Interesting... I like the Intake. Looks nice... but it's damn expensive.

 

i think they are 2.5 inch but i heard the the way they fit is wrong, it has rubbing issues, and the custom 3" doest... so ive heard

its not bad... intake and spacer combo 300

are you going to the c-bus meet?

 

Want to... have plans to.

As long as my car is running right. (See sig)

 

Correct me if im wrong but isn't the first generation of injen intakes piping 3 inches?? I know that injen made them thinner since last year but I do have the old one : )..

 

i have no idea if they changed them or not... if you have a 3" than just invest in the spacer

nice ill see you there then

 

I WORK AT A GM DEALER, DO YOU HAVE THE PART NUMBER? ILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO

 

was there any dyno's posted for this?

 

"We took a throttle body off a chevy Colorado 4.2L and using an adapter plate attached it to the stock supercharger. This new TB is 3.5" giving the ability for more air flow.
Results showed 1.5psi increase in boost and 2 lb/hr increase flow through the MAF sensor. We will have dyno results soon. From the butt dyno we can definitely see an increase in the lower end, more of a kick when you stomp on it.
Also we had the throttle hooked up to our full 3" intake all stainless steel and powder coated (this is a good item for anyone who has seen wear marks in their aluminum intake)"
-quote, "rebel auto".

 

ok so the injen is 2.5 from what i understand is a little to small for the bigger TB so my understanding on this is i would have to buy the REBEL 3'' custom intake for $300(wow thats steep), the spacer for $50 not bad considering they origionally wanted $100 but its still just a spacer for $50, and then i would have to buy the actual bigger TB for around $150 new or prob $40-50 from a junk yard and then pay for a tune...

thats like $500 (with a new TB)...then going to have to pay to have it tuned cost from 100 to 250?

so over all with new TB, spacer, intake, and tune were looking at prices from $600-750 if im even going to think about doing this i want to see so solid dyno numbers i mean i can spend $50-55 for a smaller pulley and get 1.5lb boost out of it...

i think i speek for everyone when i say we are going to need some solid dyno numbers to consider this...(if anyone thinks im way wrong just tell me and i will listen to what they have to say i appreciate any information i can get) and im sorry if it seems like im flaming on anyone i dont mean to im sorry and i know you guys at rebel are good guys and have good products...but anyway i want to say thanks to REBELAUTOWORX for putting us another product out there its great to have options

 

not worth the money man.. trust me... you might be looking at 5-10hp tops... if this setup.. TB + spacer came together for about 250 TOTAL, then it would be a descent deal thats practical.

 

looks promising, i knew about this tb swap for about a month or two, just didnt have the funds to try it

 

i would be more than happy to test, tell, and give pics but i dont have it yet

 

dyno numbers or bust

 

thats 100% what im saying you are wasting all that money for so little of gains its not worth it you can do so many more things with that much than this and only get 5-10HP tops...its not my decision though everything does things diffrently for the people who go for it good luck and hope it works out good but im not going for this one that much of a gain isnt worth the money to me...like acidangel said if the TB and the spacer came together for 200-250 tops and the intake was only around 150-200 as a package deal i would be all over this...just consider this before you guys buy...

 

Is the fujita intake 3" piping? All I hear is the injen is 2.5"...what about the others?

 

if it was only a gain of 5 to 10 horse then i wouldnt be happier than a pig in **** and keep mashing my foot to the floor, gains were felt and the car darts like a bat outta hell, PERIOD.

 

just curious, why is there an increase in boost from this TB mod?

 

Yeah, I'm thinkin that we really don't need any more boost. Would actually be better if the boost dropped, but was more efficient

 

The Spacer made at Rebel, DOES NOT act like the Throttle Body Spacer everyone keeps finding on ebay. It does not have grooves in the inside to spin the air, yadda yadda yadda.

It is simply a spacer made to be an adapter plate.

By all means, try to install the 4.2L TB on your charger, let us know how things go when the butterfly opens only 25% and hits the mouth of your charger. And you go in to limp mode.

The spacer was made specifically to accommodate the larger butterfly in the 4.2L TB so it wouldn't hit the charger.

Yes it looks like the one in that pic, but was machined different to act as an extension of the larger TB rather than a spacer.

You can attempt to buy the ebay spacers, which are the like the ones mentioned on that webpage, go ahead, the webpage is 100% correct, throttle body spacers WITH GROVES TO SPIN THE AIR are as useless as **** on a bull. But that's not what we made here.

The extra power and HP we feel DOES NOT come from the TB spacer. It comes from the fact that you are putting on a TB that is a half inch larger, thus allowing WAY more air, a huge amount more, in to your charger and engine. And the fact that we have the spacer/adapter on there give the M62 more room to bank the air, so when you stomp on it, and make boost, there is extra air there with no delay. Resulting in a noticable amount of "pep".

 

Nice response and great info there. But...Will this mod actually increase the boost?? That is not something that we really need, considering that the M62 is peaking efficiency range at 20psi and we are hitting that with a 2.7 pulley on a chilly evening. Just looking to do all my research before purchasing ya know

 

the spacer is for people who are lazy and who want to bolt on and go.

 

ironic the guys looking most for this mod are still out of the loop>the 2.4 crowd.

 

Or those who are running larger pullies then a 2.7. With a 2.9 and cooling mods along with a bigger TB your looking at more boost without decreasing the pulley size. To me this means less heat and more boost and more air flow on a larger size pulley. = safer from what I understand.

 

Well I would buy this if I could get the reprogram for the puter.

 

I want in on this
