C488ADO 0 Posted February 25, 2010 today i didnt want my cousin feeling left out so i decided to ransack his garage and fix ? some bits on the car... bought a alpine headunit for the timebeing and it had a dodgy display... but i like alpine so i didnt care... thought id better fix it this is the bloody fault poxy little micro flourescent tube!!! gas filled blown.... normally caused by dropping the face plate... the unit works fine but the display is goosed sound is awesome god damn part is discontinued!! so il use it until i fit the even more retro old skool shizz i got! lol so back to the car, today was going to be a run of the mill routine total balls up type day (useually the case when i want to do something) (esp to the rado) wanted to fit the stuff i got from chris (il refer to him as limp wristed as its broken to save any confusion) limp wristed chris on here i hadc to go to exeter to pick up service parts for rado (didnt make it) ooops sorry john but i will be there lol any way plan strip down inlet rocker alternator etc fix exhaust... stripped down the inlet manifold and saw the throttle body ive been looking at this for a while and thought fcuk it il have a go ... so i did this off the cuff as you do lol pictures are of the standard vr6 2.9 throttle body i got a wheel and sanded/ground down the case markings on the inlet and exit i opend up the mouth of the body only slightly as this is my first attemt ( i am definatly going to do another one) i took out the definate line/groove on both sides of the body i thought id have a go at knife edging the butterfly itself... i didnt go all the way with this as i wasnt sure of the outcome so i took it steady on the next one i will work it as much as i can...!! haha this is the standard butterfly when its open fully the air hits the flat edge of the flap ok not that big hardly noticablebut i guess as with all air flow the smoother the faster the better!

C488ADO 0 Posted February 25, 2010 so what i did was to get rid of the castings and edges lines whatever i opened the bell mouth a little bit not too much as i wanted to see how this runs il save the beast for the next one...!! you can just make out the butterfly with the leading adges a lot thinner than it was before the trailing edge is the same (airflow) it shuts phew!! im going to get another one of these and go to town on it i think ive re-fitted and it has made a noticable difference ....no i havent gained 50 bhp etc but i have gained increased throttle response much smoother idleing and better pick up through rev range much better very responsive now very pleased , on the nest one i will get the edges sharper and use flat screws to help wit the flow....

8vMatt 1 Posted February 25, 2010 You're going to scare everyone reading this into thinking that all you two did today was a load of sausage jockeying! Nice work on the throttle body, think I'll be asking you to have a practice on mine 'nudge nudge' Just how trashed did the garage get with parts and tools everywhere?
