The Outlander TB is the same as an OEM 6G72 Tb (65mm), whereas the Diamante TBs are a 68mm. For the hassle of playing with wiring, and the minimal "gain" of 3mm over the OEM 65mm TB for us V6 guys, the Diamante IMHO is not worth the time or money to invest in. For the 4cyl crowd either one will benefit you greatly, and if you are swapping TBs anyways, the Diamante TB is hands down the best bang for your buck for obvious reasons. However, this is not to say you wont see any improvements from just swapping out to a stock 8g or Outlander TB, but when you want something "better"...the Diamante TB suits that...either one will do the job just fine though

Thanx alot man, I had a feeling it was around 65mm which is good enough for me. Awesome

Are you swapping a Diamante TB onto a V6 or a 4cyl???

If it was swapped on a 4cyl then you are following the wrong information as this thread is only pertaining to the V6 engines. There is a 4cyl TB swap thread in the 8g tutorial section that is specifically for that platform

Funny to see the intake manifold I'm using in this thread lol. Anyway, good read still so bump for this!

Hi, I'm new here and I wanted to know where can I buy a intake manifold for my 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante? for performance.

**oakrdrs187** · 03-04-2012, 02:42 AM

^ I don't believe there are performance manifolds, just stock plenums that are a bit bigger, depending on your engine.

There is currently only one performance manifold offered for the 6g7x series motors. The Xcessive intake manifold (which there is still only one in use to date), that will run you roughly $400 if I remember correctly.

Most people are swapping their stock 6g72 (3.0L) intake manifold (Excluding the Eclipse GTS manifold), for a Diamante, XG350, or 6g75 intake manifold for better air flow and improved performance.

Since you have a Diamante manifold currently, your choice to upgrade to would be the 6g75 intake manifold.

This is really what I meant, my facts on the V6's aren't straight, but I knew there was something that could be done.

In Denver, interested in visiting with you regarding a manifold design. Could you PM me your info please. Thanks!
