Will I get a CEL on installing ported IM & 80mm TB without tune?
I impulse bought a ported intake manifold and 80mm throttle body for what I think is a good deal at $500. Looking at the listing he wrote it as Overkill brand for both, I have yet to get the Overkill tune but I want to see if anyone knows whether I'll get a CEL on installing these? I will get the tune but this kinda set my plan back lol
I bought Soler's 76mm efficiency tb before and had no CEL issues but went back to stock. Can't find anything regarding CEL on the combo without a tune but I could've missed it so it would be a great help

tuning the v6 (the ecu and tcm) is one of the more effective mods you can do and I believe overkill does free updates to that tune as you continue to mod your car. So there is no downside into doing it first.
Manifold wont cause a cel, but a larger throttle body or badly ported one could. I have neither so can't tell you specifically. Not a big deal to drop the stock TB back in though if it gets uppity. |

Good chance you'll get a CEL with both those mods. BTW what is the "efficiency" Soler TB? I got their 76mm unit as well, but never saw one that said that

I read somewhere that Overkill had a IM & 80mm TB that was kinda put together as one pieces somehow so I’m hoping I either read it wrong or it’s not real. My best guess is it’s the Jacfab IM mated to the Overkill 80mm TB so I may just put the IM on and use my stock TB till I tune then. Quote:

I have the Overkill ported manifold and 80mm throttle body. Been running it without a tune for 2 years without issue.

I’m gonna be googling this but do you happen to know if loctite or any other product will apply a seal when screwed in? Holes in spacer Also, have you had any issues with the RPM’s sticking after shifts sometimes?

Don't feel bad, I didn't catch any of it when I bought mine lol. All I know is the damn thing works, so they can call it whatever they want as far as I'm concerned lol
