Super90 Oversized Throttle Body Upgrade

Hi guys.

Yesterday i just changed my standard throttle body to super90 oversized throttle body for my MIVEC. The size is 70mm, which is 10mm more than the standard throttle body. I made up my mind to go for super90 throttle body because of its quality. Other than that, i've already tested it on my previous 4g93 non MIVEC setup and all i can say it is worth the price.

Some of the pictures during the throttle body installation....



the superhero - super90 billet throttle body


need to take out the intake and then port and match it with the size of the new throttle body which is 70mm. This process is very important ; if the intake is not port and match then you wont feel any increments from this throttle body upgrade.

the installation was quite plug and play. i think i took more pictures of the process but i dont know where all of them gone!

voila!

After that, my mechanic checked the air fuel ratio by innovate wideband kit. This is very important because we can know the air fuel mixture. If it is too lean then it will be dangerous for the engine and if it too rich it will reduce the engine performance and the engine will become fuel guzzler. So, with this kit, my mechanic tuned the engine to the correct air fuel mixture.

The outcomes? YES! the throttle body upgrade and tuning do wonders. I can really feel the increments. I'm so happy since once again the money that i spent is worth it after all. So, i would like to recommend this upgrade for those who already planned to upgrade the throttle body. BUT, i would like to stress that bigger doesn't necessarily means better. Consult your mechanic first whether the throttle body upgrade is suitable for your engine setup :)

Regards.

Bodyworks & Respray

Hi guys.

Last 2 weeks i sent my car for bodyworks. I made the decision because my car body was in bad condition especially my front lip and the roof. Apart from that, the car color was faded. So, i think it is time for me to give the car a fresh look like years ago.

I chose the same color like last time since blue is my favorite color. If you guys wondering what is this color code, well the name of the color is passion blue code A0101. Below are all the pictures of the progress.


the body condition......

a lot of bodyworks....

body check

rear view

undercoating.......

voila!

Btw, i am very happy with the result. The car looks like new and like what i asked for. So, whats next?

Regards.

Secret Weapon : Raceland Exhaust Electric Cut Out

Hi guys.

Here is some update. Actually last month i ordered 'Exhaust Electric Cut Out' which produce by Raceland. I asked my friend to get it shipped from US to Malaysia last month and it arrived yesterday. Below are some pictures of the electric cut out.


inside the box


wiring and remote control


hero of the story, the electric cut out, complete with piping :)


catalogue... for future reference :P

Woke up early today to fix this exhaust cut out. yeah. thank god the exhaust shop that i always visit doesn't close today, yeah on christmas :P if not then i have to go another day which i think i might be busy...



this is how to install it


need to do some adjustment to the piping since the exhaust cut out is quite big...

sorry i forgot to take the picture when the welding job finished. too busy looking at other performance parts in the shop :P

some video taken from youtube if you guys still dont get how this thing works :)



and below is my video. Sorry for the lousy video quality. Just using camera phone.



Can you guys spot the difference in sound? yeah. These are some of the benefits - this cut out enables us to bypass the muffler hence increasing horsepower and giving car an extremely throaty rumble. Since you all know that i'm using s-flow type muffler so, my high end power is quite suffocated. After i installed this cut out, my high end power is improving a lot since there is no more restriction in the flow but the low end power i can say drop a bit. The good thing using this cut out is, i can choose wether to use my standard setup or free flow setup. Cool isnt it? I think i wont have any issue with the authority since i can now have the ability to control the sound of my exhaust :)

Regards!

p/s: this 'weapon' is very effective in drag race :P
