Hey all i am rather new to modifying cars..actually my lancer is the first one...and anyway i was browsing the RRM site and noticed that they had throttle bodies for the lance and i was wondering if anyone could tell me exactly what these do for the car.

Thumbs up throttle body

What's up man- welcome to the forums.
I got the RRM throttle body-and it kicks ***!

Basically, RRM takes your stock throttle body and bores it about 4 to 6 millimaters bigger, which is the biggest they could go-because of design limitations.

A throttle body lets more air into your engine, which the oxygen sensor picks up on, and it turn adjusts your fuel flow. More air+more fuel=more hp! With intake and good exhaust you'll have a damn quick lancer. Note: I said quick-not fast.

thanks...i was wondering what kind of hp we were looking at here. Also i was looking around the forums and saw some people talking about port and polshing and i was wondering what this was all about as well.

Thanks for the help

interesting

Since i have my intake and exhaust installed, im looking at this throttle body next. How hard is the install for the RRM throttle body?? 280 for the whole thing?

i looked for any reviews on it, but could not find it
any help on the result of it would be nice

any estimate on hp gain or if it makes the car sound nicer?

thanks

I got my T.B. installed at RRM, but it didn't look that hard to install. Just remember how everything goes back on. I saw an excellent increase in hp and was pleased will my well spent money. I didn't notice any change in sound, because I had exhaust and intake already. hope that answers your questions!
