Well it will take me 10 times as long to post a write up as it would to do the work. I'm off, so I'll do it today. That will save some money.

Link to write up...

damn, great write up mane, i emailed ben and he said i cant use the 3100 linkage on the lx5 throttle body so i suppose ill be ordering a 65mm tb eventually. but for now i guess ill be using the 31oo ported throttle body, unless someone knows how to fix the linkage for the lx5 tb to fit on my 3100 throttle cable??? ben never emailed me back about that question.

Thanks, I have hope for a sticky on it. Shuold have done it as a topic, but didn't plan to take it that far. As you can see from the title. Yeah the LX5 didn't look the same, but I thought there could be a chance. Never seen one up close.

me either never up close but in pictures never seen one installed onto a 3x00 yet though. i need to do a bunch of research, and find someone who has done it, so maybe i could see how to do it. or maybe send it out and have them modify it.

My TCE needs some love from a buffer... she's getting dull since it's over 5 years old now... I got mine back in 2006 or 2007 I can't quite remember, but I know it was a while ago.

Why don't you just run a 65mm TB off a 3.5L DOHC? That throttle body is so easy to make work.
