cruiser54 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 You don't wanna hear my butt dyno, let alone smell it. That said, I would venture to say the Renix has the most to gain as it goes from 52mm to 60mm versus 58mm to 60mm or 62mm for an HO. Correct on both points, especially the first one. If I could post a video for you, I would........

cruiser54 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Popcorn doesn't help. Dried apricots, beans, broccolli etc do. I have a smartphone with video capabilities ya know.

HOrnbrod Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Classic Eddie Murphy. Needed that. Sorry all for the thread degradation, but it's all Cruiser's fault. It's somewhat on-topic though as it mimics a Renix exhaust system.
mvusse Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 you have to have a Cat by law Under what jurisdiction does that law fall under, state, federal? :hmm: I recently discovered that my cat is hollow, but i live in an area with no emissions, soooooo . . . . :dunno: Federal. EPA to be exact.

Zebvance Posted October 10, 2014 Author Posted October 10, 2014 Communicated with Jeff Leigh of www.strokedjeep.com this morning. He still does the Renix throttle bodies but has none in stock to ship right now. 2 week to a month wait. These are the emails I got from him when I got in contact. He didn't seem like he was interested in doing them at all.
cruiser54 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Jeff is pinched for time more than anything right now.
AeroNautical Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Just got mine in from Jeff, immediately noticed a difference. First and second seem peppier, more power for less throttle. Very nice, worth the upgrade for sure.

AeroNautical Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Indeed, gonna be shipping out my core to him tomorrow, so that's atleast one that'll be available soon.
cruiser54 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 He sure could use cores. Especially Renix. If you guys have some kicking around, contact Jeff.
benjy_26 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 you have to have a Cat by law In TX, it depends on the year of the vehicle. My 87 needs no cat to pass safety and emiasions. On the subject of a bored out TB making a difference, if you have a high flowing exhaust, intake, and injectors, it'll give you a bit more power in the high RPM range. If you have a bigger cam and better flowing intake and head, it really pays off. If you're bone stock, I suspect just cleaning your old one will have the same effect.
joester1908 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 I sent Jeff an email, I have 2 laying around and 1 in my Jeep, that I plan to have him do!

A pet peeve I have been having increasingly lately on forums. Don't take this personally, but I've got to vent. Your suspicion is wrong. Why is it that those of you who HAVEN'T done something are telling us that HAVE done something, that it doesn't work the way we have experienced by DOING it?
cruiser54 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 I sent Jeff an email, I have 2 laying around and 1 in my Jeep, that I plan to have him do! Cool. He'll appreciate that as will future customers. Like us guys!!
HOrnbrod Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Any of you Renix guys do a before and after dyno run with these bored throttle bodies? If not, it's just wishful thinking from your butt-dyno mistaking better throttle response with more power. But that's cool - I like more sensitive throttle response too.
cruiser54 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 More throttle response gain than cleaning a throttle body.........Just sayin'.
TheDude Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 More throttle response gain than cleaning a throttle body.........Just sayin'.Well I'd hope there would be some difference going from 52mm to 60mm. lol I emailed him too. I hope he starts up with hear again.
