Same 55mm from Howell. I think it's just a difference in measuring.

Anyone know from experience if this 56mm bored TB makes a noticable power boost over the stock TB.

Yeah I noticed the difference, and you can hear the motor just sucking the air in. Definately worth the $150 I paid for it. ($50 used TB, $100 Howell porting)

in the voice of Mr. Burns .... Agreed! Of course you should have a after market intake too.

So is it hard to install it say if I were to buy that whole new unit from ptunning? and is there hp rating that they give accurate?
4097, RE: AFX 56mm bored T/B ???????????
Posted by Michael_97RS, Jun-27-01 04:02 PM
Two bolts and a couple of torx head screws. Easy as long as you have a set of torx head screw drivers. I do suggest getting a new TB gasket for the install, only a few bucks at SATAN. Also do the Throttle plate adjustment when you are done.

What HP rating do they have?

Well they said about 4-6 hp. They about right?

Intall is easy but getting the sensors off your old TB and put on your new TB might be hard. I had to take mine to the mitsu dealer to have them removed. They used an impact driver. They did it for free just had a make a trip down there.

That was the hardest part.

hey Mike, you said its only $150 for the tb? how come ptuning is charging $279? I want one too for 150 then I could port the manifold to match it..

4101, RE: AFX 56mm bored T/B ???????????
Posted by Michael_97RS, Jun-28-01 01:36 AM
Thura you whoos, can't you turn a torx screwdriver :P. I actually did the install on a lunch hour. Ran home and did it.

The $279 is a price for a new TB. I picked up a used Throttle body for $50. Then sent it to Howell to do the porting for $100. If you find yourself a used TB somewhere and send it to Howell/AFX you will be okay.
