I like it... poor mans throttlebodies(y).

I love this car but the color change is a real bummer. Should have started with a canary yellow.

How would that even work?

Agent935 · 11-30-2006, 08:42 AM

looks like he's running an aftermarket ecu or piggybsck to use a map sensor and eliminate the AFM

That's too funny!!

RichyVRLimited · 12-02-2006, 08:15 AM

was thinking of doing that myself.

doesn't half sound knarly with all the intake restrictions removed!

Ive seen a few hachis set up like that. its cool... its cheaper than itb's, you get better response, and great noise... Im still waiting to hear punchline.

Keith Tanner did something similar to Baby... ran a Link and bolted a cone filter on to a pipe to the intake manifold.

I don't know about "poor man"...he had to at least buy an ECU to get rid of his AFM...

leatherface24 · 12-04-2006, 10:44 AM

Yeah but how well would that work? Aside from the obvious noise, is there any real performance gain to warrant that? I thought about doing that a while ago but never got around to it.
