Throttle body

Do we share a throttle body with the EVO?

No. Ours is throttle-by-wire, theirs has the throttle cable connected directly to it.

Theirs *might* bolt up, but it's not the same.

the only thing you can do with our tb is take it off your car for a week give it to someone who knows how to bore it out and add a larger butterfly flapper on it .this will only give you better throttle response no horse power and i think the ralliart has enough throttle response ,its pretty peppy.i would only enlarge it if i had a larger intake manifold.

I have yet to see someone who is able to bore out throttle body. Boring it would most likely damage the sensors in it. RPW claims to have a larger one coming up, but not sure where it's coming from.

I am sure our machine shop could do the work although I cannot say it would get you anything. I asked RRM about this a long time and they said it was not worth it.

I would not want to kill a TB by something not going right. EVO TB's have been done for a while now.
