tb mod quick q???

s on fc3s forum under the tbmod the guy said by plugging the vacum hose on the double throttle atuator, i will simulate what the engine will run like after taking the double throttle butterfly plates off. is this true or am i just blocking up one of the throttle valves?


oh ya, and is there any performance gain in removing the acv or is that just for space and emiss. redux?

On an NA, it's mostly to simplify the TB & make it easier to work on..

On a turbo the secondary double throttle opens slowly all the time, even after warm up.
So removing it helps throttle response.

And if you're gonna go that far(if you have a turbo) you may as well take the ol dremel tool and port/polish a little.

Is that why my TII is really jumpy when trying to cruise? it has tb mod done, and i have to eeeease into and outof the throttle to avoid a mild whiplash, lol

It probably contributes to that problem. But on the other hand both my 7s do that too, to an extent, and i chose not to do that mod cause i think it is bad enough and i didnt need any more throttle response. You do learn how to drive so you can avoid the jerking when going over parking lot speed bumps and ****. Most older manual sports cars i've driven are the same way the 7 is pretty bad tho. I wonder if my turbo will get worse once i get a better clutch.

These cars just werent meant to go slow.
