RACK 0 Posted December 6, 2004 Anyone got any tips on how to do this on a G60? I know that the inlet will need matching, which I'll do at work. But how do you go about doing it on the actual Throttlebody? Cheers RACK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted December 6, 2004 16VG60 did the one on mine... He's taken an absolute SHED load out of the main inlet side of the body (the seperate bit which has the return butterfly in it) and then matched that to the gasket between the two halves and then onto the main butterfly unit. He's then ground the flat bits between the 2 butterflies to almost a knife edge to make the gas' journey easier and smoother... 8) It's a work of art once it's done, I hadn't realised just how much he'd taken off it until I recently saw an original one! :shock: Give him a yell, I think he may have some ready on an exchange basis... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flusted 0 Posted December 6, 2004 I done the same on my valver but i also machined the spindles down and fitted countersunk screws,cos if you look in a valver 1,the screw heads are a restriction in themselves :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
