Throttle Body Modification

[Eugh]

Hi

 

Newbie here. Interested in modifying my throttle body as recommended in the technical post http://www.mycarforum.com/forum/gforum.cgi...e=unread#unread

 

Any suggestions where I can do it?

 

Thanks!

Another mod which I have seen before:- increase trottle internal bore with a corresponding increase in trottle plate(butterfly valve)OD.

Thanks for the info. Can you let me know where to do this mod and how much?

[Biccat]

Not sure because I haven't done it myself

Hi bro, u can get a 2nd hand TB from the scrapyard and do mod on that piece instead of ur own.... just incase somethg went wrong in the process, u still have ur original to fall back on.

[Biccat]

Depending on the model of your ride, you can just get the trottle for the higher capacity of the same model and simply just bolt it on without any modification.

Thanks for the ideas - will try to source for a 2nd hand TB...

[Biccat]

Good luck to you. My case was very simple:- I just bolted on an original bigger bore trottle without modification

[Biccat]

My ride, Matrix 1.6M. Bought the 1.8 litre trottle from Speedworks for $140 and installed at SEB Auto for $30. Total cost $170.

Is the job messy? ..How do you take care of the coolant going into the throttle body when removing the original...temp bypass?
