that all depends on what power your engine has already, but expect about 20-25 bhp increase with a 7000rpm limiter, but with the right parts and a higher rev limit you should see even more gains ;)

what many don't realise is that the webcon throttle bodies change the way the car feels to drive, it's much smoother and sounds fantastic too B)

the problem with the TB's is that to make the most of them you need alot of work on the engine before fitting them becomes really benificial.

of course, you can just add one part at a time, like exhaust backbox, then downpipe, then manifold etc etc

cheese...


come on use a bit of imagination please.

one of them is filled with the camshaft anyway and the other can be filled with a tirmmed down bit of ally/steel (or use a SAAB cam cut down to fill it.)

the coilpack cover and water pipe arrived :)

I've done a few mods to get everything to work together, the coilpack had to have the plastic trim and z22se mounting lugs removed, then the cam cover had to have a couple of lugs trimmed back to allow the modified coilpack to sit correctly and the water pipe mounting bracket was trimmed of some excess.
I also trial fitted the water temp sender adaptor, this is an additional sender for my revotec temp gauge as the webcon Alpha ecu uses the original sender position on the thermostst housing.
