I think it would help everyone out a lot and clear up confusion since this post has gotten pretty large.
That would be nice. I'd gladly move it to How To and sticky it.

I have converted!! The sound is amazingly different. The intake sound from my cai sounds alot more potent. I also made my coolant lines run into one another to keep the tb cool. I havent gone a long distance with it but everytime I do go somewhere I cant but help to floor the pedal. A+ upgrade for the price. Also, if you run your coolant lines into one another just make sure before winter you switch them back to running into the tb.

What would you think is the most you could safely bore it and would it be possible to fit a 1g or 2g TB to it? I'm trying to check other options for TB other than a bored stock one.

Ordered mine today. 1997 1.8L intake manifold, $55 shipped to my door. So the only things I need to hook this up are:

1) Two additional short bolts (match to the shorties already on the TB)
2) Custom bracket for throttle cable
3) Vacuum hose
4) Paint (optional)

Am I missing anything?

EDIT: Just FYI, I'm going to stop by the local dyno shop and set up an appointment with Stage 1 setup with stock IM. Then I'm getting test pipe (tried to get cat off yesterday, rusted in place) and custom mid-pipe installed and I'll put in the bored IM and bored fuel rail. Then I'll get dynoed again and see what happens.

We've been over this before. Rhyzin has been trying to get this to work for a while now and I think he gave up. The DSM TB has something different with it for throttle position sensor I think (run a search through this thread for "TB"). Maybe you could get a Mirage TB for cheap and have it bored out and a custom butterfly valve made for the new bore. Might end up being cheaper than RRM TB.

EDIT: I was wrong, look up a few posts and you'll see Rhyzin couldn't get his apart or something. Supa Tek seems to be trying, but he hasn't posted in a while.

I ran a search for each Mirage year compatible (for some reason the "interchange" seems to think they are not all compatible), emailed the places that had the lowest price or no price and asked for quoted shipped to my door. Easy.
