Title: Ported throttle bodies
Post by: samg40 on March 05, 2009, 02:40:55 pm

Who does ported throttle bodies these days? 51mm stylie like pitstop used to? I could do with getting my GT inlet port matched to it too if I could get it done? Can you get this done Yoofy?

alright Sam, i was talking to Pete a few weeks ago about porting his out for him, i've never done one before but if i get talked through it, it shouldn't be a problem. i've got all the machines to do this.

cheers Tom

I'm having one of our machinists at work do mine. He machined the throttle body to 50.8 mm and this was ages ago. he worked out the angle of the butterfly to make for it but hasnt done it yet.

If you strip yours down, you should be able to get a machine shop to make it for you. Once it's bored out, put the BRV elbow on, scribe or mark the new bore on and port it to match along with the inlet manifold.
