No, no, I didnt know you would be gone all year!!

 

Thanks, man! And yeah, this LR 2.4L is becoming quite popular. I have every supporting mod power wise that I need, which is nice because all I have to do is bolt a bigger turbo on if I want to make more power.

Also, that is very good to know about getting 220V, as it's something that I'll have to do fairly soon .

EGT indeed .

Yep, all the way out in Indiana .

 

Intake manifold didn't come with bolts? That's cool......

Ultra Grey - Good work, better than the orange ****. I would of preferred Honda-bond or Mitsu-bond but whatev's.

 

I don't think Curt has sold too many that use the FullBlown TB, so I wasn't angry that he didn't include them. I spoke with him and he's going to include them for future folk who use FullBlown TBs!

However, nothing fits..at all. I have no motivation left for this piece of ****.

TB is too wide. Hits fuel rail fitting. I think I'm going to have to get a new elbow welded on the UICP because it sits too far inside the TB, but that was to be expected with the flange on the IM.

This car is going to ****ing sit in my garage for a long, long time.

 

Ah thats sucks

 

Dam man, your so close. Don't give up now.

 

I know. I officially ran outta time though. Oh well.

Winter I'm doing a suspension build and I'll address this at that point.

 

I'm looking at doing the exact same setup, didn't you have to get a specific bolt/stud to make it work. I have a factory return line hopefully mine will clear

 

Yep. I had to get Stainless bolts from McMaster. M8x1.25x75mm.

It should perform very well, however, it's a pain to clear.

 

I'll go ahead and jump in here and say curt didn't do anything wrong with the intake manifold. My manifold is still on a stock flange that I've welded and ported to match the 70mm fullblown TB. It is EXTREAMLY close on mine as well however there is no way you can run a straight fitting off the rail, Like you have done. A 90, 60, maybe a 45 should work perfectly fine for you.

Let me know if you need a picture of what I'm talking about. Now I can't say the thickness of the flange didn't have to do with the ic piping fitting the way it does. We have used a few of these throttle body's and never had any fittment issues.

I didn't mean for it to sound like Curt did something wrong. Everything he did is great. I was just frustrated about how the throttle body didn't clear my fuel rail specifically.

I refer Curt's products to half the people on this forum, I surely don't mean to sound like I was bashing .

I'll grab a 90* and some more line.

I worked the entire summer every day on this car in one way or another and didn't even get to drive it over 3K RPMs, so it was a bit frustrating as because of the TB not fitting I can't even drive it before I leave for school, that's all.

 

If I lived in PA man I would have given ya a hand and we could of had it running for you. My uncle lives in PA so I end up going down there quite a lot.

Once I get my car together I'm going to be taking a drive down there. If you happen to be home from school and need a hand I will be most likely around Levit town which is where my uncle lives.

 

Collin,
Do you have experience with this setup on a stock return line? Meaning if it would clear?

 

EVOM is gay, double post.

 

Take off the fitting and put a 30 degree on it, at most a 45. Put the fitting on facing 7-7:30 and it will still look clean and work just fine. Throttle body includes bolts to go through about 10-14mm of flange, why did you need different bolts in the first place? Let me guess the flange isn't threaded......
