I seen you can buy a bored throttle body(55mm) for ~$300. I also notice that alot of people have them. Is it that big of a differance that I should have this done? Also, what is the size of the TB stock? Do alot of people do this themselves?

>I seen you can buy a bored throttle body(55mm) for ~$300.

>also notice that alot of people have them.
There is a reason this!

>Is it that big of a differance that I should have this done?
Hell, yes!

>Also, what is the size of the TB stock?
52mm stock, 55mm bored

>Do alot of people do this themselves?
No. not unless they want to have a crappy TB that dosen't work right.

In Sport Compact Car they're doing a "Project Neon." In project neon they sent their throttle body out to RC Engineering. They opened it up to 57.4 mm. It was off a SOHC model. Does that mean RC can open ours that much. I'm not sure how similar their throttle body is to ours since we share a lot of parts.

How long does it take them to do it? How much downtime would you be looking at?

According to their site, it's a 2 week turnaround. Just try and find someone on the board that has a spare one, if you don't have a spare one yet. I just started looking for one today on the board, and already have one being sent.

IN THE MAIL:
AF/X Underdrive Pulley
Stock Throttle Body (thanks Creamo3!)

How much does it cost? I see www.machv.com has them for $300.

howell has them new for $280 and they charge you $100 to bore yours and it takes about 2 weeks as said before.

if you want to have a spare one ask here or just go to a junk yard and get one off a wrecked 2gnt.

Advanced racing dynamics out of TX can do it. My intake manifold and tb are on their way back to me rihgt now... ARD said they ported the manifold more aggressively than any they have done before, and he said they bored the tb more than they have done before on our tb's, I will take some pics as soon as they come in the mail, and I will post letting you know whether I can still hold an idle, hehe.

hey brad.. how much did ADR charge you??

i was thinking of sending the intake mani over there anyhow

and if they will do the TB as well i have one sitting in my room right now.. just waiting to be sent out..

was going to go with AFX but TX is a lil closer
and im going to have them do my tranny swap so might as well give them some more buisness since i will be dealing with them in the future.. just to build up a better realationship with them

let me know please

Evan@realitycc.com

I dont know if he was cutting me a deal or not, but he charged 150 to do the intake manifold and the tb, plus shipping to and from...

hmmm thats pretty killer deal.. now i just need a extra intake mani so i dont have any downtime..

hmm brad where do you live?

I live in Inidana, shipping was 10 bucks each way to them(Texas), UPS trackings shows my shit will be delivered monday, hopefully sat. if I'm really lucky.
