Throttle Body P&P ?'s

[calvo]

I want to port and polish my TB. I ran a search but did not find what I was looking for. Does any one have step by step instructions with pic's? what are pro's and con's? Also what tool's, parts & materials do I need to do the job?

Thanks in advance [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'll do it for you, and the upper/lower intakes as well.

but make sure you get a maft for the ported throttle body. mine leaned out a little after the TB port and polish. intakes won't affect rich/lean

edit: I just used a dremel and some grinding bits, with a flapper wheel to clean it up, and a polishing wheel to polish them.

Not much to be done on the 99's...

this is more of a 95-98 mod.

well keith, you can give it a nice mirror or satin polish. gets the casting off there. less carbon build up. smoother airflow.

I've never seen casting flaws on the insides of our TB's.

[navyblue2000]

not flaws, but it could always be smoother.

[Magnus]

They are already smooth from the factory. The only polishing you do to it is for visual affects really..

The ONE thing I can think of that could be done on a 99+ is grinding down that front lip above the MAF.. You have to be careful though because its shallow.. and maybe take some epoxy and build a little ramp for it..

Hummm I might be interested in something additional to be done with my TB...I have the 99 I agree that to me The damn thing is already smooth....But always up for suggestions :D

I agree with the smoothness part as far as there being any big burs or what nots but it is not ported or polished stock, air flows mucho better over a polished surface than a stock smooth surface. I would just take a lil off the top and polish it up.

Does any one have any pic's of a 99+ P&P job?
I ordered the Mini-AFC should be here tomarrow to make up for the lesn condition? There is not much to do maybe I will jus polish it up a lil' jus for Kicks and giggles [img]smile.gif[/img]

also I will need a new gasket cause you have to remove it from the car correct?

navyblue2000 or any one elseDid you use a felt polishing wheel or a wire brush?

If your going to polish it, use felt wheel with compount.. but imho you won't gain a THINK from polishing it up as it's already smooth man.
