Overview
An Evo owner who wants to keep the stock intake tube and manifold can do so, because this CNC machined throttle body is designed to work with the OEM intake tubing, manifold and throttle cable. It moves the MAP sensor underneath and removes the OEM water passages.
Skunk2 sized the bore as the largest that still works with the factory manifold on the Evo, so the install stays simple. The consequence of that choice is a limited gain. Eclipse fitment is also listed, but only for the 4G63T GST and GSX.
Who it's for
Owners of a turbocharged Lancer Evolution who want an easy bolt-on stage will find the target. Drivers of other Mitsubishi models, or anyone planning a bigger manifold change, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Reuses OEM intake tubing and manifold
- Compatible with OEM throttle cables
- Retains the IACV circuit
- Gasket and hardware included
- Gain is modest on a turbo engine
- Listed for turbo 4G63T engines only
- Does not remove the factory manifold limit
Performance notes
Moving the MAP sensor underneath and removing the water passages shortens and cleans up the body, while the 68mm bore reduces restriction on a turbocharged engine. Smooth throttle feel comes from the sealed bearings and OEM cable compatibility. The listing claims more than eight horsepower across the powerband.
