Throttle body(HELP)
Omfg can someone please acknowledge me. I have a 2013 Lancer Es. I heard you and watched videos of people putting bigger throttle bodies on there Lancer. I wanted to know if you could put the Eclispe GT TB on my car. I believe it’s a 65 Mm measurement. I heard it’ll fit I just need longer hoses to hook on the nipples for there a little different. I believe the ES has a 50Mm measurement. I have the part ordered (fairly cheap) so I wanted to give it a shop but wanted to ask and see what y’all think of this. Thank you

Are you expecting a big power gain out of this? Have you upgraded your air filter already (I think you gain more from this since the filter is a bigger restriction)? For turbo cars, bigger TB helps to reduce the energy loss from smaller TB, but for NA engines, I don't expect much gain since the pressure difference between smaller and bigger TB isn't much at all.

Yeah I’ve upgraded to a cold air intake. Have headers on it. High flow full exhaust. So now I heard of the TB to upgrade it to bigger one so I wanted to try that. I saw a guy on another forum do it to his Es and said his throttle response increased a lot. But he didn’t do a GT Tb. He did a 4g96 one. So I was just wondering if the GT Tb will work.

Oh okay, yeah I understand it won’t be much of a difference.i just wanted my throttle response to be better and help a little for acceleration. I’m new to fixing up these types of cars so that’s why I’m asking a lot of questions. That’s also why I stuck to the easy stuff first like air flow. I know it’ll never be as fast as the Evo but what I have I am trying to figure out things to make it alittle meaner than stock.
