where to source VR6 enlarged throttle body?

[dukest 0]

Hi all,

 

Am possibly getting to the point where I can fund my engine refresh now and think with all the other bits I'm planning to do (chains/clutch/head/VGI/cams/remap etc..) that an enlarged throttle is a good idea too.. Have searched but it seems that noone has mentioned a regular source since using the Alpina527 guy a few years ago. Is he still doing them or where else can you pick one up/get one exchanged??

 

Cheers,

John

I think he is still doing them as my mate just brought an enlarged TB and manifold for his E36 328 BMW. If you do a search I think his e-mail address on here some where.

thanks steve, will drop him a mail then, was just nothing on google about him for about 18 months so thought maybe he'd stopped.

 

if anyone else knows of alternatives though, they're welcome too!

Alpina527 (Ian) is a great guy, done me a TB last year. John i've got his number if you need it.

Just so this is still of use to other people, I spoke to Ian this morning and he has ready made enlarged 2.9 bodies in stock, ready for exchange, at £120. 8)
