hmm... ur theory reasonable also... hmm...nope... if bigger bore, when the throttle plate opens... it opens bigger clearance and the air go in faster...
so if u are using bigger bore TB.. it is like u are stepping your original accelerator pedal faster or more... take for example... using stock TB... u press 10% throttle to accelerate... but on an oversized TB... u just press 5% for the same effect... so if u press the same amount of throttle with bigger TB... u get better response..
this is due to the rate of airflow is bigger with bigger throttle plate compared to the original TB.. this is very obvious and useful for engine with modded intake system like PnP and oversized pistons... the TB is very crucial to determine the VE (volumetric efficiency) of the engine, in my opinion.
i remember last time i read hypertune mag, an article on avantgarde's DC5... he using "forgot what" individual throttle body (not TODA) for its delicate throttle work... that unit has a larger spindle on the throttle line...
so back to ur theory "depressing abit opens alot"... doesnt ur throttle response feels like "on and off"??....
4 throttle must ask tofu d... he is using old skool 4 throttle unit...and from my explaination above... that reminds me of a 4-throttle intake system in some engines like the famous Toyota 4AGE with 4-throttle.... that means with 4 TB.. one TB for each cylinder... when u press the acclerator pedal... the arm will open 4 of the TB throttle plates...
the main point here is to greatly improve the VE of the engine... thats why a 4-throttle engine is always sound scary among car enthusiasts... well i have not drove one b4.. but i have heard many ppl praising this setup...

for a 4-throttle conversion.. usually the problem with most cars is the MAF sensor position... cos no more rampipe... unless u custom a intake plenum and a rampipe to filter.
this thread is getting interesting hehe..
Bump: btw.. yesterday nite got some free time... did port n polish to my 1.8 TB... Do u know what is bling bling??

whoa... datz very high level of bling...


even ur car is running MAP sensor, its not as easy as bolting on a ITB unit... ecu must be able to support it... what i heard normal piggyback ecu such as safc and emanage cannot support... most people i've seen converting 4g13/4g15 to ITB uses haltech ecu...
