Up on ebay
http://search.ebay.com.au/_W0QQsassZgurwinder351 claims around 18rwkw with both of them. Would it be worth the investment? It was for an EF, but never got fitted. Will probably end up at around $600 for both of them. So about $30/rwkw not bad  What does polishing the intake manifold and throttle body actually do? Does it just decrease the resistance to airflow or something?

I dont see 18rwkw from that. Buy it and find out?
I can't see you netting any gains from any throttle body work.(unless force fed) As for the manifold well.. I doubt it. The only real way to make power over the standard manifold and throttlebody set up is to go for a 6 individual throttlebody setup. But at $4000+ makes it out of reach for most. |

the TB is worth it, 200 bucks to get that done from someone (thats what ive been quoted, the manifold aint worth it, see what snort have on an upper manifold plenum ;)

SS Inductions stoped making the modded throttle bodies for the AU I6 because there was no power gain.

A bigger throttle body MIGHT gain something on a heavily worked 6, but not on a basic modded 6. So it makes sence not to bother with one unless your going for every last rwkw possible. |
