My collection of LTG parts...
I bought a selection of LTG parts for R&D and modification purposes, below are things I will be playing with in the future...
 Throttle body Intake manifold Down Pipe PCV tube Turbo TB inlet tube It looks like a great potential gain may be a ported throttle body, or a bigger throttle body. There is a lot of meat that can be safely removed in this little TB  I also may try sticking an LGX throttle body on the car to see what it does... I was hoping maybe to do a ported intake manifold like I do for the v6 cars, but there's really not much that can be done with it. it looks great on the inside, both sides.  Something else I'm going to play with is a high flow catted down pipe, hopefully I can keep the CEL off. I'd rather not go catless like what another company already sells, because then a tune would most likely be necessary. I'll try to make whatever I can and hopefully see some gains before messing with the tune and throwing the warranty totally out the window... You can see the 2 cats I have taped together. I don't know if I'll need just one, or two to keep the CEL off, but on the flow bench the 2 cats flowed 32% better than the factory down pipe w/ factory cat... Obviously that's going to go down once I get some pipe and some bents in there, but it was nice to see that 2 high flow cats flowed quite a bit more than the 1 factory unit. I bought an extra PCV hoping to put a catch can on the car. I reached out to elite engineering looking for help/suggestions, was hoping to buy their can for boosted applications, but got no response from them so far. |

I'm curious to see breather mods. I'd like to see 2.5" charge pipes, intercooler inlets and outlets, TB, an expansion down pipe. I wonder how corked up the system really is.
Looking forward to what you can find. |

Have you compared the TB size to the 72mm for the Gen V LFX, maybe it or parts from it can be used to make one to fit.

I'm betting the LGX will be plug and play, maybe the LFX also? But of course an adapter would have to be made. It would have to have kind of a radius/velocity stack affair to it because even the 72mm TB is way bigger than the opening and it wouldn't seal to the oring. (see ghetto design image below, GREEN color is oring in the intake manifold.) I'll try it. Don't know if it will help or hurt performance, but it's worth trying. |
