as the title suggests, what does it take to convert the standard TB into a monoblade TB? is it worth it, or should i just go with a 58mm?

note... i have autotap and tuner cats on the way so i will be able to tune for it.

y dont you just buy a monoblade? converting seems hard. and for wat you hav i think the 58mm is fine

impaled

i thought you had to do some cutting on the inatake manifold or something for the monoblade?

i am sure 58mm would be fine, but am more or less curious about a monoblade.

o yea on the manifold ul hav to grind it all out for the monoblade to work kinda lik gasket match it only ull be takin a big chunk off

impaled

should i just go 58mm for now than and not worry about it as i dont have a cam or headers yet?

id actually reccomend headers first ul get a ton more power from them then u would a tb because u can only flow so much with the stock heads and all and with the 58mm the tb ports still need some porting out to match a 58mm although it does not need to be done its pointless to hav a 58mm tb if the tb pots r only 52mm

i gained maybe half a tenth wit the 58mm tb where as headers and exhaust gained me lik .6

TB should be way down the list if you dont have headers yet.

yea you'll be much much more happy spendin your 500 on headers rather then a tb

wont a stock 48mm throttle body support something like 400whp?

something lik that i no a monoblade flows somethin lik 1200-1300cfm which is alot for a motor makin lik 350hp

headers are in the works... eventually. i will probably pick up a nitrous kit first though.

Stock is good for around ~425HP. You be better off saving some money and getting a 54mm and then not worry about modding the intake for it. Put the $100+ saved by getting a 54 instead of a 58 (way more than $100 if you got a Mono) towards headers. The most inexpensive quality LT (Pacesetter) I think are only like $250-$275. Which is STILL cheaper than the 58mm new! It's getting into powder coating/ceramic/stainless that drive up the cost into the $400+ range.

You really really don't need a TB right now, and headers would be more worth the money over NOS.

Damn some guys in this thread text WAYYYYYYYYYYYY too much.

Anyway, no you dont need a monoblade until you get close to 600hp normally aspirated.

I think a 52mm TB is as big as you can go with no intake mods....do they even make a 54 mm?


Do the free mods
CAI
headers and y pipe
Catback
pullies
roller rockers
Converter
tune

This will wake it up.

U no u lyk it. Will u b my BFF 4evr?


I was going to say something about that, but decided not too haha

1. done.
2. done
3. now ordered headers. found a good deal. pacesetter lt's and ory
4. done.

5. pulleys will do next to nothing power wise. and i have researched it.

6. rockers will be done with a cam eventually

7. i am a T56. i already have a dual friction kevlar cluch in there

8. as stated in the beginning post i have autotap and tuner cats which arrive on monday.

Dumps into the plenum right behind the blade, the IAC circuit in the manifold is not used because the hump that connectsit to the TB get cut out.

Yes the stock manifold is already ported to handle a 52mm tb. Yes they make a 54 mm tb. It's an azspeed and marine. A stock throttle body can support around 400hp, and 475ish with a 52mm tb. A 58mm tb is more than enough for like 99.9% of cars. You do need to cut the manifold to make the monoblade work. The cutting and what not can be done with the manifold on the car but it much easier with it off.

sounds like some serious icft tuning is needed with a monoblade.
