Throttle body upgrade

[Alvarez1112]

Im pretty sure I've seen it here somewhere before but I cant find it. Im looking for info on modifying a 3.4 intake for a larger throttle body. Anyone have any idea what Im talkin about?

Re: Throttle body upgrade

take it to a shop and have them port the UIM.

i advise against this
unless you have a wideband sensor and tuning software

Re: Throttle body upgrade

I would wanna do something like this for my car, I have the ported intakes, but they make nothing in terms of TB's for the 3.8. This would help greatly once turbo'd.

I guess I should have mentioned that this is part of a turbo project in an s-10 thats going to me run via Megasquirt. I have welding and machine shop so I have full capabilities to modify the intake. I guess my real question is what throttle body would be the best bet as far as flow characteristics and sizing for the 3.4.

Here are some pictures of my intake modified for a LT1 throttle body:

These pictures are pre-turbo.

I'm also running a megasquirt and have everything tuned w/ a wideband.

Some pictures of my megasquirt stuff are here:
