throttle body ?

[NecroWolf]

my throttle body leaks pretty bad and i'm thinking about getting the summit throttle body to replace it. all i need to do is switch over the kick down linkage right? i looked at the guy on ebay but the summit one is just about 100 dollars more than refurbishing mine and is 58mm. i'm just thinking this might be a little better bang for the buck.

Re: throttle body ?

I've been thinking about getting one of these too. I assume it would be easy to swap the stock bracket over to the new TB, but I am worried about drive ability with such a large bore. I have heard in the past that the larger bore increases the air coming in compared to what the tps is seeing. I know there is a way to tune for this but I have no idea what changes need to be made.

If you end up getting one of these TB I would really like to hear how it works for you.

Re: throttle body ?

The car works off manifold air pressure, not volume (MAF). You tune it by AFR I believe et voila. It shouldn't be that hard...

Am probably wrong though.
