Well I called them up to get prices on their boring our throttle body.
$100 for 55mm
$140 for 57mm

Kinda pricey tho

Thanks for calling Alvin. Howell charges the same for the 55mm. I'm sure the extra 2 mm will make a difference tho.

Do you or anybody else know about ARD's reliability compared to Howells?

I also emailed this place: http://www.proflowdesign.com who charges $140 also but didn't say what the MM was. They are in Seattle and they say turn around is only 2 days.

...And does anybody know if it's a bitch to take off your TB? The Chilton manual sez to just unscrew the bolts with a ratchet but I remember reading here that it was not that easy.

it is easy. took off the intake pipe. and then unplug sensors, accelerator cable , the vaccum hose. and two bolts hold the TB.

Thanks for the info Ken...

ok, update on Proflowdesigns- $155 shipped, 2 day turn around and bored 9MM over stock....so is our TBs 46mm or 52mm to start with?

thats kind of expensive. i got the throttle body bored plus the Intake manifold gasket matched for about 150 from ARD

I also got the 57mm TB and intake mani done for 150 by ARD and they were decent people to deal with. Just shipped mine to them and a week later I paid them to ship it back. 55 and 57 probably won't make much difference unless you are or plan to go forced induction

I dunno if it is worth an extra $40 for 2mm even with boost...I'd stick with a 55mm...ARD or Howell?..

Can anyone tell me what's the website to ARD? I would really like to bore my TB and intake mani. Thanks!!

Maybe this ? has been asked but can you be turbo and be running the Jeep 60 mm Throttle body?

Ken-

i was just wandering around Corbin's page and he mentioned you need TORX drivers to do the TB install. So did you need extra tools besides the ratchet?

haha,,,actually I don't know what's a TORX driver is. I just use my $5 socket set from Advanceautoparts.

torx is like the screws holding your map sensor done on the intake manifold.. im not sure if its the same exact but looks like that get me ?
cool

I am a rookie here so.... How much of a difference will a bored TB make as to a stock one? TIA!

everyone says a faster throttle response...and an improvement at WOT. I'll tell you in about a week about what it does to my car.
