port and polished throtle body *now with pic*
Posted: Sat May 07, 2005 7:23 pm
a few weeks ago i bought a throtle from our good friend and owner of the ghetto garage, Matt monson.
about 2 days ago i ported and polished it taking about 3mm off the entire thing as far down to the butterfly plate on both sides i could go. i even gave it a knife edge at the entrance. i also had more material to go if i wanted to but i didnt want to push it too much
after a few days of driving there is a noticeable inprovement in throtle response and high boost kicks more ass than ever before.
i gave my brother a ride last night, he has a 350z and its a fun car no doubt but when he was riding with me i rolled off the line in 1 slowly ,because there was a cop going the other direction, and flored it. all he could say was "wooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" adn ive given him rides at the same boost before.
hopefully ill have pics as soon as my friend sends them to me which will probaly be never but ill get them somehow eventualy.
i cant remember where i put it right now but if i get some time and find my stock one id be glad to sell it to someone to try this mod or mod it for them and sell. its great to have an extra too becasue theres no rush to do it and you can take your time with the port.
for tools i use my neighbors air tools and a carbide bit die grinder, sand rolls and a dremmel powered polishing kit.
edit,
after almost a year ive gotten pic
