.
We got a B-series TPS to work and then Nick had to:
(a) shave off a stub off the throttle body
(b) re-plumb one of the vacuum fittings from a straight to a 90-degree
The final thing we are working on is the throttle cable guide/bracket. So hopefully Nick will tell me tomorrow that we are done.

Sorry, but this thread should have been continued with the "8/14/13" update thread.
