Intake Piping and TB for the SR20VE
I have been browsing on the old forum for the past hour, and I just got fed up with all the ads, and I can't seem to find the exact answer I am looking for.
Right now, I only have a pop charger and the stock VE accordeon pipe connected to the VE TB. There are two things I would wish to do, for better overall driveability (I drive long distances to get to tracks) and getting rid of the ugly stock rubber intake pipe.
So, first of all, from what I read on the old forum, a B14 2.0L short ram should work to replace the accordeon pipe. I just want to make sure, is it 3 inches in diameter, just like the VE pipe? It just says on the old forum that it should fit, but nothing is mentioned about diameter.
Secondly, I currently have a B14 TB sitting at home. I plan to install it with the goal of getting the cruise control back. From the looks of things, the TB appears to be the same in diameter. So, is there any advantage to running the VE TB other than the better control over the cold idle?
I'll keep on searching, but if you could be kind enough to provide me with an answer...
EDIT: From searching around the old site, I see that the short ram for a B14 is indeed the correct diameter. Now, I just need to figure out if I'll be losing power if I am to use the B14 TB instead of the VE one.
