I dont think i have ever seen anybody use the dbilas kit on a C20XE but i was just wondering if they were any good?

On the regal site its claimed theres a 25bhp increase, and for ?1009 i think thats a reasonable price for a tb kit.

Another question i have is, is this kit suplied with an ecu or a chip or what?! I got this link:

http://www.regal-shop.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2eregal%2dsho p%2eco%2euk%2fcgi%2dbin%2fss000001%2epl&WD=c20xe&PN=Cavalier_Dbilas_Throttle_Body_Conversions%2ehtm l%23a1006#a1006

And from what i can see they are suggesting its a 25bhp increase with the standard XE ecu/map?

Any more information on these kits?

not true throttle bodies at all, and far to over priced for what they are.

I read on another site they were great for the price?

thats a lie, for that price you could have a WON nitrous kit with controller and also for about 1500-2000 you could have proper throttle bodies with mappable management.

25bhp from that.... LMFAO

I dont like the SBD prices, but their true TB kits produce better power/more tuneable but yourself and a laptop than the Dilbert kits..

I'd sooner run a tank full of sand through my engine than to fit a Dilbert kit.

On the standard ecu, yeah there pointless. Theres no chance you'd see 25bhp gain, that sort of gain comes from the basic sbd kit.....
But i dont see the problem if you fit mappable management.
There throttle bodies, they control air flow just the same as any other throttle body.......

I cant see the link on this pc btw, but i assume there the same as the other dbilas tb kits.

If you go on the actual dbilas site (not regal) their power increases include a cam on most applications and are the same price, Regal use the same power increases and the same price but dont give you the cam. Correct me if i'm wrong.
