enlarged throttle bodies

by Allys Cally » Thu Jan 26, 2012 6:21 pm

as you's all know i was talking about sending my throttle body away to get enlarged. well i sent it away on monday and i'm pleased to say it has arrived back today all done :D

i had contact with the ebay member who does the work before christmas. and i have to say he was really helpful and a pleasure to deal with. i would highly recommend him if you are considering having this work carried out on your own throttle body. below is a link to his ebay where you can contact him.

Mate...

Let us know of the results, when it's all fitted and tested... :think:

I had this company service my 'Fuel Injectors' and they also do Throttle Bodies...

Might be worthwhile to make them an offer, as they did me a pretty good deal with the Injectors...

You won't notice any difference.

You might if .......... You remove the TC butterfly and enlarge it to the same size as the throttle body, and then you need to enlarge the inlet manifold to the same size and so on and so on all the way through :)
